Native Instruments KONTAKT 3
KONTAKT 3 is here! As you'd expect from any new release,
Native Instruments has done a little reworking of it's flagship sampler and kept
the best features of its previous incarnation.
You can still edit, loop, and slice samples to your hearts content. But with the
new Wave Editor you can draw envelopes directly in the sample waveform with its
Zone Envelope editor or spend hours playing with the 13 functions of its Sample
Editor.
The interface has been reworked a bit, making it even easier (as if it needed
help). Performance views are now tailor-made, unique to each of the six
instrument sets: Urban Beats, Vintage, Synth, World, Orchestral, Band. From a
browsing standpoint, they've added a new quick-search function to help you find
multis, instruments, and parameters instantly, an improved monitor view
simplifies searches involving complex instruments, as well as a fresh instrument
navigator to give you an overview of instruments loaded in the rack with
mute/solo switches. The mapping editor and modulation system have also been
expanded. The latest library includes 33 GB of sample content from outside
producers like Vienna Symphonic Library, Beatlab/Timetools, Chris Hein, and
Pettinhouse you can manipulate with KONTAKT's 1000 presets. Added effects
include Skreamer, a fuzz tone that works well with rhythm and gentler lead
guitars, Rotator, which emulates the B3 organ "Rotor Cabinet", the Twang Amp
Emulator, as well as 11 other cabinet emulations. New keyboard shortcuts along
with reduced load times for instruments that means you'll spend less time
waiting, and more time waving and looping, mixing and grooving.
Arm yourself with KONTAKT 3 and get a sample of what professional performance is
like.
