We’ve also made it possible to import all of your libraries, and edit tags. Wan to see all your violin sounds in one place, regardless of which product they’re from or which developer made them? Now you can. To make things easier, we’ve completely rebuilt the browser for KONTAKT 7 (the old one’s still there too, in case you’ve grown attached).Īside from looking a whole lot better – especially on Hi-DPI screens, the new browser exposes your individual sounds, as opposed to just instruments, and makes them easy to find with filtering, search, and even audio previews (if you’re familiar with the browser in KOMPLETE KONTROL, this feature works similarly). If you own any version of KOMPLETE from recent years, for example, you may be familiar with the double-edged-sword nature of having so many sounds to choose from. And nothing gets in the way of that quite like having to hunt too hard for the perfect sound.
When it comes to making music, staying in the flow is the name of the game. This approach makes updating the core KONTAKT experience a delicate endeavour, but it’s one of the key factors that have allowed the community around KONTAKT to grow beyond anything we could have imagined back in 2002. That’s been a core feature since the earliest updates to the platform – the guarantee that when you invest in a new library, it’ll work on this version of KONTAKT, the next one, and even the one after that.
Many of you will already have entire hard drives full of these instruments, collected and curated over a period of years. It’s that flexibility that has caught the imagination of a whole industry of pro and hobbyist creators, who in turn have made it the platform of choice for virtual symphony orchestras, unusual acoustic instruments, unobtainable synthesisers, and everything in between. What that instrument looks like, how complex it is, and how you play it is entirely up to you. If it makes a sound, you can turn it into a KONTAKT instrument. It’s whatever you want it to be, effectively.
Today, KONTAKT 7 is our flagship, do-it-all instrument platform. Two decades, countless blockbuster film scores, hundreds of chart hits, and literally thousands of incredible instruments later, we can confidently update that description. It’s also fair to say, at that time, that it was “a sampler”. It’s fair to say that when KONTAKT launched in 2002, nobody could have predicted its impact on the world of music production.
