We've been supporting this platform, and the people who use it, with continuous updates to KONTAKT 5, and KONTAKT 6 builds on this strategy with some big additions for you builders out there.

KONTAKT has long since grown beyond its origins as a software sampler, and now provides a solid foundation for building advanced sample-based instruments. HYBRID KEYS moves away from conventional sampling processes and instead focuses on inventive techniques such as re-amping, creative mic positioning in interesting spaces, and vari-speed experiments with tape. The result fuses traditional and digital, with basses, strings (bowed and plucked), wind instruments, tuned percussion, bells/metals, pads/drones, leads, and textural ambiences.Ī contemporary, creative, and ultimately new take on keys and piano sounds. Hybrid organic/electronic instrument that takes myriad acoustic instruments from around the world, and combines it with digital synthesis, organic foley layers, and effects processing. This hybrid analog/digital instrument utilizes blendable sound sources to deliver a modern take on classic electro and synthwave, which have seen a resurgence in recent cinema. Iconic 20th century hardware synthesizers captured with an intricate level of detail, and creatively processed with seminal outboard effects.

They all showcase KONTAKT's new wavetable module, each offering two blendable sound sources and a unique take on a speciality style. Each offers eight intelligently mapped macro knobs giving you a wide-sweeping, intuitive range of control. KONTAKT 6 introduces the KONTAKT Play Series: Sonically rich sample libraries that combine powerful sound design with simple playability. The next generation of the world's favorite sampling platform gives you new instruments and new features under the hood - so you can layer, link, stretch, and shape your sounds any way you can imagine. It's a simple sampler when you want it to be, and a deep sonic scripting laboratory when you need something more. With KONTAKT 7, you can sound like a snare drum, a symphony orchestra, or anything in between, from a universe of sampled instruments.
