With Native Instruments KONTAKT, you can sound like a snare drum, a symphony orchestra, or anything 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 features under the hood – so you can layer, link, stretch, and shape your sounds any way you can imagine.

KONTAKT 6 introduces the KONTAKT Play Series: New twists on sought-after sounds. Each place's robust, 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 that you can change a sound dramatically with a single twist of a macro knob.
