A.I.R.
Installation Walkthrough
Insert DVD 1 into computer and
launch Ambience Impacts Rhythms
installer/setup application
To fully operate A.I.R. 4 main
applications will need to be installed.
These applications can all be installed
from the Ambience Impacts Rhythms
setup/installer.
After entering the serial number
provided within the packaging
You will be prompted to install
Kontakt Player 2 (the main application/plugin
you load to use A.I.R.) make sure
you select your Applications (mac)
or Program Files (PC) folder for
kontakt player 2 (this should already
be the default location when prompted)
After kontakt player 2 is installed
it will next ask you where to
install the A.I.R. instruments
and samples. Please note these
can be installed on any volume
and are 6.2 GB in file size.
Please keep a mental note of
where you are installing these
files because the contents on
DVD 2 will manually need to be
transfered to this folder later
on.
After the A.I.R. contents from
DVD 1 are finished transferring
you will then have the opportunity
to install service center. This
is the application that will
need to be installed to authorize
A.I.R. and other kontakt player
2 products. If you have already
installed service center from
another kontakt player 2 product
you can skip this process. Please
note you will also need to install
Flash player 8 when prompted.
(Flash player 8 is the software
that drives service center).
Once all 4 applications (kontakt
player 2, A.I.R. instruments
and samples, Flash player 8,
and Service center) are properly
installed please insert DVD 2
Once DVD 2 is loaded you will find
a series of .nkx and .nkc files.
Select all of the files on DVD
2 and transfer them to the destination
you selected to install the A.
I. R. instruments and samples.
Thus, the contents on DVD 2 are
transfered into the "Ambience
Impacts Rhythms"
folder that you installed from
DVD1. Once the files finish transferring
you should then authorize the software
by launching Service Center. (if
you do not choose to authorize
immediately you will be granted
a 30 day demo period before the
program will expire)
Service Center is located
Mac: Applications > NI Service
Center
PC: C:/Program Files/Native instruments/NI
Service Center, or can be located
within the Start task menu under
NI Service Center
When opening Service center for
the first time you may be prompted
to update the software please
proceed and allow the software
to update if needed. In order
to register using service center
you will be required to login
to service center. If you are
a first time user of service
center you will be required to
create a login username and password.
Once registered you can then
login to service center and select
the Ambience Impacts Rhythms
application by checking it in
the check box and clicking next
to finish authorization. Once
the product is finished authorizing
you are ready to run Kontakt
Player 2. A.I.R. can be loaded
from kontakt player 2 standalone
software or from the Kontakt
player 2 AU, DXI, RTAS VST plugins.
When loading kontakt player 2
for the first time the Audio/MIDI
settings will pop up. Make sure
you activate the proper Audio/MIDI
configurations for your setup
because at default all MIDI is
turned off. Once your settings
are correct you are good to go.
If you have any further questions
please consult the A.I.R. user
manual, Kontakt player 2 readme
file, and service center documentation. |
