Native
Instruments have been leaders in the production of software
synthesizer plug-ins for some time now. With the release of software
samplers such as IK Multimedia SampleTank
and Steinberg HALion , NI offers KONTAKT - the
ultimate sampler plug-in for your computer! KONTAKT works on both Mac and PC
platforms in Stand-Alone or plug-in compatible applications, supporting
ASIO 2.0, DirectSound, MME, SoundManager, VST 2.0, Audio Units, Core Audio, RTAS, DXi, DirectConnect,
and MAS/FreeMIDI formats.
KONTAKT comes with five CD's full of samples ranging from basic drums,
guitar, piano, bass, and samples from each of NI's own line of
outstanding synth plug-ins to get you started. At the left of KONTAKT's
window is a file browser for searching your disks for samples to drag
and drop into KONTAKT's editing windows. Samples are loaded entirely
into available RAM which means if you want to use a 200 MB sample, you
need at least 200 MB of RAM available to KONTAKT. This is not like
HALion which loads only the attack of a sample into RAM and streams the
rest from hard disk. The result is KONTAKT has a heavy RAM requirement
but is guaranteed to have quick and responsive playback of your samples
with no clicks, errors or audible latency.
When you open KONTAKT you have an empty 'instance' which can support up
to 16 instruments. Each instrument can be assigned to any MIDI channel.
They each have their own key range, velocity range, and polyphony
settings. It also displays the instrument name and RAM usage with global
Tune, Pan, Solo, Mute and Volume controls. Samples can be freely
assigned to key and velocity zones in the Mapping editor by simple drag
and drop. Samples can also be layered over the same keys or at various
velocity zones on the same key. Crossfades between samples assigned to
neighboring keys or velocity crossfades can be set automatically with a
drop-down menu or manually with small handles in the Mapping editor.
The Loop Editor lets you quickly and easily assign in/out points for up to 8
different loops per sample. Multiple loops lets you create stuttering
effects and other wacky stuff. There's a Zero-X mode for tweaking the
loop's crossfade point, auto-find loop start/end points, resynthesis and
timestretching functions.
KONTAKT has a lot of tricks available to mangle samples into something
new. It operates in one of three modes: Sampler, Tone Machine or Time
Machine. Sampler mode is the basic mode where your intent is to
play-back samples such as those from libraries. KONTAKT supports Akai
S1000 and S3000, SoundFont2, GigaStudio, HALion, EXS24, SND, WAV, SDII,
AIFF, and NI Battery files. Tuning and Reverse can be used to alter the
source sample. The Tone and Time Machines offer interesting sample
mangling features based on granular resynthesis. The Time Machine does
real-time time stretching and pitch shifting. Assign a sample to a range
of keys, for example, and each key can play the sample at a different
tempo but maintain the same pitch. Tone Machine gives the sample the
pitch of any key played. The Granular Synthesis process here can yield
some strange results too.
KONTAKT offers a bunch of lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and notch filters
with 6 to 36 dB/oct slopes and resonance, and they sound great. There's
also 1-, 2-, and 3-band EQ's, a phaser, and two vocal formant filters.
Nearly every parameter of KONTAKT can be modulated from sources like the
LFOs, envelopes, step modulators, envelope followers and controllers.
All relevant modulators can be synchronized to MIDI clock. Control- or
right-click on any control or knob to assign a modulation source or MIDI
controller number to it. You can even assign several knobs to the
same controller. And it can 'learn' an incoming MIDI controller number
from your MIDI controller for quickly and easily assigning knobs on your
controller to the parameters of your choice. KONTAKT also offers three
types of envelopes: a DBD (Decay 1, Breakpoint, Decay 2) for pitch
sweeps, a basic AHDSR envelope, and a flexible 32 point envelope as seen
in Absynth and FM7
(pictured below), which allows you to create very rhythmic and looped
effects. The cool Step Modulator is an analog style sequencer with up to
32 steps and is used to rhythmically modulate any modulatable
destination like the filter cutoff, pitch, etc.
In addition there are insert and send effects for each instrument which
include EQ, reverb, chorus, delay, lowfi, stereo enhancer, distortion,
flanger, phaser, compressor, chorus, or any of KONTAKT's 14 filters. The
File Browser window can also be switched to a structure view, in which
all the actual modules, zones, groups, instruments, etc. that are being
used by the sampler appear so you can easily navigate your way around
all he modules in your instrument. And each plug-in instance can support
up to 32 outputs in supporting host applications, and 16 outputs in
stand-alone mode with an appropriate soundcard.
As of this writing, KONTAKT is yet another leading plug-in from Native
Instruments ! It offers superior sample manipulation with synth-like
filtering and modulation that goes beyond what other soft- and hard-ware
samplers offer. The user interface is awkward and takes getting used to,
but it is very streamlined, efficient, and everything is done
graphically within one window. The samples that come with KONTAKT
(developed by Yellow Tools) are not the greatest but show you how
realistic and creative you can get with sample mapping, layering,
modulating, etc. If you were looking to go virtual with your studio,
KONTAKT is the affordable sampler that will replace your hardware
sampler!
Famous user BT says,
"Kontakt is the most comprehensive and elaborate sample engine I've ever
worked with. The only software sampler you'll ever need." Paul Hartnoll
of Orbital says "Kontakt is
the best software sampler that we have ever seen, very simple and easy
to use. Yet with it's modular structure it can be as complex as you
want. It's an incredible creative device..."

