Watermarking
Automatic digital watermarking is applied to all our Kontakt libraries using Continuatas
proprietary software. We embedded undetectable information in all NKI, NKR and NKM files.
Each customer is automatically assigned a unique watermark on purchase then seamlessly
delivered along with the rest of the download. The watermarks are completely robust,
undetectable to binary file comparison techniques and remain in-tact even after re-saving, batch
re-saving or editing instruments.
Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of Evolution Series World Percussion 2.0.

MIDIBits Interface
The MIDIBits main interface is split into three
main areas. The top-left area of the script
contains controls and options related to
playback and recorded. The bottom-left area is
where you can configure and manipulate your
sequences. The right area contains a visual
piano roll that renders your current sequence
visually.
Playback & Recording
The top-most area of the MIDIBits interface
allows you to configure the recording and
playback of sequences. A label at the top of
the panel shows the current mode - this can
be clicked to alternate between Playback and
Record mode.
Playback mode
Bypass Play zones
When Bypass Play zones is enabled MIDIBits
temporarily ignores all input and Kontakt acts
as if MIDIBits has not been loaded. When
MIDIBits is active, it takes control of all MIDI
input. Sometimes you want to restore default
behaviour (to experiment with patches or
practice a performance).
Autoscroll piano roll + play cursor
When this option is enabled, the piano roll
on the right of the interface will scroll when
the cursor moves of screen. This allows you
to follow your performance visually. Disabling
this option may improve performance on
lower spec workstations.
Channel
Specify the channel that MIDIBits will listen
on. Only notes that are received on this MIDI
channel will trigger your configured zones.
Memory: %
Shows how much memory MIDIBits has to
store notes from your performance. MIDIBits
has no limits on the length of a sequence.
However, Kontakts current restrictions mean
that MIDIBits can store roughly 1000 notes
of information per instance. You can load
5 instances of MIDIBits simultaneously and
save as many sequence presets to disk as
your machine can hold.

GUI: %
Kontakt also has a limit on how much
information can be shown on-screen in
the piano roll within a script. GUI % shows
your current usage. Once this hits 0% you
may notice that notes arent shown in the
roll - dont panic. They do exist and should
appear if you scroll or change your visual
filter.
The small cog icon ( )
Clicking the cog icon will drop down the
function menu. The function menu allows
you to CLEAR all data in the current instance
of MIDIBits (all zones and sequences). It
also allows you to change the MIDI channel
youre currently viewing in the piano roll.
Record mode
Record on key press
When this is enabled, the sequence will
begin recordings as soon as a key is
pressed in your sequencer/on your MIDI
controller. When this is disabled, recording
will begin when MIDIBits encounters a CC
change.
Blend with existing
When enabled, all previous notes will
be kept when you begin recording new
sequences and patterns. When disabled, all

Zone View
Zone view allows you to create and
configure playback zones. You can have
a maximum of 16 defined zones currently
within MIDIBits. Zones can be assigned
a key range, a pattern offset, a playback
length and a chord triad.
<< >>
The arrow buttons allow you to select the
zone you wish to edit. The number next to
Edit Zone alerts you to the zone currently
being edited.
Set start key
Click this to set the starting key for the
currently selected zone. After clicking the
button, it turns white. Press a note on your
MIDI controller or in your sequencer (or on
Kontakts on-screen keyboard) to assign the
start note.
Set end key
Click this to set the ending key for the
currently selected zone. As with start note,
press a note on your MIDI controller to
assign. When you have start and end keys
Pattern
This allows you to specific which bar in the
sequence this zone should begin playing from.
Different zones can be configured to start from
different areas of the sequence.
Length
This allows you to configure the length of
playback for the selected zone. Your zone will
loop back to the start (assigned above) once it
reaches the end of the specified beat. A positive
number will specify the loop length, where as a
negative number designates the length in which
the playback should stop.
Key (C/E/G default)
The key buttons allow you configure the chord
that will play back with chord-aware sequences
(C majors recorded with calculate chords
active). The three keys define the respective
