![]() Their piano libraries have such clarity, you can easily capture the elegance and grace of the piano.īrass are ok. most piano synths would have this sort of twangy sound, which i dislike and it feels fake. I felt like i had a symphony orchestra ready at my fingertips, and i was their conductor. But if you ever get to play around with action strings, you will know what i mean. Kontact has many libabries to replicate different ways you can make the same note on a violin (like playing p, mp, mf, f, fff, different bowing techniques, bouncing bow, pizzicato, i can go on). ![]() They all sound dynamic, vivid, and just realistic. Pianos, strings, orchesteas, violins, cellos, etc. And i would pay all that minus the arm, because then i can't make anymore more music.Īll joking aside, Ill focus more on the plugins that are meant to replicate real world instruments. And once you’ve invested the effort in improving your understanding, a whole new world of possibilities will open up to you.There is so much ingenuity in this plugin, its no wonder this thing cost an arm and a leg (and your liver, kidney, and spleen). Take heart knowing that in time, it will make sense. It’s an insane amount to take in, and often not very easy to understand. It’s worth the effort!Īnyway, no one should feel demoralized by not “getting” all of this. I have a waning HW synthesizer that I have been sampling drum patches from into Kontakt. And once you’ve invested the effort in improving your understanding, a whole new world of possibilities will open up to you.

You can use Komplete Kontrol software without the hardware, which enables some nice features that Sanjay C highlights, but to truly get the full benefits, not surprisingly, you use Native Instruments hardware in combination with their software.Īnyway, no one should feel demoralized by not “getting” all of this. And the Komplete Kontrol software is what lights up a lot of those benefits. More here from Sanjay C:ĭo you _have_ to use Native Instruments hardware to use their software? No. However adding the Komplete Kontrol software to the mix really enhances the interaction between Native Instrument’s hardware and software. Komplete Kontrol keyboard/MIDI controller Kontakt. You don’t strictly _need_ it, because you can often just launch a Kontakt instrument and play it: KONTAKT 7 PLAYER is a free application that runs all Native Instruments.

There is some detail to explain the types of content by category here:Īnyway, all of that is to say that NI has built a standard that has an enormous presence in the virtual instrument industry, but not all virtual instruments use that standard. There are other instruments in the Komplete 13 bundles: In other words, the version of Kontakt you need depends entirely on how the developer decides to distribute their work.Ī great introduction to Kontakt is available on YouTube by Guy Michelmore: Kontakt 6 in 20 minutes That’s an option, but in that case NI makes the end-user basically pay for that privilege by making the user buy “Kontakt Full”. ![]() Kontakt Full - however, developers, often the smaller ones, cannot afford to do that, but still want to benefit from developing for Kontakt. If the developer wants the maximum value delivered to their customers, and the least friction, they’ll pay NI what are effectively distribution rights. See 88 musician reviews, how 247 pros use it, 1 candid photo, and where to get a deal on Native Instruments. Basically Native Instruments charges developers for benefiting from the ecosystem they have built. Native Instruments KONTAKT 6, Sampler Plugins. Continuing the development from sampler to sampling platform, KONTAKT has evolved into the host. Kontakt - will be able to load and play, any instrument for which the developer has paid the distribution license fee. KONTAKT 6 is the next generation of the worlds leading sampler.
