Band
This collection contains all standard band instruments found in genres like rock, jazz, funk, pop, r'n'b and hip-hop. It covers among other things, e-guitars, basses, acoustic drum-kits, a drawbar organ and various e-pianos. A highlight for sure is the extensive brass section, in which both solo instruments and complete horn sections are contained.
Orchestral
The complete Vienna Symphonic Library Orchestra from KONTAKT 2 was revised and has been supplemented by many further NI-produced instruments. The immense variations in sound and articulation has been ensured by several special functions:
Typical instrument playing techniques /articulations can be recalled live (e.g. staccato, tremolo, sustain, fortepiano) while the convolution effect precisely reproduces real concert rooms acoustics. A legato mode, an equally ingeniously yet simple Harmonizer, as well as a MIDI filter for the automatic production of certain kinds of scales ("Constrain to Scale") give completely new possibilities for creative production.
World
The much-requested World Collection contains many exotic instruments from all over the globe - uniting some of the world's most different musical cultures. Flutes and reed instruments, bagpipes, plucked instruments and percussions generate a global pool of unusual sounds, offering unequaled creative opportunities for the producer.
Synth
In this category you will find the full range of contemporary synth pads, basses, leads and drum kits at your disposal. Since each synthesizer type possesses its own Performance View (see below), you have the possibility of accessing in seconds the important parameters and tweaking the sound to your desire. Additionally this column contains an integrated drum computer for the synth drum kits – packed full of grooves from the go!
Vintage
The Vintage Collection handles the legendary sounds of analog synthesizers and keyboards. Also included are drum machines, organs and string synths from the seventies, and the signature digital devices of the eighties. Only the original hardware was used for the sampling. The directly sampled raw sounds therefore carry all the character (and peculiarities) of the original material. The unique "Electronic Toys" - section require special attention - a creative playground beyond compare full of quirky electronic toy keyboards.
Urban Beats
The Urban beats collection contains 50 ready-for-action drum loop production kits. Each production kit consists of a complete drum loop, single loop tracks (snare, hi-hat loop etc. separated) and the individual slices. Therefore you can vary and add accent to your loop with only a few keys. All contained loops have been exclusively produced for NATIVE INSTRUMENTS and are contained on no other sample CD.
Performance Views are a unique feature of the KONTAKT 3 Library that you won't find on any other sampler - each instrument has its own tailor made (and individual to each instrument) view - see the examples above!
This compact representation in the rack highlights the essence of the respective instrument and supplies direct access on all essential sound settings and performance parameters (e.g. effects, articulation, playing styles), without having to penetrate the depths of the instrument.
In this way KONTAKT 3 does what no sampler has done before: the simple, immediate and playable-expressiveness of the entire Library without detours - thanks to the focus on developing the individuality of each instrument.
