Realidrums won't sync to my tempo. It's playing too slow/fast!

Modified on Thu, 15 May at 6:01 PM

In order for RealiDrums to know what tempo your session is set to, Kontakt's 'External Sync' must be enabled. This is a button that says "Ext" and can be found within Kontakt's "Master" settings.

To make sure you can see Kontakt's Master settings, click the Layout button at the top (to the right of the Settings Cog) and make sure there is a tick next to "Master".

If you are using Kontakt 8, you need to change the View option to "Classic View" first, before you see the Master options. (We don't know why they hide this in the "Default View")

If External Sync is not enabled, RealiDrums and your other Kontakt instruments will only be able to follow the Tempo set inside Kontakt (under where it says "BPM" near the "Ext" button.)
