Native Instruments have released Kontakt 7, the latest incarnation of their sampling library player, a favourite for many producers and 3rd party developers supplying libraries for it. Kontakt 7 is available for only £269.00 (upgrade only £89.00).
KONTAKT is everything from instant inspiration for music makers to the industry’s leading instrument-building tool. More than a sampler, this shapeshifting platform has powered two decades of blockbuster film scores and chart-topping hits, plus thousands of incredible instruments.
For the seventh generation of KONTAKT, we’re bringing its 20-year legacy into the future. Find sounds easily with a new resizable browser. Explore new musical ideas and find fresh inspiration with an overhauled Factory Library, newly added effects, and under-the-hood audio improvements.
The revamped Factory Library in KONTAKT 7 not only ups the bar for sonic quality and quantity, it also brings our flagship sampler right up to date with big, beautiful, HiDPI interfaces. Get to grips with an endlessly playable – and tweakable – selection of acoustic and electronic instruments, including a new collection of expertly sampled large orchestral sections from Orchestral Tools.
It’s hard to stay in the flow if you’re always having to hunt for your favorite sounds. So we’re putting them all out in the open with an all-new browsing experience. Now you can search, filter, and audition individual sounds from across your collection, view preset properties and edit tags, and even import your indie libraries and home-made instruments.
KONTAKT is your gateway to the widest collection of sampled instruments available anywhere. With hundreds of officially licensed instruments available from NI and other leading manufacturers, alongside thousands more from boutique developers, sound designers, and composers, you’ll never run short of inspiration.
All your favorite KONTAKT libraries are built right here in KONTAKT, and creating unique instruments of your own can be as simple as dragging in a single sample, or as deep as your imagination allows. And with new Psyche Delay and Ring Modulator effects from GUITAR RIG 6, plus an updated time stretching algorithm, your creations will sound better than ever.
