INTRODUCTION

TO THE

LIBRARY

CHAPTER 01 / INTRODUCTION TO THE LIBRARY

Thank you for purchasing ELECTRI6ITY, an epic electric

guitar virtual instrument containing the most advanced,

detailed, and versatile collection of electric guitars ever

made in a virtual instrument.

ELECTRI6ITY contains eight of the most famous and

distinguished guitar tones from the history of the

instrument: the Strat, Tele, P90, Les Paul, Rickenbacker,

Danelectro Lipstick, ES335, and L4. More than 24,000

24-bit samples were taken of each guitar.

CHAPTER 01

Three pickup options (front, rear, and mixed) are available on every

guitar. An impressive amount of samples allow you to play every

articulation on every fret of every string for an absolutely authentic

guitar sound. Downstrokes, upstrokes, seamless velocity layers,

ghost notes, mutes, harmonics, hammer-ons, pullos, slides,

releases, and FX...the sky is the limit with ELECTRI6ITY.

Electri6ity also utilizes the most advanced scripting to date,

including the revolutionary Articulation Morphing Technology

(A.M.T.) and Velocity Morphing Technology (V.M.T.) allowing for the

seamless morphing from dead mute to sustain or from soft to loud.

Advanced string and fretboard positioning is performed by artiﬁcial

intelligence which adapts to your playing. Play ﬂuid lines in real time

using the legato engine, play chords using the chord detection

engine which understands almost 2000 dierent chords, easily

double-track, do unison bends, strum, pick, trill, tremolo pick, slide...

all of this is built into the ELECTRI6ITY engine and full editing

control is given over each of these parameters.

All samples in ELECTRI6ITY are recorded clean - a direct input from

the guitar. Use ELECTRI6ITY’S built-in multieects (phaser, ﬂanger,

chorus, reverb, and delay), Screamer module, and amp simulation

(British, Classic, Clean, Jazz, Metal, Modern, and Rock) to make the

sound come alive, or use your own guitar amps or simulators to

multiply the possibilities.

REQUIREMENTS

AND

INSTALLATION

CHAPTER 02 / REQUIREMENTS AND INSTALLATION

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

For Mac users, ELECTRI6ITY requires OS 10.5.x or greater, an Intel Core Duo

1.66GHz or higher, a DVD drive, and 4GB of RAM.

For Windows users, ELECTRI6ITY requires Windows XP (SP2, 32-bit),

Windows Vista (32/64 bit), or Windows 7 (32/64 bit), a Pentium or Athlon

1.4GHz or faster, a DVD drive, and 4GB of RAM.

The library requires approximately 27GB of disk space.

Vir2 Instruments strongly recommends more than 4GB of RAM and an 88-

key controller in order to use ELECTRI6ITY to its fullest potential.

INSTALLING

The installation of ELECTRI6ITY is two separate steps: the installation of the

Kontakt engine, and the installation of the ELECTRI6ITY library.

Insert the installation disc into your computer, and you will see the installers

for both components. It doesn’t matter which is installed ﬁrst. Run each of

the installers and they will guide you through the installation process.

The Kontakt installer will install the Kontakt engine, its standalone

application, all of its plug-in versions, and the Service Center authorizer

program. We recommend the Easy Install and that the install locations for

each component are left at their default settings.

The ELECTRI6ITY library is approximately 27GB in size, and its installer will

prompt you for the location you wish to install it. It can be installed on any

available hard drive. For speed reasons, we recommend it be installed on

internal or eSATA drives. Firewire can also be acceptable. External USB

drives may give somewhat less optimized performance. We also recommend

7200 or 10,000rpm drives regardless of the interface used.

CHAPTER 02

UPDATING

After installation, please make sure that you are fully updated to the most

recent versions of the three components that make up the ELECTRI6ITY

package: the library (which contains all the patch information and

programming), the engine (which is powered by Kontakt), and the

authorizer (Service Center). It is possible that any of these components

may have a more recent version than shipped in your physical package, so

you should check for updates to each of these three. You can do this by

visiting the vir2.com web site and checking the Support area.

AUTHORIZING

After you’ve completed installation, ELECTRI6ITY will be working in demo

mode, meaning it will only work for 15 minutes at a time. To fully authorize

it, launch Service Center (found in the Applications folder on a Mac, or the

Program Files folder on Windows) and follow its instructions. You will be

prompted to enter your e-mail address and password that make up your

Native Instruments account, or will be given an option to create an account

if you don’t already have one. Once inside the Service Center, it will give

you a list of all the Native Instruments and NI-powered products on your

hard drive and give you the option to activate them. You are allowed to

install and use ELECTRI6ITY on up to two computers simultaneously.

Service Center will guide you through the process for either online (instant)

activation, or oine activation if the computer you installed ELECTRI6ITY

on does not have direct access to the internet.

CHAPTER 03 / USING KONTAKT

HOW TO ACCESS THE ELECTRI6ITY LIBRARY FROM KONTAKT

ELECTRI6ITY ships as a Kontakt-powered library, and ELECTRI6ITY is

opened from within Kontakt, which can be run either as a standalone

application, or as a plug-in hosted by any major sequencer on either

Macintosh or Windows platforms. All these versions are installed by the Easy

Install option of the installer.

Users who don’t own a sequencer, or would like to simply boot up and be

able to play ELECTRI6ITY, can go to their Applications folder (Mac) or

Program Files folder (Windows) to launch Native Instruments > Kontakt.

Users who wish to use ELECTRI6ITY for sequencing or recording, or wish to

play it multitimbrally, should use it in plug-in mode within a host sequencer.

Kontakt supports the VST, AudioUnit, and RTAS plug-in formats. Any host

sequencer that supports these plug-in formats properly will be able to use

Kontakt. Instructions vary slightly from sequencer to sequencer, but the

general procedure is to instantiate Kontakt as a virtual instrument plug-in,

then load a ELECTRI6ITY instrument in Kontakt, then route a MIDI track to

Kontakt so it can be triggered and recorded.

The following instructions will help standalone and plug-in users get up and

running quickly with a basic track of ELECTRI6ITY.

USING KONTAKT IN STANDALONE MODE

The standalone Kontakt application can be found in the Applications >

Kontakt 4 folder for Mac users, or Program Files > Native Instruments >

Kontakt 4 for Windows users.

After launching the Kontakt application for the ﬁrst time, you will be

presented with a dialog box to set up your audio and MIDI settings. Settings

will vary for each user according to the speciﬁc setup, but the important

thing is to route the audio to a valid audio device, and to set the buer
