Overview
This oboe is the first in our modular range of orchestral virtual instruments. It was
recorded in a dry space, to allow it to be spatialised using any reverb or room emulation
plugin.
We sampled the full range of the instrument, including each note-to-note transition (up to
an octave up and down) to allow you to create realistic and expressive legato lines.
Dynamics and vibrato are modeled, allowing full, automatable control of the entire
performance, while avoiding any unwanted artifacts caused by crossfading between
different samples.
Performance
The performance view contains the most commonly used parameters. For most users, this
page should contain everything you need to start using the instrument.

Mappings
The mappings page allows you to map any instrument parameter to a MIDI CC or other
control source.

2. MIDI Learn
Click a MIDI learn button then move a fader on your MIDI controller
to easily map it to the corresponding instrument parameter.
3. Tongue
Keyswitch
This sets the key for triggering tongued note repetitions (same-note
legato transitions).
4. Attack velocity
response
This slider scales how much the notes velocity affects attack.
If, instead of our mapping system, you wish to use Kontakts built-in automation mapper,
turn off all the controllers on this page by setting the drop-down menus to ---. Do not
use CCs 100 and above, as this may cause conflicts with the internal engine.
Licence
An individual licence can be used:
1. On any number of machines, if they are used only by one person.
2. On a single workstation, used by multiple users (a shared studio PC, for example).
For information about volume licences, please contact us.
You may use this instrument in your own music, commercially or non-commercially. You
may not share or distribute the instrument or samples themselves, either as-is, or as part
of another sample library.
This licence is granted to the original purchaser only and is not transferrable.
