What is Envoy?

Envoy is an analog percussion instrument for composers, producers, and sound designers working in cinematic, electronic, and experimental music. Recorded with shifting hardware modulation, its sounds carry movement and character within each hit. Shape tight pulses, dark textures, and intricate rhythmic phrases with per-step control over velocity, pitch, length, pan, and filtering, then push them further with modulation and effects. Explore 273 presets or build your own patterns from scratch. Runs in the free Kontakt Player.

Envoy FAQ

Yes, Envoy works in all major DAWs, including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Pro Tools, Reaper and Cubase.

All presets and sounds in Envoy are royalty-free and copyright cleared for use in your commercial projects. Your purchase includes a commercial license, allowing you to use these sounds in any professional recording without further legal obligations.

Kontakt is the industry-standard sampling platform used by the world’s top producers and composers. It acts as a "host" for thousands of different virtual instruments – from hyper-realistic orchestral libraries and rare vintage synths to modern pop keys. You can use Kontakt as a standalone application or as a plugin within your DAW to play, edit, and layer these sounds into your tracks.
If you’re just looking to play Kontakt instruments, Kontakt Player is the free version that runs all NI Kontakt instruments, plus loads from third-party developers.

Technically, no, it’s a Kontakt instrument.
However, it functions just like a VST instrument in your DAW.
While musicians and producers often use "VST" as a catch-all term for any virtual instrument, Envoy is formatted specifically as a Kontakt library (.nki). To use it, you simply load Envoy inside Kontakt or the free Kontakt Player. Since Kontakt itself runs as a VST3, AU, or AAX plugin inside your DAW, the end result is identical: you open it, play it, and automate it just like any traditional VST.
