HOW TO ACCESS THE FRACTURED LIBRARY FROM KONTAKT

FRACTURED ships as a Kontakt-powered library, and FRACTURED is

opened from within Kontakt, which can be run either as a standalone

general procedure is to instantiate Kontakt as a virtual instrument plug-in,

then load an FRACTURED instrument in Kontakt, then route a MIDI track to
