Before a while i installed the Native Instrument “Kore Player” App at my Mac. It was pain, cause everything started up, i choose my Firefly-Interface and heard – nothing. I asked at the message boards but nobody could help me. I tweaked everything around and around. I also installed my Cubase LE Version which came with my Firefly and then suddenly my Mac was slower and slower, with the result that my Songs couldn’t be played well at GarageBand.
Last weekend I reinstalled OSX and my songs played well, but still Kore Player refused to give a sign. It was frustrating and then there was enlightment: I was used just to choose my sound and everything works, but Kore Player needs to DOUBLECLICK! I did so and hej, the player played.
Kore Player is quite nice and integrates well as a “Generator” into GarageBand, but the standard installation just gives you 100 MB of sound. This is ok for testing purposes and for use sometimes, but I am not excited. The sounds are fine, mostly for electronic music, but didn’t leave me stunning. I will now try out any longer and leave it installed, but I am not sure if I should buy these Kore Packs, with which you can extend your sounds.
However it’s a nice idea for all those of us, who have not 999$ to buy the NI Komplete package