SESSION GUITARIST – ELECTRIC VINTAGE

ELECTRIC VINTAGE delivers the iconic sound of one of the world’s most versatile electric guitars, captured from an original, late-50s model built in the USA. It combines a powerful, playable engine with an enormous library of strummed patterns, picked arpeggios, and riffs – for practically unlimited creative combinations suited to everything from contemporary pop to rock, funk, dance, hip-hop, and film soundtracks.

One of the most ubiquitous shapes in modern music history, ELECTRIC VINTAGE captures the distinctive twang and tone of its two single-coil pickups in a rare early USA model. Guitars only get better with age, and every nuance of this beautiful example was made to shine through high-end vintage pre-amps and cutting-edge converters during studio recording sessions.

Select and blend pickups, mix in a little condenser mic for added clarity and punch, and dial in the vintage-modelled tone control. Adjust timing or tuning accuracy, and add fret noise or amp hiss to create true-to-life session guitarist sound that can be sent through an expanded collection of stompboxes, modulation effects, five amps, and 10 cabinets. Add the final polish with high-grade vintage compressor, studio EQ, reverb, and delay emulations – all within the instrument. Create your own effects from scratch or get inspired by the extensive library of included sound presets.

With 231 patterns, ELECTRIC VINTAGE delivers an extensive library across a diverse range of playing styles – combining strummed, open, and muted chords, riffs, arpeggios, harmonics, pinch harmonics, reversed patterns, glissandos, dead notes, and more. Use keyswitches on your controller to create unique rhythms, and build your own combinations from the pattern browser. The integrated Rhythm Finder makes it easy to search for patterns by rhythm and playing style.

Switch between finger and plectrum picking, adjust muted note decay, and play in higher or lower fret positions to move between warmer and brighter, open-string sounds. An expanded range of performance controls make ELECTRIC VINTAGE intricately tweakable for nuanced playing: Switch up voicings, use vibrato and pitch bends, or add slides, mutes, and stops for true-to-life performances. The engine takes care of authentic transitions, repetitions, and adding hammer-ons and pull-offs for realistic, dynamic playing.

ELECTRIC VINTAGE includes two dedicated instruments – one for strummed chords, riffs, and arpeggios, and the other for combining patterns with your own melodies to create cohesive performances from scratch. Together they cover a huge spectrum of playing styles and articulations that wrangle the very best from this classic electric guitar.

Like all models in the SESSION GUITARIST series, ELECTRIC VINTAGE takes full advantage of KOMPLETE KONTROL hardware and NKS integration. The Light Guide can be used to display keyranges, articulations, and expressive techniques like slides and stops, making it easy to switch between playing styles during a take.

ELECTRIC VINTAGE was created in collaboration with drumasonic – the same award-winning team behind ELECTRIC SUNBURST DELUXE and PICKED ACOUSTIC.
