Native Access

With the latest innovations it's probably the fastest sampler to work with: Background Loadingdramatically reduces startup delays and the Quick Load Menu delivers instant access to your patches. ® Registered Trademark of Native Instruments GmbH. KONTAKT 4 offers endless possibilities to really get inside your samples. You can easily edit, loop, slice and time-stretch your sounds and pitch shift them in real time or tempo-sync them with the powerful Wave Editor. Draw your own custom envelopes directly into the sample waveform to easily and precisely modulate any parameter, or use step sequencers and flex envelopes to tweak your samples. Refine your sound even further with any of the 19 versatile studio-quality effects such as the convolution effect for super-realistic reverbs, or use the powerful surround sound features for cinematic productions. 'I spent 11 months arranging and programming electronic textures and rhythmic elements for the score to 'Avatar'.

Whether this was the delicacy of the woodsprites falling on Jake in the forest, or the impact needed for the flying and battle cues, KONTAKT 4 provided me with the ability to create and customize sounds in a way that no other sampler can approach. Kontakt was the core of my work on Avatar.'

Simon Franglen, electronic music arranger for Avatar NEW FEATURES IN KONTAKT 4 The KONTAKT 4 update provides several major improvements and brand-new features that enhance the performance and ease-of-use for both new users and those already familiar with KONTAKT. The new background loading feature improves your workflow: It makes opening large instruments incredibly fast, enabling you to play nearly immediately - without having to wait for all samples to be loaded. This applies to the stand-alone version of KONTAKT 4.1 and the KONTAKT 4 PLAYER as well as the plug-in versions. The image on the left demonstrates the radically improved loading behaviour. (System used: Mac Pro, 2x2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 8GB DDR2 DIMM, external 1TB Firewire drive) Details on background loading: Instant access: Imagine loading a 3GB sample library such as SCARBEE MM-BASS and yet being able to continue working after mere seconds. KONTAKT 4.1 frees the user interface so you can start working right away instead of watching a progress bar.

Prioritized loading: Samples that have been played since the most recent loading procedure are the first to be loaded the next time the Instrument is recalled. This makes sure that the samples most relevant to a particular host project are the first to be available. Patch Panels Without Welding.

Playing while loading: During the loading process it is possible to play samples (e.g. Via a MIDI keyboard) that haven't yet been loaded into memory. Whenever KONTAKT receives a MIDI note while the corresponding sample is not loaded yet, that sample will be loaded immediately.

A small delay when playing the sample the first time may occur, affecting the timing of the concerned note. The new Authentic Expression Technology sees KONTAKT 4 radically redefining the authentic reproduction of acoustic instruments with all their dynamics and articulations, while adding completely new options for creative sound design. In addition to the traditional way of sampling different volume levels of an instrument statically, AET is able to capture specific spectral characteristics of samples and gradually apply them to another samples in real-time, allowing you to seamlessly “morph” between different instruments' characteristics. This breakthrough allows for a new level in expression and realism when playing a sampled instrument. AET is especially powerful applied to solo instruments with sustained sounds - such as strings, brass, woodwinds, and choir: You can hold down a key and then seamlessly fade with the Mod Wheel between different articulations (e.g. Trumpet playing with and without mute) or volume/dynamic levels with different harmonics.

It's often possible to merge the acoustic characteristics of different instrument such as the piano and celesta in real time, opening new horizons for creative sampling and new kinds of hybrid instruments. In addition to the six collections available in the previous version, KONTAKT 4 now includes a comprehensive Choir Collection, recorded exclusively for Native Instruments, providing a complete set of soprano, alto, tenor and bass voices in different setups.
