Welcome to TWENTY FIVE
Welcome to the Play Series TWENTY FIVE online manual. Read this user guide and explore a time capsule of classic sounds from NI's rich sonic history.
As part of the KONTAKT Play Series, TWENTY FIVE is a limited-edition, free instrument created from the sounds of 37 classic instruments that represent our rich sonic history. Specially designed to celebrate our 25 years in sound, it aims to serve a broad range of styles that draw on our past but look to the future.
As with all Play Series instruments, TWENTY FIVE aims to balance intuitive, performance-focused control with nuanced sound design. The macros offer quick and dynamic control over the synth engine, enabling you to quickly shape presets and customize your own sounds. For those who wish to go deeper in sound design, you will find powerful sound editing tools and custom effects chains that offer further control and inspiration. TWENTY FIVE also contains an analog-style sequencer that can produce chords, arpeggios and melodic, rhythmical patterns. Ultimately, these tools aim to provide you with inspiration for your own sound creation.
