KONTAKT 3 is here! As you'd expect from any new release Native Instruments has done a little reworking of it's flagship sampler and kept the best features of its previous incarnation.

You can still edit loop and slice samples to your hearts content. But with the new Wave Editor you can draw envelopes directly in the sample waveform with its Zone Envelope editor or spend hours playing with the 13 functions of its Sample Editor.

The interface has been reworked a bit making it even easier (as if it needed help). Performance views are now tailor-made unique to each of the six instrument sets: Urban Beats Vintage Synth World Orchestral Band. From a browsing standpoint they've added a new quick-search function to help you find multis instruments and parameters instantly an improved monitor view simplifies searches involving complex instruments as well as a fresh instrument navigator to give you an overview of instruments loaded in the rack with mute/solo switches. The mapping editor and modulation system have also been expanded. The latest library includes 33 GB of sample content from outside producers like Vienna Symphonic Library Beatlab/Timetools Chris Hein and Pettinhouse you can manipulate with KONTAKT's 1000 presets. Added effects include Skreamer a fuzz tone that works well with rhythm and gentler lead guitars Rotator which emulates the B3 organ "Rotor Cabinet" the Twang Amp Emulator as well as 11 other cabinet emulations. New keyboard shortcuts along with reduced load times for instruments that means you'll spend less time waiting and more time waving and looping mixing and grooving.

Arm yourself with KONTAKT 3 and get a sample of what professional performance is like.
