A lot of them have a Multis button as well. When starting Kontakt, by default, a list of all installed sample libraries is shown in the browser on the left side of the window.Īll libraries in this list have an Instruments button. If you have a need to tweak more, say, move an individual zone from one key to another, tune a sample, or add your own scripting, then the full version of Kontakt is needed. It is up to the developer of the library which controls these are. If you load an instrument in Kontakt Player, you can adjust and tweak the instrument only using the controls presented in the custom interface of the instrument.
It is worth noting that the full version of Kontakt is included in Native Instruments Komplete bundle. The Editor is used to build instruments: mapping samples to keys, adjusting amplifiers and envelopes, adding scripting for special behaviour and much more. The main limitation of the free Kontakt Player versus the paid, full version of Kontakt, is that you cannot access the Editor. All of ProjectSAM’s libraries can be used in Kontakt Player. The free version of Kontakt is called Kontakt Player. Kontakt is loaded onto an instrument track inside the DAW, then an Instrument from a Kontakt library is loaded into Kontakt: Kontakt supports the VST, AU and AAX protocols, making it compatible with virtually any DAW, including Cubase, Logic and Pro Tools. Kontakt can run as a standalone application but is used most often as an audio instrument (or plug-in) inside a digital audio workstation (DAW, sequencer). Even though the family of Kontakt-related software has grown immensely, including Komplete and Maschine (offering native support for NI’s Komplete Kontrol and Maschine hardware controllers), this article will focus on Kontakt, since it is our experience that this is how the majority of our users use our sounds. Kontakt is a software sampler by Native Instruments that has grown to become the industry-standard for orchestral or otherwise demanding sample libraries.
