"Kontakt hits the nail on the head by offering features taken from other NI products: effects from NI's Solid Mix Series, filters designed by the creator of Massive, 'MPC vintage' modes from Maschine, and a new time-stretch algorithm signed by zPlane. Add to this more comprehensive routing facilites plus an integrated MIDI file player and you get the reference tool among virtual samplers."
