MORE THAN A SAMPLER

With KONTAKT 6, you can sound like a snare drum, a symphony orchestra, or anything in between, from a universe of sampled instruments. It’s 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’s favorite sampling platform gives you new instruments and new features under the hood – so you can layer, link, stretch, and shape your sounds any way you can imagine.

Main GUI: KONTAKT 6 features a clear layout, with flexible adaptive interfaces, allowing huge creativity for instrument designers – as well as keeping things easy to navigate.

Library section: The Library browser lets you browse all the officially licensed KONTAKT PLAYER instruments you own (around 600 available), with over 2,000 more commercial libraries available via the File browser tab.

New Play Series instruments: KONTAKT 6 comes with the first three KONTAKT Play Series instruments: Powerful and streamlined, they are new twists on contemporary, release-ready sounds, with intelligent performance controls.

Retro Machines MK II: Included with KONTAKT 6, RETRO MACHINES MK II is a collection of 16 definitive analog synthesizers and keyboards. Lovingly sampled, it places the realistic sound of these classic machines at your fingertips.

Factory Library: KONTAKT 6 also includes the KONTAKT factory library – hugely popular with our users, covering a huge range of sounds, from orchestras and world instruments to classic synths and drum machines.

Sampling and instrument creation slicing: KONTAKT is a powerful sampling tool, allowing you to import and record your own samples, then slice, map, and process them, to create custom instruments using the industry standard set of sampling tools. You can also drag and drop samples right onto an instrument, and KONTAKT will process and map them for you.

Extreme detail: KONTAKT enables hyper-realistic instrument libraries. Multisampling, intelligent sample switching, and more, mean playable sampled instruments are often indistinguishable from the real thing, right down to subtle playing techniques.

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:Kontakt
  • 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
  • Modulate your sound with additional new effects taken from MOD PACK; Choral, Flair, and Phasis
  • Drag and drop you own samples into instruments to use them with your own sounds and create one-of-a-kind results
  • 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.

THREE NEW INSTRUMENTS

KONTAKT 6 introduces the KONTAKT Play Series: New twists on sought-after sounds. Each places powerful, creative processing chains into a simple, intuitive interface. These hybrid instruments combine wavetable synthesis with creatively sampled content, allowing dynamic live blending and sound sculpting.
The instruments all feature eight carefully assigned macro controls, corresponding to the eight rotary encoders on our KOMPLETE KONTROL and MASCHINE hardware. These controls are mapped to numerous shared parameters behind the scenes, so you can change a sound dramatically with a single twist of a macro knob.
