I'm planning to get the Kompakt soft sampler from NativeInstruments. Will Noteworthy be able to use it ?

Well, I tried a demo of Kontakt 2, the Kompakt's elder brother, and there's no direct mean to make NWC play through it. After long hours of searching, I came across "MIDI Yoke NT" (http://www.midiox.com), and it does the job. Just have to choose "MIDI Yoke NT : 1" as the midi port, in both NWC and Kontakt. By the way, there's a free alternative to Kontakt / Kompakt and other soft samplers, which produces a good General Midi installation (far better than a basic sound card) : "Tobybear MiniHost" for the VST host (http://www.tobybear.de/p_minihost.html) + "rgc:audio sfz" for the sample player. Don't forget to set the chanel 10 to bank 128. (http://www.rgcaudio.com/sfz.htm) + "Titanic" for the GM sound set. 250 Mb ! (http://instrumentsvirtuels.free.fr/freeware.htm#titan, 4 .rar to download), or "Air Font GM-GS" (http://www.homemusician.net/soundfontdl.php?soundfont_category_id=18&soundfont_id=834) + "MIDI Yoke NT" to link NWC to sfz. Sounds a bit complex, but not too hard to install (when you have this recipe, of course ;-)
