What’s new

• Over two decades, KONTAKT has become a highly-developed engine for creating and playing sampled instruments. KONTAKT 6 offers more for players and builders alike:
• Introducing KONTAKT Play Series: Three new instruments for the KONTAKT library, offering pristine, contemporary sound in a creative and streamlined interface
• Wavetable synthesis module: Build hybrid instruments for entirely new sounds
• Enhanced effects: Even more effects for your creations, for greater expression and realism
• Creator Tools: New standalone application dedicated to improving the library creation and editing process.

 

STANDALONE, VSTi x86 x64

 

1. Installation, including additional software (Service Center, Native Access, MS VS C ++ runtime), is not required.
2. All settings are saved in the portable program folder (Windows registry and other system storages are not used, administrator rights are not required * ).
3. The Library Manager is integrated, providing full control over protected libraries, as well as allowing to register unprotected (self-made) libraries without generating nicnt-files.
4. The possibility of simultaneous work with the installed version of the Contact without conflicts and with different settings.
5. No activation of protected libraries is required.
6. Ability to edit password-protected scripts.
7. Possibility of resaving with samples of patches of protected libraries.

 

Notes:
A (super) administrator rights are required if the portable program folder is placed in a secure system storage (for example, in Program Files) – such a location is not natural for portable programs and is not recommended
