..even for later versions of Kontakt. I found it to be better than any resource on the intricate workings of Kontakt. Even videos. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get the most out of a great sampler!

Only option you have - DVD Tutorial is much better

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2006

The Kontakt software has limited information available. While this book is very comprehensive, the best option to learn Kontakt is from the newly released tutorial DVD. It is awesome.
