Native Instruments Introduces Kontakt Experience
 July 18, 2005
Native Instruments has announced Kontakt Experience, the first
instrument collection specifically designed for Kontakt 2. By making full
use of the advanced functionality of NI's latest flagship sampler, Kontakt Experience goes far beyond the scope of a typical sample library and turns
Kontakt 2 into a powerful music workstation.
Kontakt Experience includes 128 new instruments that cover a wide range of
musical styles and include lead synths, bass, vocal sounds, drum kits, pads,
guitars, various construction kits, and much more. Due to extensive use of
the Kontakt Script Processor (KSP), the unique programmable MIDI processing
module in Kontakt 2, the instruments offer outstanding playability and a
strong creative edge that makes Kontakt Experience truly inspirational.
Included in Kontakt Experience are 10 new and highly useful KSP modules that
are not only seamlessly integrated with the instruments in the collection,
but can also be used with any other Kontakt 2 instrument, opening up new
creative possibilities that are unheard of within a sampler. Additions
include a versatile Chord Splitter, a full-featured Drum Computer, the
unique Melodymaker, a Loop Designer, and more.
The 128 instruments of Kontakt Experience fall into the categories
"Performances", "Motion & Pads", "Vocalized", "Harmonized", "Guitarized",
"Exotic", "Melodic Loops", "Lead & Bass Synths", "Arpeggiated", and
"Drumkits & Drumloops". The library comes with an extensive manual that
includes detailed information on each instrument, including its "Quick Edit"
parameter assignments and KSP functionality.
Kontakt Experience ships on a single DVD and is exclusively for use with
Kontakt 2. It will be available in August 2005 for a suggested retail price
of $119 / 99 Euro from authorized dealers and in the NI Online Shop.
