KONTAKT is the driving force behind a wide range of sampled instruments.

The interface is divided into several panes, each for a separate task. There is a browser window, a database section, and the output pane, as well as other sections, which you can activate or not. Enabling all the panes at the same time might make an inexperienced user a bit disorientated, although it is just a matter of how you organize your work.
KONTAKT Player free software is also a host for hundreds of highly realistic and detailed sampled instruments from other manufacturers. This diverse ecosystem means that KONTAKT is your access point to the industry’s biggest collection of playable sampled sounds.
You can work with several audio samples at the same time and edit each one of them separately. Each sample file you select goes to the ‘Multi-Rack’ section, where the new item contains information regarding its category, name, output / MIDI channels and used memory. You can customize each item by changing its pitch, panorama position, volume, or other elements, such as the percussion level, the sound, the chorus options and so on.
The on-screen keyboard is designed to replace an actual MIDI keyboard online play music and allow you to generate new notes for the selected instrument. Another section is the ‘Master Editor’, which offers you a number of global controls (volume, tempo and metronome adjustments) that affect all your created instruments.
The output section looks similar to a traditional mixing console, enabling you to configure output and auxiliary channels and edit signal processors.
A waveform editor, a script editor, as well as the amplifier module or the internal modulation system, are additional tools to help your process your sample files. Furthermore, you can apply several effects and filters to your virtual instruments, thus enhancing their sound.
This software tool providing you with professional tools for sample processing and by audio editing, help you create your own virtual instruments. This program has what it takes to make you really get into creative sound design.

Kontakt Player FAQs
Can I load any third-party KONTAKT instrument into the KONTAKT 6 PLAYER?
Only third-party instruments that have been made specifically for KONTAKT 6 PLAYER can be loaded. Instruments that are not made for KONTAKT 6 PLAYER require the full version of KONTAKT 6 to run, but can be used for 15 minutes at a time in demo mode and without the ability to save your work.
I use my sample libraries in the KONTAKT 6 PLAYER. What is the benefit of purchasing the full-version KONTAKT 6?
The full version of KONTAKT is a powerful tool for sample instrument building. Users can arrange, edit, loop, slice, and time-stretch samples using seven playback modes. 84 built-in effects allow subtle to drastic sound shaping. Deep modulation possibilities allow for dynamic motion. And multiple sample groups with sophisticated routing deliver options only possible with the power of software.
I already have KONTAKT 6 running on my computer, do I also need to install the new KONTAKT 6 PLAYER?
No – you wouldn’t gain any extra features. So if KONTAKT 6 is installed, then the KONTAKT 6 PLAYER installer will not run.
I have the KONTAKT Instrument installed and registered, but I can't figure out how to start the application.
To use a KONTAKT instrument, you need to have either KONTAKT 6 PLAYER or the full-featured KONTAKT 6 software installed. If neither of these are installed on your computer, download the free KONTAKT 6 PLAYER, install, and launch it. Your KONTAKT instrument will be visible in the KONTAKT PLAYER’s browser. Please note that some newer libraries require the latest version of KONTAKT 6 PLAYER.
