With KONTAKT 6, you can sound like a snare drum, a symphony orchestra, or anything in between, from a universe of sampled instruments. It\u2019s a simple sampler when you want it to be, and a deep sonic scripting laboratory when you need something more. The next generation of the world\u2019s favorite sampling platform gives you new instruments and new features under the hood \u2013 so you can layer, link, stretch, and shape your sounds any way you can imagine.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s new<\/strong>
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:<\/p>\n
Introducing KONTAKT Play Series: Three new instruments for the KONTAKT library, offering pristine, contemporary sound in a creative and streamlined interface<\/p>\n
Wavetable synthesis module: Build hybrid instruments for entirely new sounds<\/p>\n
Enhanced effects: Even more effects for your creations, for greater expression and realism<\/p>\n
Creator Tools: New standalone application dedicated to improving the library creation and editing process.<\/p>\n
THREE NEW INSTRUMENTS<\/strong>
KONTAKT 6 introduces the KONTAKT Play Series: Sonically rich sample libraries that combine powerful sound design with simple playability. Each offers eight intelligently mapped macro knobs giving you a wide-sweeping, intuitive range of control. They all showcase KONTAKT\u2019s new wavetable module, each offering two blendable sound sources and a unique take on a speciality style.<\/p>\n
ANALOG DREAMS<\/strong>
Iconic 20th century hardware synthesizers captured with an intricate level of detail, and creatively processed with seminal outboard effects. 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.<\/p>\n
ETHEREAL EARTH<\/strong>
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. The result fuses traditional and digital, with basses, strings (bowed and plucked), wind instruments, tuned percussion, bells\/metals, pads\/drones, leads, and textural ambiences.<\/p>\n
HYBRID KEYS<\/strong>
A contemporary, creative, and ultimately new take on keys and piano sounds. 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.<\/p>\n
NEW FEATURES FOR BUILDERS<\/strong>
KONTAKT has long since grown beyond its origins as a software sampler, and now provides a solid foundation for building advanced sample-based instruments. We\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n
NEW EFFECTS <\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n
Replika Delay: Based on the dedicated Native Instruments plug-in REPLIKA XT, it offers multiple delay modes, each with a vastly different sound character.
Room Reverb: A new high-quality algorithmic room reverb that offers options for real time modulation.
Hall Reverb: Another high-quality algorithmic reverb, tuned for hall sounds.
Plate Reverb: Emulates a plate reverberator for for classic vintage metallic sounds.
Cry Wah: Wah-wah effect module, based on the most popular wah pedal of all time. <\/p>\n
WAVETABLE MODULE<\/strong>
The latest version of KONTAKT adds wavetable synthesis to the ever expanding KONTAKT toolset. All three of the new Play Series instruments incorporate this new module, and we\u2019re looking forward to hearing what you create with this powerful new building block.<\/p>\n
CREATOR TOOLS<\/strong>
Creator Tools is a standalone application designed to improve the workflows of library builders and instrument creators. It consists of two elements: A Debugger, for identifying and fixing problems in KONTAKT script, and an Instrument Editor, which can load and run Lua scripts to automap samples, duplicate and batch rename groups, and copy settings from one part of an instrument to another.<\/p>\n
\u25ba Kontakt v6.6.0 Beta 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
VST3, Content Library Path, KSP Commands, Creator Tools 1.4
At a Glance
As the sub-header gave away, we are happy to share with you the long awaited VST3 target!
Additionally, a great UX improvement for cases where users have missing content has been implemented: you can now specify a base path for your non-Player Content but also choose if you want to store referenced paths relative to the base path. You can set these in the updated Loading tab (fka Import\/Load) of Kontakt Options.<\/p>\n
And although VST3 is the main purpose of this release, we couldn\u2019t have a release without a couple of cool new KSP features and improvements. To name one, you can now route the EVENT_PARs to various destinations!<\/p>\n
Finally, we are sure that a lot of our builders will appreciate the new Creator Tools update as it enables file system access via Lua. That means that one can now automate any process via Lua scripts, without leaving the Creator Tools environment! We are certain that you will be super creative in finding ways to optimize your workflows. Enjoy and use responsibly <\/p>\n
NOTE: Hosting Kontakt as VST3 inside Komplete Kontrol and Maschine is not fully supported yet. Please wait for the respective product updates.<\/p>\n
We\u2019d love to have coverage around the following key areas:
\u2013 Generally trying out the Kontakt VST3 target and reporting any discrepancies between Kontakt VST2 and VST3 behaviour and functionality
\u2013 Saving and recalling projects with Kontakt VST3
\u2013 Multiple outputs functionality with Kontakt VST3
\u2013 Migrating a DAW project correctly from Kontakt VST2 to Kontakt VST3 (For DAWS that support this)
\u2013 Sending external MIDI of all kinds to Kontakt VST3
\u2013 Specifically sending Program Change MIDI messages to Kontakt VST3
\u2013 Send MIDI output from Kontakt to other instruments
\u2013 Correct behaviour and parameter naming of host automation with Kontakt VST3
\u2013 Loading and resolving projects with missing content for all Kontakt plugin targets<\/p>\n
This version is fully compatible with the new Creator Tools 1.4.0 beta.
We hope that everyone is safe and thanks again for all your help.<\/p>\n
