![]() Even if you own all the latest, greatest libraries, there’s always that one part of that one cue or track that needs that one particular instrument – and often, you’ll find it in the Library. For those just getting started with KONTAKT, it’s the perfect introduction, containing a wide variety of essentials for most genres – from classical to rock and hip hop. The KONTAKT Factory Library has held a special place in many musicians’ creative toolkits for a long time now. ![]() Control key parameters with dedicated knobs and much more. Use Kontakt with Maschine groove boxes and earlier generations of Kontrol keyboards to browse and preview sounds directly from your hardware. Seamlessly dive into thousands of sounds, instruments, and effects with next-generation NKS technology. The Kontrol S-Series is the intuitive physical extension of your software instruments, featuring an immersive high-res screen, intelligent auto-mapping, and all your key switches and zones helpfully laid out on a Light Guide. With the release of Native Instruments’ Kontrol S-Series MK3 keyboards, using Kontakt is now more tactile and easier than ever. ![]() Libraries from indie developers, freebies, and homemade instruments can now show up alongside libraries from Spitfire Audio, Heavyocity, Output, et al. We’ve also made importing all of your libraries and editing tags possible. Want to see all your violin sounds in one place, regardless of which product they’re from or which developer made them? Now you can. You can also view preset properties, edit tags, and import your indie libraries and homemade instruments.Īside from looking a whole lot better – especially on Hi-DPI screens, the new browser exposes your individual sounds, as opposed to just instruments, and makes them easy to find with filtering, search, and even audio previews (if you’re familiar with the browser in KOMPLETE KONTROL, this feature works similarly). The new browsing experience allows you to search, filter, and audition individual sounds from across your collection. ![]() To make things easier, we’ve completely rebuilt the browser for KONTAKT 7 (the old one’s still there, in case you’ve grown attached). If you own any version of KOMPLETE from recent years, you may be familiar with the double-edged nature of having so many sounds to choose from. And nothing gets in the way of that, like having to hunt too hard for the perfect sound. When it comes to making music, staying in the flow is the name of the game. This approach makes updating the core KONTAKT experience a delicate endeavor, but it’s one of the key factors that have allowed the KONTAKT community to grow beyond anything we could have imagined back in 2002. That’s been a core feature since the earliest updates to the platform – the guarantee that libraries will work with your current version of KONTAKT, the next version, and the version after that. Many of you already have entire drives full of these instruments, collected and curated over a period of years, and all of these libraries still work. It’s that flexibility that has caught the imagination of a whole industry of pro and hobbyist creators, who have made it the platform of choice for virtual symphony orchestras, unusual acoustic instruments, unobtainable synthesizers, and everything in between. ![]() What that instrument looks like, how complex it is, and how you play it is entirely up to you. If it makes a sound, you can turn it into a KONTAKT instrument. It’s effectively whatever you want it to be. Today, KONTAKT 7 is our flagship, do-it-all instrument platform. Two decades, countless blockbuster film scores, hundreds of chart hits, and thousands of incredible instruments later, we can confidently update that description. At that time, it’s also fair to say that it was a sampler. It’s fair to say that when KONTAKT launched in 2002, nobody could have predicted its impact on the world of music production. ![]()
