LIBRARY
The KONTAKT 4 library contains more than 43 GB of high-quality sample materials and over 1000 production-ready instruments - subdivided into seven separate Instrument Collections: Band, Orchestral, World, Synth, Vintage, Urban Beats, and the all new Choir. KONTAKT 4 delivers a universe of authentic, immediately usable sounds. The palette spans from world music instruments to big band and on to legendary synthesizers and contemporary club sounds - from fuzz tone e-guitars to classical orchestra instruments: from realistic acoustic drum kits to the latest hip-hop loops. The KONTAKT 4 Library contains numerous exclusive instruments that you won't find anywhere else!

The latest addition to the KONTAKT library is the Choir collection, sampled exclusively for Native Instruments, and providing a complete set of soprano, alto, tenor and bass voices in different setups. The Choir collection makes use of the new Authentic Expression Technology giving you a new level of control: the choir voices can seamlessly morph the vowels ("A-E-I-O-U") while holding a key/note, which is nearly impossible with other samplers.
This collection contains all standard band instruments found in genres like rock, jazz, funk, pop, r'n'b and hip-hop. It covers among other things, e-guitars, basses, acoustic drum-kits, a drawbar organ and various e-pianos. A highlight for sure is the extensive brass section, in which both solo instruments and complete horn sections are contained.
Band now also includes all the sample content from ELEKTRIK PIANO with impoved instruments based on ELEKTRIK PIANO 1.5!
The complete Vienna Symphonic Library Orchestra from the previous KONTAKT has been bolstered with the addition of Solo Strings plus a concert hall organ.
The immense variations in sound and articulation has been ensured by several special functions: Typical instrument playing techniques /articulations can be recalled live (e.g. tremolo, staccato, pizzicato, sforzando), the advanced convolution effect, legato mode, an ingenious Harmonizer, as well as a MIDI filter provide amazing possibilities for stunningly realistic productions.
The much-requested World Collection contains many exotic instruments from all over the globe - uniting some of the world's most different musical cultures. Flutes and reed instruments, bagpipes, plucked instruments and percussions generate a global pool of unusual sounds, offering unequaled creative opportunities for the producer.
Here you will find the full range of contemporary synth pads, basses, leads and drum kits. Since the synthesizer collection possesses its own Performance View, you have the possibility of accessing in seconds the important parameters and tweaking the sound to your desire. Additionally this column contains an integrated drum computer for the synth drum kits - packed full of grooves from the go!
The Vintage Collection handles the legendary sounds of analog synthesizers and keyboards. Also included are drum machines, organs and string synths from the seventies, (including an all new Mellotron), and the signature digital devices of the eighties. Only the original hardware was used for the sampling, and so carry all the character (and peculiarities) of the original material. The unique "Electronic Toys" - is a creative playground full of quirky electronic toy keyboards.
The Urban beats collection contains 50 ready-for-action drum loop production kits. Each production kit consists of a complete drum loop, single loop tracks (snare, hi-hat loop etc. separated) and the individual slices. Therefore you can vary and add accent to your loop with only a few keys. All contained loops have been exclusively produced for NATIVE INSTRUMENTS and are contained on no other sample CD.
