OVERVIEW


Sketchpad is a free MIDI recorder that runs inside of Kontakt. Load it up alongside your favorite Kontakt instruments and record everything you play, then drag a MIDI file of your recording to the timeline of your DAW or into your favorite notation program.

In Kontakt standalone, you can compose using inspiring sounds from any Kontakt library, but avoid the distractions and procrastination that can happen when you’re working in a full production environment.

Harness the creativity in free-writing. Record long improvisations outside of your DAW without the temptation to edit or tweak. Then select the best parts of your performance later.

Start writing - fast! Musical ideas can be fleeting, but starting up a modern DAW with hundreds of plug-ins can take several minutes: long enough that you might lose your moment of inspiration. Save a default Kontakt multi with the light-weight SKETCHPAD instrument pre-instantiated and you can be composing in seconds — before you lose your train of thought.
