That’s been a core feature since the earliest updates to the platform – the guarantee that libraries will work with your current version of KONTAKT, the next version, and the version after that. Many of you already have entire drives full of these instruments, collected and curated over a period of years, and all of these libraries still work. It’s that flexibility that has caught the imagination of a whole industry of pro and hobbyist creators, who have made it the platform of choice for virtual symphony orchestras, unusual acoustic instruments, unobtainable synthesizers, and everything in between. What that instrument looks like, how complex it is, and how you play it is entirely up to you. If it makes a sound, you can turn it into a KONTAKT instrument. It’s effectively whatever you want it to be. Today, KONTAKT 7 is our flagship, do-it-all instrument platform. Two decades, countless blockbuster film scores, hundreds of chart hits, and thousands of incredible instruments later, we can confidently update that description.
At that time, it’s also fair to say that it was a sampler. It’s fair to say that when KONTAKT launched in 2002, nobody could have predicted its impact on the world of music production.
