About Kontakt

Kontakt is the industry-standard instrument platform for music creators, combining access to thousands of sound libraries with powerful tools for creating your own instruments.

Kontakt comes with 900+ instruments that you can add to your library by downloading the Kontakt Factory Library 2 in Native Access. On the Native Instruments website you can get hundreds of officially licensed instruments from Native Instruments and other manufacturers.

In addition to hosting instruments, Kontakt enriches them with Tools, a suite of MIDI effects for generating Chords and Phrases in real time. Kontakt also features Leap, a sample playground that lets you play and manipulate loops and one-shots to create exciting ideas and performances.

Kontakt integrates seamlessly with popular DAWs and hardware controllers, and the advanced integration with S-Series MK3 keyboards enhances your creative workflow with hands-on control over your Kontakt instruments.

You can choose between different views in Kontakt depending on your goals. The Default view lets you to quickly play and combine Kontakt Instruments, Tools, and Leap. If you want to build your own instruments, the Classic view gives you all the features to create instruments from scratch.
