Kontakt itself is also authoring software the part you're not seeing is a huge engine of modulation, scripting and customization. Instead of companies like 8DIO and SoundIron having to build their own sampler, they can focus on just the libraries and use Kontakt instead. Kontakt itself is a gateway the real value of Kontakt is in all the 3rd party libraries.

If you want Kontakt and Reaktor, just get Komplete - it costs a bit more but is a far better deal. NI wants you to buy Komplete rather than the individual plugins. Check the Native Access application to see if you're missing any libraries there.Īm I missing something? Just seems so expensive and of little value

Our teams are fully committed & invested into continuing this modernization with the rest of the product to bring it to the place that serves the needs of today’s music maker.You should have the factory library with it if you're not seeing it, you might've done something wrong when installing it. The powerful new Browser is the first major example of this and based upon extensive user research and testing. Thus, we’ve chosen to approach this incrementally and improve the underlying workflows as we go. Given KONTAKT's role as a professional tool for many music makers, we’d like to avoid major disruptions to workflows, ensure stability, and deliver benefits early. In order to modernize KONTAKT's look and feel, and support high-DPI monitors, we’ve needed to transition KONTAKT to a new graphics rendering technology. Why is only KONTAKT's browser Hi-DPI? What about the rest of the application?


For now, the KONTAKT Factory Library 2 and CHOIR: OMNIA are the only products built on this technology but the number of instruments will quickly grow. This language is currently within closed-alpha and will be made available to developers over time as the language stabilizes. To enable developers to create modern, high-definition instrument user interfaces in KONTAKT, we’re introducing a new user-interface language for products called the Native UI. As a sampling-platform, over its 20-years history, there is a portfolio of literally thousands of KONTAKT instruments - the vast majority created by third-party developers.
