After that you are free to edit the audio in so many different ways and add other audio files as well to make an entire sample collection in one. You can drag and drop any audio file into the Kontakt interface and it is immediately mapped out and pitch shifted onto the midi keyboard. The best thing is to separate all the sounds that really excel into another folder for easy access.īesides being a great sample player, Kontakt has been really useful to me in creating and editing my own samples. In the end, there are some decent sounds in there but you have to go looking. I find the strings, for example, to be a bit harsh but that can be great if you want to boost the upper frequencies of a more dull string patch, or a synth pad. However, they can be effectively utilized mixed-in with more professional samples for a bigger, fuller spectrum of sound. The orchestral samples are very flexible and controllable, but just don't sound that great. The Kontakt sound libraries themselves are pretty decent although not the best. Once it's loaded up, all you have to do is find your sounds and double-click. For a complete beginner it might take a bit to realize the full potential of this program, such as the sample editing capabilities and using the multi-channel aspect to save CPU, but it's generally straightforward. Most projects I've done start with me opening a multi-channel instance of Kontakt and loading up the sounds I need. I generally use Kontakt as a plug-in and outside of some occasional samples I've programmed myself in some of Logic's synthesizers, I use Kontakt exclusively for sample playback, editing, and creation. It's a strong and versatile program and after using it for about 7-8 years I'm still learning more and more about how powerful this thing is. Kontakt is my one and only sample player.
