KONTAKT overview

KONTAKT hosts a huge array of KOMPLETE Instruments. 37 filters, four new on-board studio effects, time-stretching, an instrument bus system, and more allow powerful, expressive sound shaping. Advanced scripting provides builders with an incredible sonic playground. It includes a rich and diverse sound library with well over 1,000 different instruments. Over 43 GB of samples -- all recorded and processed with meticulous attention to detail and quality. Easily edit, loop, slice, and time-stretch your sounds, pitch shift in real time, or tempo-sync with the powerful Wave Editor. 64 integrated effects provide a universal sound design toolset -- all with full surround-sound support.

What’s new in version 6.1.1

Version 6.1.1:
Fixed:
  • KSP: In certain cases, the ui_file_selector element would revert to its base path, forgetting the last selected file (v6.1.0 regression)
  • KSP: Controlling most convolution parameters from KSP was broken (v6.1.0 regression that caused all related controls on many instruments to become unresponsive)
  • KSP: The getter for $CONTROL_PAR_HIDE would not return the right value if the value was $HIDE_PART_BG (v6.1.0 regression that caused severe cosmetic issues on Spitfire products)
  • KSP: Any use of $HIDE_PART_CURSOR would always apply to all cursors of the xy_pad it was used on as opposed to just the one intended (v6.1.0 regression)
  • Kontakt would crash when trying to load an instrument that had automation assigned to controls that were removed after the assignment (v6.1.0 regression that affected certain products by Big Fish Audio and 8Dio)
  • KSP: There were some unexpected behaviors around the use of nested panels and certain Z layer settings
  • KSP: The getters for $ENGINE_PAR_WT_FORM_MODE and $ENGINE_PAR_WT_QUALITY would always return 0
  • KSP: Info Pane text would not appear for ui_button controls
Improved:
  • Kontakt's new Auto-Apply feature (introduced in 6.1.0) now ignores changes in subfolders of the watched folders (anything deeper than scripts or performance_view)
  • KSP: All PGS-related coding mistakes are now Warnings instead of Errors, both in how they are shown in the Creator Tools Debugger, and in that processing doesn't stop

4.2.3 is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.7. Not that Native Instruments has had a couple of month with the developer previews of Lion. 4.2.4 is under development: http://www.native-instruments.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94387
