The Native Access Application
- Downloading, installation, activation, and updating are all conveniently managed using the Native Access 2 application.
- If Native Access 2 is not installed on your computer, please download its Installer here.
- The Installer comes as a compressed zip file.
- Double-click the zip file to decompress its content when the download is complete. Then double-click the installer to install Native Access on your computer.
- When Native Access has been installed, open it and log into your Native Instruments account or create one by clicking “Create a Native Instruments account” at the bottom of the window.
- When you log into your Native Instruments account, the Native Access main window appears.
- Click “Add a serial”, enter your Serial Number, and then click ADD SERIAL to complete the Registration. You will find the serial number of your purchased product in your order confirmation email.
- Once the Registration process is complete, you will see a Thank You message and your product(s) will appear in the “Not Installed” window.
Installing the purchased Product
- The first time you click “Install” to the right of a product listed in the “Not Installed” window or click “Install All”, a dialog appears where you can select your Installation Preferences. You can also access this dialog by selecting it in the user settings menu at the window’s top right-hand corner.
- Native Access will now begin downloading your product(s). A bar below the product(s) displays the download status. Once downloaded, Native Access will automatically begin to install your product(s).
The keyswitches are located at the very low end of the keyboard.
The keyswitches go from C-2 to G-2 which is 6 octaves below the Middle C (C4).
If you have a small MIDI keyboard use the “Octave -” button to navigate to the lowest octave.
The Animator works quite differently from usual drum library MIDI files. What you are hearing when you use the Animator is a combination of:
a) the Animator MIDI file
and
b) your input chords
The MIDI file itself contains lots of notes (!) Simultaneously as well as control notes.
Only in combination with the real time algorithms of the Animator engine and your chords will you get musical results.
Therefore it is not possible to export the exact phrase you are hearing in MIDI.
Our instruments are compatible with all major DAWs including:
- Pro Tools

Our Kontakt instruments can be installed on up to 3 machines.
Pure Piano and Pure Upright can both be played wirelessly via Bluetooth MIDI.
For this to work, your MIDI controller needs to have Bluetooth MIDI built in or have 5-pin MIDI out. Providing it has the MIDI output connector you can buy Bluetooth MIDI adaptors to connect to your MIDI controller to transmit the MIDI signal from the controller to your IOS device. The audio output will still come from your IOS device unless you are connected to an audio interface that has been selected as the chosen output.
If you are experiencing any glitches or notes dropping in Pure Piano or Pure Upright, the first thing to try to resolve this is to turn OFF “Liquid Moprh” in settings.
If the notes are still audibly dropping, check that your voice mode is set to “Opt” as this will provide the best balance between max polyphony and performance.
Yes, if you map hardware controls on your MIDI controller to CC14 and CC15, and send them to your IOS device, these CCs will control the X and Y positions on the morphpad respectively.
