People have a lot of misunderstandings about Native Instruments' KORE. Is it a synthesizer? A sample library? A controller? A patch librarian? Is it for composing? Sound design? Performance? Well, the answer to all these questions is YES!

KORE is such a powerful instrument that we've given you nearly six hours of video covering every aspect of KORE. Going far beyond the manual, you'll dive deep into KORE's sound matrix and create complex sounds that you can control in real-time for composing, sound design, or performance. You'll learn how to use KORE as a plug-in for your favorite sequencer, and also how to integrate KORE with other plug-ins, including KOMPLETE. Along the way, we'll show many examples of complex instruments you can build with KORE to give you ideas on constructing your own sounds.

This tutorial-video is divided into three main chapters. In the first chapter, all the basic features of the software are covered – from using KORE's flexibile sound browser to creating your first sounds. In the next chapter, "Diving In Deeper," you'll see how to create complex, nested and layered sounds with KORE and review all of KORE's built-in audio and MIDI effects in detail. The course winds up with a chapter on using KORE in performance and as a plug-in to your sequencing software.

This training program is a perfect companion course to Native Instruments 102: Complete NI KOMPLETE, which provides a comprehensive look at the eleven instruments that make up Native Instruments' KOMPLETE suite.

If you just have the "Kore player" like I have this tutorial will be somewhat helpful, because the "Kore player" can't do all the things that "Kore2" player can.

These tutorials are excellent. Scott is a great teacher and the material is presented in a clear manner. As a complete Kore novice, I have been able to readily absorb all of the material. The only negative comment I will make is that the tutorials should have used sounds that came with the basic Kore system. It is obvious that Scott owns many more patch libraries than I do and that creates 2 points of confusion. First, all of his search result numbers are different. Second, when he auditions or demonstrates techniques using sounds I don't have, the results he and I get are different. I would recommend that the next time Scott does a tutorial, he start with a clean installation and use only those sounds and tools available from the product being taught. Besides that, an excellent tutorial series and I would definitely buy other tutorials from you.

I don't see how I could even scratch he surface of Kore without this product. Once I received my Kore 2 from UPS I jumped right in.

What a Godsend these tutorials are!!! I've been muddling my way through Kore II for about six months now -- thought I could just figure it out by trial and error. After a lot of trial and an almost equal amount of error, I stumbled upon these tutorials and what a difference it has made! I feel like a have an excellent understanding of the Kore synthesis and now I'm making music like the demo's I hear on the Native Instrument site! Thanks so much!

Outstanding tutorial. NI should be ashamed at the terrible manual it provided with Kore 2. Not only is it riddled with mistakes, it is terrible in explaining how to use the product. Freiman's tutorial is spot on and he very clearly takes you through the steps. It's too bad that MacProVideo doesn't do a tutorial on Complete 6. That would be the perfect compliment.

Am about half way through. Very thorough and detailed instructions. The only knock so far is that the instructor is using Koresounds in many of the lessons that are not in the basic Kore2 package, leading to some frustration trying to follow along closely. Would suggest that the tutorial stick to the Koresounds that the basic Kore2 package comes with. Some of us can't afford to add the Komplete5 to it yet. (I believe that is where the Koresounds I don't see are coming from???) Other than that, it seems to be very informing.

I highly recommend this tutorial. It'll take a while for you to get the best out of Kore 2 using the manual and asking questions on forums. This covers everything in reasonable detail with clear examples. There's a lot in it but it's divided up into many bite-size parts and is well indexed so you can go back and reference any part of the programme. It is well presented, easy to follow, simple to learn and can be to hand when required.

This was a great tutorial and a great reference tool after you've finished watching. This was well organized, well edited and it never dragged. This really helped to gain a quick understanding of what Kore 2 can do!
