What is Panorama Whitekirk?

Panorama Whitekirk is a cinematic guitar instrument captured inside an almost 900-year-old Scottish church, where a curved wooden nave and stone chancel create two distinct acoustic spaces. An electric and a semi-hollow guitar were recorded in stereo through two amps and an effects pedalboard, covering pristine cleans to washed-out fuzz and reverb-soaked textures. Drag your listener position across a plan of the church to blend between the two room sounds in real time, simulating walking through the space. Ideal for composers working in film, ambient and experimental music.

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