Native Instruments Kontakt 7 Crossgrade from Kontakt Libraries - Electronic Delivery

Product Description

Native Instruments Kontakt 7 is your gateway to an unmatched trove of virtual instruments. More than a sampler, Kontakt has powered two decades of blockbuster film scores and chart-topping hits, plus thousands of incredible instruments. Kontakt is the industry’s leading instrument-building tool, with the instruments in the Kontakt library built right here and developed alongside Native Instruments Kontrol S-Series keyboards and Maschine hardware for a deeper playing experience. When it comes to building your own, your imagination is the limit.

THE BIGGEST COLLECTION OF VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS

With hundreds of officially licensed instruments available from NI and other leading manufacturers, alongside thousands more from boutique developers, sound designers, and composers, you’ll never run short of inspiration.

LOOKS GOOD - SOUNDS EVEN BETTER

The revamped Factory Library sets the bar for sonic quality and quantity with over 900 meticulously sampled instruments, from bagpipes to drum machines and everything in between. Get started with an endlessly playable – and tweakable – selection of acoustic and electronic instruments, including a new collection of expertly sampled large orchestral sections from Orchestral Tools.

FIND SOUNDS FASTER

It’s hard to stay in the flow if you’re always having to hunt for your favorite sounds. So Native Instruments is putting them all out in the open with an all-new browsing experience. Now you can search, filter, and audition individual sounds from across your collection, view preset properties and edit tags, and even import your indie libraries and home-made instruments.

STAY IN THE FLOW

Bring Kontakt to life through deep integration with Native Instrument's latest Kontrol S-Series MK3 keyboards, the intuitive physical extension of your software instruments: featuring an immersive high-res screen, intelligent auto-mapping, and all your key switches and zones helpfully laid out on the Light Guide. And seamlessly dive into thousands of sounds, instruments, and effects from Native Instruments' partners with next-generation NKS technology. Use Kontakt with Maschine grooveboxes and earlier generations of Kontrol keyboards to browse and preview sounds directly from your hardware, control key parameters with dedicated knobs, and much more.

DREAM IT, BUILD IT

All your favorite Kontakt instruments are built right here in Kontakt, and making unique creations of your own can be as simple as dragging in a single sample or as deep as your imagination. And with new Psyche Delay, Ring Modulator, Big Fuzz, Crush Pack, and more effects from Guitar Rig, plus an updated time stretching algorithm, your creations will sound better than ever.

ORCHESTRAL

Completely overhauled in KONTAKT 7 by Orchestral Tools, the comprehensive, integrated collection of sampled string, woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments in the Orchestral collection are all taken from OT’s flagship product range, The Berlin Series. Recorded with the finest musicians, in situ, on the same Teldex Scoring Stage in Berlin, these libraries are used by AAA-list film, media, and game composers.

ACOUSTIC

Flutes, dulcimers, recorders, bagpipes, fiddles, plus a brand-new hurdy gurdy, and a range of gongs and percussion sounds with editable MIDI patterns. The Acoustic collection packs 60 meticulously recorded instruments that let you add layers of unique character to tracks. Cross borders and continents to tap into distinctive, authentic sounds from a huge range of locations, including Ireland, Turkey, Japan, Cuba, Armenia, and beyond.

BAND

Whether it’s rock, funk, jazz, or soul, you can find the authentic sounds you need in the Band collection with a range of acoustic and electric sounds – newly added guitars, plus basses, organs, horns, and e-pianos. The collection also has a range of drum kits, which come with preset grooves that can be exported with MIDI drag and drop. Choose from different articulations and playing styles, and dial in extra character with a range of controls, including vibrato and sustain.

BEATS

Find your flow and lay down rhythmic patterns fast – the Beats collection is totally overhauled for Factory Library 2. Choose from 288 pre-made Grooves across 90 kits, or free-play your own rhythms with a keyboard or pads. You can also use MIDI drag and drop to export the Groove patterns into your DAW for editing, and further customize your drum sounds with a range of studio-grade effects including chorus, flanger, reverb, and delay.

CHOIR

The Choir collection delivers choral vocals that span the soprano, alto, tenor, and bass pitch ranges. New in KONTAKT 7 are a range of high-quality patches that include the vowels Aah, Eh, I, Ooh, Uh, and Mmm, as well as sustain, marcato, staccato, and staccatissimo articulations.

SYNTHS

All the pads, leads, arps, and basses you could ever need, including a freshly added Soundscapes category for evolving, cinematic textures. From the earliest vintage gear to sci-fi-ready FM and modular rigs, the Synths collection contains a huge range of electronic sounds, along with high-grade effects that let you dial in sweeping filters, echoing delays, roomy reverbs, and more.

VINTAGE
