Native Instruments - Kontakt 8 (licence)

Kontakt 8 is the latest evolution of the leading sampling platform for musicians, composers and music producers, bringing a wave of new features designed to catalyse inspiration and sonic innovation. This major release introduces powerful features to accelerate the creative process and open up new sonic horizons.

At the heart of the innovations, the Chords and Phrases Tools offer an intelligent approach to quickly generating MIDI sequences, melodies and harmonic progressions. These tools, compatible with all your favourite Kontakt instruments, are perfect for unlocking new musical ideas and overcoming writer's block.

For fans of sound manipulation and looping, Kontakt 8 unveils "Leap", an ultra-fast instrument and loop player that invites experimentation. It comes with 12 "Leap Expansions", themed sound packs covering a variety of genres such as Afrobeats, Latin Trap and Soul Gold, for immediate integration into your productions.

Sound exploration reaches new heights with 'Conflux', an innovative hybrid instrument. It fuses the richness of samples with the flexibility of enhanced wavetable, FM and ring modulated oscillators, allowing you to sculpt and modulate organic and synthetic sound textures in real time.

The renowned 'Kontakt 8 Factory Library 2' has also been expanded, now boasting over 900 instruments to cover every musical need. Of course, Kontakt 8 retains its position as the platform of choice for thousands of sampled instruments developed by third-party editors, and offers seamless hardware integration with Native Instruments' Kontrol keyboards and Maschine systems. Deep NKS integration makes it easy to browse, preview and directly control hundreds of virtual instruments. The instrument creation tools have also been enhanced, offering more possibilities for sound designers.

Kontakt 8 is ready to become the mainstay of your musical productions!
