What is Jade Evolutions?

Jade Evolutions will be your new secret underscoring weapon!

Based on the experience gained from the development of the Syllabuilder and X3M lines, the Evolutions engine gives you access to the featured performances in an intuitive way, while also allowing you to combine them with custom electronic sounds recorded from hardware synthesizers for that modern cinematic sound. The core of Jade Evolutions is the XY pad, enabling you to freely morph and blend between 4 zones of mapped instrumental performances and layer electronic sound sources on top at will.

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, Jade Evolutions is formatted specifically as a Kontakt library (.nki). To use it, you simply load Jade Evolutions 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.
