With KONTAKT 6, you can sound like a snare drum, a symphony orchestra, or anything in between, from a universe of sampled instruments. It’s a simple sampler when you want it to be, and a deep sonic scripting laboratory when you need something more. The next generation of the world’s favorite sampling platform gives you new instruments and new features under the hood – so you can layer, link, stretch, and shape your sounds any way you can imagine.
What’s new?
Over two decades, KONTAKT has become a highly-developed engine for creating and playing sampled instruments. KONTAKT 6 offers more for players and builders alike:
Introducing KONTAKT Play Series: Three new instruments for the KONTAKT library, offering pristine, contemporary sound in a creative and streamlined interface
Wavetable synthesis module: Build hybrid instruments for entirely new sounds
Enhanced effects: Even more effects for your creations, for greater expression and realism
Creator Tools: New standalone application dedicated to improving the library creation and editing process.
Kontakt 6.1.0 Changelog – 2019-05-08
- ADDED There is a new wavetable mode (Inharmonic) that stretches the partials away from the harmonic series for more bell-like tones
- ADDED KSP: Kontakt can now import whole performance views as NCKP files (that can be made with Creator Tools) through the new load_performance_view() command
- ADDED KSP: A new UI control container has been added (ui_panel)
- ADDED Kontakt now automatically picks up changes in the following subfolders of the resource container: scripts & performance_view; editing and saving any of those files results in an instant update of the related Kontakt instrument without the need to reset the engine via the panic (!) button in the header
- ADDED KSP: The Retrigger button on modulators can now be controlled via KSP ($CONTROL_PAR_INTMOD_RETRIGGER)
- ADDED KSP: The waveform display now has two new drawing modes ($CONTROL_PAR_WF_VIS_MODE, with $NI_WF_VIS_MODE_1, $NI_WF_VIS_MODE_2 & $NI_WF_VIS_MODE_3 as potential values)
- FIXED Slices from imported REX files would not be recognized
- FIXED The labels for the Lo Shelf and Hi Damp controls in the Plate Reverb were inverted
- FIXED KSP: There were some missing getters for newly added control parameters around custom fonts (e.g. $CONTROL_PAR_FONT_TYPE_ON_HOVER)
- FIXED KSP: There were some missing getters for $CONTROL_PAR_TEXT for certain controls
- FIXED Zone volume changes from the Creator Tools Instrument Editor were not predictable when higher values were used
- FIXED Sorting of files in the Library tab wouldn’t be predictable on APFS disks
- FIXED KSP: search() would not work on ui_tables
- FIXED Host automation would break for ui_switch elements in many cases
- FIXED It was possible to set the delay time for Replika to values that would cause instabilities
- FIXED Kontakt would crash when loading certain 3rd party products (like those in the Shreddage 3 series)
- FIXED Kontakt would crash or hang when attempting to change note mapping on GGD Matt Halpern Signature Pack
- FIXED The wavetable oscillator would sound “darker” on certain pitches
- FIXED KSP: Color settings for level meters would not take effect if applied outside the init callback
- FIXED KSP: The hide state of ui_file_selector appeared to be wrong when queried via get_control_par()
- FIXED The group source mode parameter is no longer saved in snapshots; snapshots saved with older versions are recalled as they always did
- FIXED Kontakt would crash when pressing the End key in the File Browser (Windows only)
- FIXED KSP: In certain cases, the wavetable display UI widget would not be displayed on first load of an instrument
- KNOWN ISSUE KSP: In certain cases, the ui_file_selector element reverts to its base path, forgetting the last selected file
