Overall, Kontakt 6 brings the world’s favorite sampler up to scratch and has enough new content to warrant an upgrade from the almost 7-year old Kontakt 5 engine. There is also the new Creator Tools, which is a standalone application meant to improve the workflows of library builders and instrument creators with a Debugger and an Instrument Editor. Speaking of sound design, there are new possibilities there too, enabled by five new effects – three new reverbs, a Replika delay module, and wah-wah along with a new wavetable engine. These instruments debut the new Kontakt Play Series – a range of sample libraries that mesh extensive sound design possibilities with simple playability.
If you tend to use Kontakt mainly as an instrument host, you’ll be thrilled to know that version 6 expands the factory library with three new sampled instruments: Analog Dreams, which is all about vintage synth sounds, Ethereal Earth, which combines sampled traditional instruments with digital synthesis, and Hybrid Keys, which pulls off a modern digital twist on various classic keyboard instruments.
