Summary of Contac's inventory

If the downloaded sound iscompressed packagePlease unzip it first. Some files may have several layers of compression packages until the sound source file is unzipped.

If decompression oriso filePlease use the virtual CD-ROM drive to open it (Win10 comes with it, just double-click to open it)!

If the decompressed file hasInstaller, directly install, most of this category are standard sounds (with .nicnt suffix format files,)

How to judge whether it is standard tone or non-standard tone, the difference is:

1-Standard soundThe root directory of the sound library contains files with the .nicnt suffix format, which can be directly stored in the library.

2-Non-standard timbreThe root directory of the sound library does not have a file with the .nicnt suffix and cannot be directly added to the library.

How to enter the warehouse correctly:

Create a new folder in the root directory of the disk(The folder name must be in English)Put the unzipped audio source into it*Don’t use too many folders*.

If it cannot be stored, it will be considered as a non-standard sound

Key points: The file path to be stored should not contain Chinese charactersGenerally, the sound source name will have Chinese characters. Just rename and delete them and keep the English characters.

Don’t put too many folders inside each other. Don’t put too many folders inside each other. Don’t put too many folders inside each other.

Non-standard sounds need to create a .nicnt file for storage! Put it in the sound library directory and then store it.

When creating a .nicnt file, be careful of duplicate codes. Duplicate codes will result in the sound not being displayed in the library.

The solution is to re-make the .nicnt file and change the encoding

All-round instrument platform

From instant inspiration for music producers to industry-leading instrument-building tools, KONTAKT has it all. More than just a sampler, this versatile platform has powered nearly 20 years of blockbuster film scores, chart-topping music, and thousands of amazing instruments.

A new chapter

For the seventh generation of KONTAKT, we've brought its nearly 20-year legacy into the future. Easily find sounds with a new, resizable browser. An improved library of factory instruments, newly added effects, and under-the-hood audio improvements let you explore new musical inspirations and find fresh creative ideas.

Looks good, sounds better

The remastered factory libraries in KONTAKT 7 not only raise the bar in terms of sound quality and quantity, but also bring the large, beautiful HiDPI interface of our flagship sampler. Master an infinitely playable and tweakable selection of acoustic and electronic instruments, including a new collection of professionally sampled large-scale orchestral parts from Orchestral Tools.

The largest collection of virtual instruments

KONTAKT is your gateway to the most extensive collection of sampled instruments available anywhere. With hundreds of officially licensed instruments from NI and other leading manufacturers, and thousands more from boutique developers, sound designers, and composers, you'll never be short of inspiration.

As powerful as you imagine

KONTAKT is the industry-standard sampling instrument platform, used by top instrument developers worldwide.

Its powerful feature set provides developers with unparalleled creativity, using advanced sampling tools and effects modules, modular architecture and advanced scripting to provide ultra-accurate reproduction of real instruments, original independent instruments, built-in sequencing functions, etc.

KONTAKT 7 includes a powerful wavetable and sound engine, allowing all new hybrid instruments to combine sampling and synthesis to create truly unique sonic textures.

Effects

KONTAKT comes with a wide range of professional effects. Built on Native Instruments' comprehensive DSP technology, these effects offer a full range of sound-shaping capabilities – from subtle tonal changes to large, complex effects chains.

Using NI's own DSP technology and that of its partners, KONTAKT offers advanced, high-quality time stretching, pitch shifting, granular synthesis, vintage digital sample emulation, flexible loop playback, slicing, and more.

Unparalleled production efficiency

KONTAKT's unrivalled performance is powerful enough to power complex and highly realistic sampled instruments.

Efficient audio streaming straight from disk, intelligent storage management, and meticulous background task scheduling enable KONTAKT to load tens of thousands of samples in seconds and play hundreds of sounds simultaneously for powerful, expressive sonic realism.

routing

KONTAKT's flexible signal routing structure allows for the implementation of complex instrument signal routing architectures.

This allows developers to emulate multi-microphone studio recording setups, professional composers to work with the latest multi-channel audio formats, and sound designers to freely create elaborate effects chains and even apply sound separation processing to each sound.

modulation

KONTAKT features a comprehensive suite of musical modulation modules, allowing you to create everything from realistic vibrato to otherworldly synth textures. A comprehensive library of envelopes, LFOs, and step sequencer presets lets you modulate any effect parameter or sample playback. Modulation can also be introduced from external signals (such as incoming MIDI) for endless sonic possibilities.
