No Sound Pro Tools Midi Control Through Kontakt

The Korg Volca Beats is a joy to use. The analog tones - kick, snare, toms, and hats - really are the heart of this little machine. They sound so fantastic and their control is minimal but covers a wide range of tonal shaping possibilities. The hats are the standout. The grain knob really has a unique element of sonic control. I bought the Volca Beats, again after having one many years ago, specifically for the sound of the hats. Programming with MIDI notes is the way to go here. You could definitely do a cool one-bar performance on this beast especially getting crazy with the Stutter function but, for my purposes, writing techno-electronic tracks, MIDI note triggering from a DAW is ideal. For fine control, I recommend sequencing your MIDI notes and then recording samples of each instrument for use with sampler instances in your DAW. This way you can adjust the phase of each sample to really gel everything as opposed to having a random analog phase to each tone. Also recording samples allows you to process each sound individually and that is really what a polished & professional sound is all about. The PCM sounds can be cool and sound wonderfully degraded at low pitch settings but honestly you can ignore them and stick to the analog section without losing ANY value to the machine. Korg has delivered almost certainly the best budget friendly analog (and PCM) drum machine with the Volca Beats.

I love this mix control so much that I bought 3 and soon one more to make it 32 tracks control for my pro tools and Logic Pro x. This controller works smooth and get the job done. You don't need no big board that is beyound your budget. This right here gets it done and doesn't take up space. I really highly recommend this for any home studio or even small professional studio.

I use this with my pro tools 11 and works great with my iMac. Smooth control and on point. I liked it so much I bought 4 of them

Title says it all. Pro Tools suites are connected via Dante. Volume control on Dante monitor interface is tiny and inconvenient. We run the audio through this to control input to powered monitors.

This is a very powerful virtual sampler/synthesizer with a very fast and intuitive interface. I can drastically tweak my patches with ease, much more so than I can inside of Kontakt. I think MOTU is certainly making a statement with this, and their customer/tech support staff are really generous with their time. The built in granular IRCAM engine and SCALA file support is also something that I have been desiring for quite some time in an high-end, professional sampler and MF3 has them both! This is a very powerful piece of software. It even opens many of my Kontakt patches! The LUA scripting engine is also much more universal and intuitive than Kontakt's KSP language which also makes it more inviting for sound-library developers. This is most definitely my new 'go-to' device for creative music and sound composition and manipulation

No wonder why this microphone is the industry standard. I recorded myself and listened and checked in Pro Tools with and without eq. It sounds amazingly better without any effects. So rich the dynamic range that it records with right out of the box.

I’ve been a musician for 33 years and this little guitar-to-midi box is one of the coolest tools I have ever used. Being able to play any sound imaginable on a guitar is a massive capability and this little box powered by a single as battery is the golden ticket. 6 stars!

One of the best midi controllers I have ever used. I am able to control my euro rack to my computer and everything in between. Awesome

Not as sophisticated as Logic Pro or Pro Tools, but great to capture the sound and can download wavs to other programs.

I work in pro tools a lot during my commute and they sound better using my laptop's headphone out than any other studio headphones I've tried yet. Plus the short cable rocks as well!
