World Inspire Sets
One of the great things about this library are
the World Inspire Sets. They can be found
in the Taikos Multi folder.
With a hit of a key you can have an epic
drum ensemble play. If you like, you can
create your own grooves as well.
A World Inspire Set consists of multiple
Instruments. Each Instrument contains a
different drum. The concept behind a World
Inspire Set is to provide a variety of inspiring
drum combinations and grooves.
Unique Grooves
Like the World Inspire Sets, All patches/
individual drums have unique grooves
assigned to keys. This gives the user a
wonderful starting point when it comes
to creating rhythms. If you wish to alter a
groove, you can drag the groove via the
taiko interface directly to your daw.

Advanced Page
The advanced page gives the user access
to some important features, such as roundrobin reduction and reset, Velocity Stepper
and Velocity Curve adjustment.
1. Velocity Stepper
This is effectively a velocity arpeggiator. To
activate it you must press the button to the
left (you can also assign this button to midi
CC). When active you can use the mouse
to draw a velocity pattern. Once done just
play the individual hits on your keyboard
to hear the results. The Velocity Stepper
automatically adapts to your DAWs time
signature.

5. Groove Latch
Allows you to play a groove with out
continuously holding down a key. To stop the
groove playing press the groove key again.
Additionally with this feature you can play
individual drum hits over a midi groove. Please
note that if you use this feature and your playing
over a busy groove you may hear some odd
phasing sounds. This is most likely due to
doubling up a similar hit played at the same
time live and via the midi groove.

6. Round-robin reduction knob


Allows you to adjust the amount of used
round-robin. The more round-robin, the
more realistic the performance. Round-robin
refers to the process of cycling through
multiple alternate samples/recordings of a
particular hit type creating a more human
feel. For example, an instrument with 4
microphones, 5 velocities, 10 round robin,
and 15 hit types would equal to 3,000
samples. So loading an instrument with less
round-robin will substantially decrease the
sample count.

2. Velocity Curve
With the use of the curve knob the user can
easily adjust the key sensitivity to suite their
playing style.
Advanced Controls

3. Link Velocity to CC1


Press this button if you wish to control the
midi grooves velocity by key sensitivity or the
modwheel.
4. Bypass Articulation Mapping
With this feature active you can move the
hit type key position with out affecting the
groove playback.

How do I add my own


midi grooves to the user
folder for individual
instruments?
Due to the way our midi engine works you
will need to place your grooves in 1 location.
Please make sure you give them unique
names (i.e. dont call it midi groove 1.mid
etc, call it something useful like epiccat.
mid)
Firstly locate your World Percussion Taiko
Folder
Next place your grooves in this location:
World Percussion Taiko/Instruments/Midi
Grooves/Instruments/[INSTRUMENT NAME
i.e. Wine Barrel Taiko Ensemble Midi]/User
Now your midi grooves will appear in the
user folder within the instruments groove
folder menu.

your grooves in 2 locations. Please make sure


you give them unique names (i.e. once again
dont call it midi groove 1.mid etc, call it
something useful like epiccat.mid)
Now place your grooves in this location:
If using a mac please copy your midi files to this
folder:
Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Native
Instruments/Kontakt 5/midi/Evolution Series/
World Inspire Sets/User
If on a PC:
/Users/Name of User/Documents/Native
Instruments/Kontakt 5/midi/Evolution Series/
World Inspire Sets/User
Now your midi grooves will appear in the user
folder in the multis groove folder menu.

Surround Sound
Another important feature of this library
is the ability to mix in surround sound.
By suppling the room close and room far
microphone sets - it makes it easy to create
a surround sound space. For example
you could always place the room close
microphone set in the front speakers and
the room far in the back.
In order to set an instrument up in surround
sound, you will need to make sure your
version of kontakt is configured correctly.
Please refer to the Kontakt reference manual
for more information.

When playing a multi how


do I know what groove
Im playing?
Unlike when using an individual instrument the
only way to know what groove you are playing
on the keyboard is by looking at the bottom
left hand corner of kontakts interface. There
the midi grooves name will appear when being
played.

For multi instruments you will need to place
