Designed to meet the needs of electronic musicians, producers, and beat makers, Kontakt 8 introduces a suite of cutting-edge features that elevate its functionality to new heights.
Among its standout updates are advanced music creation tools, streamlined loop creation workflows, and the powerful hybrid instrument, offering unprecedented sonic versatility. The expanded factory library provides an even broader range of sounds, while enhanced hardware integration ensures seamless control. Native Kontrol Standard (NKS) integration has been further optimized for faster browsing and a more intuitive user experience, making the navigation of vast instrument collections effortless.
For those involved in sound design, Kontakt 8’s improved instrument-building tools offer greater flexibility and precision, enabling even more intricate customizations. Longtime users will appreciate the thoughtful performance enhancements, while newcomers will find themselves inspired by the limitless creative possibilities that Kontakt 8 unlocks.
Whether you’re crafting intricate soundscapes or building immersive sample libraries, Kontakt 8 is a powerful tool that pushes the boundaries of what a sampler can achieve.
The pinnacle of sampling technology
Sampling technology has come a long way since hardware samplers first started to emerge onto the scene in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Kontakt 8 represents the current pinnacle of sampling technology, offering endless ways to transform sampled sounds into gorgeously rendered instruments. Kontakt 8 raises the bar yet again, providing you with new Chords and Phrases tools that enable straightforward MIDI content creation, as well as randomization features for expedited melody and sequence generation. Leap provides you with lightning-fast loop and sample manipulation, and it includes 12 genre-targeted Leap Expansions: Afrobeats, Latin Trap, Platinum Pop, Progressive Trance, Soul Gold, and more. Beyond that, you get a new Conflux hybrid instrument that combines samples with wavetable, FM, and ring modulation oscillators, putting a whole new universe of real-time sound manipulation at your fingertips. Finally, Kontakt 8 boasts deeper NKS integration with hundreds of instruments, equipping you with quick browsing, previewing, and hands-on control over your virtual instruments.
Brimming with inspiring sounds and presets
The Kontakt 8 Factory Library 2 includes over 900 instruments, covering everything from pianos, strings, brass, and other acoustic instruments to vintage synthesizers, drum machines, and much more. Plus, Kontakt 8 allows you to tap into a worldwide community of cutting-edge sound designers, with countless third-party sound sets developed in and optimized for Kontakt.
Deep editing and sound design tools
Beyond its stunning collection of Factory sounds and nearly limitless options of expanded sound sets, Kontakt 8 provides you with an improved selection of tools for building your own instruments. This can be as simple as dropping in a single sample or as complex as building a bespoke sample-based instrument from the ground up using Kontakt 8’s comprehensive set of editing tools, modulators, time-stretching algorithms, and effects. The only limit to Kontakt 8’s sound design capabilities is your imagination — create the instrument of your dreams with Kontakt 8!
Seamless hardware integration for hands-on control
Kontakt 8 seamlessly integrates with Native Instruments’ and Maschine and Kontrol S-Series MIDI keyboards, transforming your DAW into a music production and performance powerhouse. Using Komplete Kontrol with a dedicated hardware controller, you can keep your eyes off your computer screen and on your keyboard or Maschine to browse and modify sounds and presets and get hands-on when designing sounds and performing.
