KordsKontrol needs the following components:
- A computer (running Windows, Mac OS or Linux Debian) to host the software – It can be a complete desktop computer, but also a mini PC like Intel NUC, or even a Raspberry pi. Once initial setup is done, you can forget about the computer, and so, you will not even need to have a display screen plugged in anymore.
- A compatible pad controller to use as interface with the software – KordsKontrol is a software solution, I do not sell any hardware. KordsKontrol is targeting compatibility with several MIDI pad controllers from Native Instrument, Novation, or Korg.
- Instruments to play the notes generated by the software – KordsKontrol is an harmony generator, not a sound generator:
- Virtual Instruments
- One or several plug in hosted by your DAW,
- Or, a Standalone Music software
- A virtual loop back MIDI cable between KordsKontrol and your virtual instrument (either as Third-party or created directly within your OS is you are on Mac or Linux) in order to direct the MIDI from KordKontrol to your destination software without having to use any hardware MIDI interface
- Or, MIDI hardware Instruments
- One or several MIDI hardware Instruments such as synthesizers, expanders
- An hardware MIDI interface if these instruments do not include one, to connect them to the computer hosting KordsKontrol software
- Virtual Instruments
