Free, advanced instrument with access to the best NI sounds
KORE PLAYER is a free software instrument with a production-ready 300 MB sound library. Built on the same principles as the flagship KORE 2 Super Instrument, KORE PLAYER includes six Native Instruments sound engines under the hood and provides ready-to-play sounds that can be browsed and tweaked via the ultra-intuitive KORE PLAYER interface. Adding new sounds is as easy as purchasing and downloading affordable KORE SOUNDPACKS.
Whether used stand-alone or within your favorite sequencing environment, KORE PLAYER brings world-class Native Instruments sound within the reach of any musician or producer.

Find & Play - The KoreSound® Browser:
The KORE PLAYER boasts KORE's trademark powerful browser, which makes finding the right NI KoreSound incredibly fast and intuitive: Simply select the desired musical characteristics or instrument type, e.g. "analog" and "bass", or use the full text search, and start playing.
For those who don't know, KoreSounds are a next-generation sound preset technology developed by Native Instruments. The KoreSound format is what allows KORE PLAYER patches to use multiple synthesis methods and sampling, and to be saved with metadata and controller settings.
Tweak - Sound Controls and Morph Pad:
KORE PLAYER takes the science out of editing and tweaking sounds. One easy-to-understand and unified interface for the six integrated sound engines gives you intuitive access to all important sound parameters via eight knobs and eight buttons - all of which can be automated and recalled direct from your host sequencer.
What's more, every KoreSound sports up to eight sound variations and allows smooth morphing between these individual settings to create lively and dynamic sounds in seconds!
