The speed and bandwidth of the hard drive are also important. You will get the best performance if your library is on an additional hard drive separate from your system drive or the drive where you store your audio projects. Check where your KONTAKT Library folder is located.

Please note that the Memory Server feature is only available on Mac systems and is not visible for Windows users.

Note: Further information regarding the Memory Server can be found in the KONTAKT reference manual. If you are using a 64-bit host sequencer or running KONTAKT in 64-bit mode, turn the Use Memory Server option off, since this option has no effect in 64-bit applications, and is likely to lessen KONTAKT's performance. If you are using a 32-bit host sequencer and your computer is equipped with 4 GB or more RAM, turn the Use Memory Server option under Options>Memory on. Make sure that you have not used all your RAM so that virtual memory is not in use for the samples.For example, if you have set 2 cores in the standalone version, this will not change the settings in any of the plug-in versions of KONTAKT. Please note this setting is different in the standalone version and plug-in version of KONTAKT. You can select any number of cores to use, from one to the maximum number of cores available on your computer. In the Multiprocessor support section you can adjust the number of cores you wish to use with KONTAKT. Tweak your Multiprocessor support settings.This can make a significant difference in performance. If possible, add more RAM to your system to increase memory to run KONTAKT as well as your sequencer more effectively.

If you are using KONTAKT within a host sequencer such as Pro Tools or Logic, the computer will need sufficient resources to run the host application as well. Note that these system requirements apply to KONTAKT running as a standalone application while no other programs are running. Make sure the CPU speed and RAM of your system match the requirements of both KONTAKT and your host sequencer (the system requirements can be found on the product package or on the product web page).Note: Further information regarding latency can be found in the article What is Latency. In this case click the ASIO Config button to open a separate control panel and adjust the latency setting in there. If there is no slider available on the right side of the Latency entry the latency is handled by your hardware drivers. Increase the latency by moving the Latency slider to the right. If you are running KONTAKT in standalone mode, open the Options and click the Audio tab. Increase the latency in the Preferences of your host application if you are using KONTAKT as a plug-in.
