TEAM HCiSO | 22 May 2024 | 1.11 GB
KONTAKT 7 is everything from instant inspiration for music makers to the industry’s leading instrument-building tool. For the seventh generation of KONTAKT, we’re bringing its 20-year legacy into the future. Find sounds easily with a new resizable browser. Explore new musical ideas and find fresh inspiration with an overhauled Factory Library, newly added effects, and under-the-hood audio improvements.

KONTAKT is the Definitive Sampling Platform and Industry-Standard. KONTAKT powers the biggest selection of sampled instruments available. Included factory library puts 55+ GB of detailed, creative, and expressive instruments at your fingertips. Drag and drop your own samples into an instrument’s interface to use your own sounds. Build your own instruments with powerful sample-editing and instrument-building.

MORE THAN A SAMPLER
With KONTAKT 7, you can sound like a snare drum, a symphony orchestra, or anything in between, from a universe of sampled instruments. It’s a simple sampler when you want it to be, and a deep sonic scripting laboratory when you need something more. The next generation of the world’s favorite sampling platform gives you new instruments and new features under the hood – so you can layer, link, stretch, and shape your sounds any way you can imagine.

WHAT’S NEW?
Over two decades, KONTAKT has become a highly-developed engine for creating and playing sampled instruments. KONTAKT 7 offers more for players and builders alike:
• Introducing KONTAKT Play Series: Three new instruments for the KONTAKT library, offering pristine, contemporary sound in a creative and streamlined interface

Wavetable synthesis module: Build hybrid instruments for entirely new sounds.
• Modulate your sound with additional new effects taken from MOD PACK; Choral, Flair, and Phasis
• Drag and drop you own samples into instruments to use them with your own sounds and create one-of-a-kind results.
• Enhanced effects: Even more effects for your creations, for greater expression and realism.
• Creator Tools: New standalone application dedicated to improving the library creation and editing process.

THREE NEW INSTRUMENTS
KONTAKT 7 introduces the KONTAKT Play Series: New twists on sought-after sounds. Each places powerful, creative processing chains into a simple, intuitive interface. These hybrid instruments combine wavetable synthesis with creatively sampled content, allowing dynamic live blending and sound sculpting.

The instruments all feature eight carefully assigned macro controls, corresponding to the eight rotary encoders on our KOMPLETE KONTROL and MASCHINE hardware. These controls are mapped to numerous shared parameters behind the scenes, so you can change a sound dramatically with a single twist of a macro knob.

ANALOG DREAMS
A powerful instrument featuring legendary analog and digital synths of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.ETHEREAL EARTH
A rich hybrid instrument that takes live instrumentation from across the world and combines it with digital synthesis.HYBRID KEYS
A modern and creative twist on acoustic piano, classic electric piano, synth, and analog keys – ideal for all contemporary styles.

POWERING SAMPLED INSTRUMENTS
KONTAKT is a host for hundreds of highly realistic and detailed sampled instruments. And because it’s the most widely-used host platform, you’ve probably already heard KONTAKT – on chart-topping pop and club smashes, hit TV shows, and blockbuster movies.

As well as our own KONTAKT instruments, there are currently around 600 licensed instruments from other manufacturers that run in KONTAKT, plus thousands more so-called ‘indie’ instruments. This diverse ecosystem means that KONTAKT 7 is your access point to the industry’s biggest collection of playable sampled sound.

Thanks @HoMeCracKeR but I'm only seeing 7.10.2 release notes on NI's site. Also can you pls share Komplete Kontrol 3.2.1?

In this case, the release notes on the website have not yet been updated; you can see information about the update in Native Access.
Here is a screenshot of the Release Notes

I'll take a look at Komplete Kontrol

why are there updates every other day ?
  Member 6.09.2022 7 245

Because Native Instruments have made one update which was causing a lot of issues and now they're patching bugs with every new update.

Kontakt's codebase is extremely old. I think some NI employees said that it is almost 20 y/o at this point. The more code ages and the more stuff you keep adding to it (without addressing previous issues) means that chances of new bugs appearing increase.

They really should consider what they're going to do in the next 5-10 years, when physical modelling is going to become more mainstream. They used to make more synths and effects, but now have abandoned some of them, and mostly just update them and create preset packs. No innovations in that regard unfortunately.

NI became a giant in the audio sphere. Unfortunately as with any other niche, the bigger the company becomes the less risk they're willing to take. Less innovation.

And that, fundamentally, is why Francisco Partners made a mistake when deciding to buy NI along with other audio companies. They made their decision during the time when everyone was at home. Times change, so does society and the companies that function in that society.

Anyway, sorry for the long-winded post.

Plus many of their dev staff left, they downsized QA & Test and focussed on things like putting adverts in products and monetising the userbase at the expense of quality and fixing the sh*t

"Plus many of their dev staff left, they downsized QA & Test and focussed on things like putting adverts in products and monetising the userbase at the expense of quality and fixing the sh*t"

^ THIS is a very important part of it.

I have known people in and out of NI for 20 years, and staff purges and different reps and different owners, and different ideas of profitability have really created some problems.

According to those I know who do or have worked for them, or closely with them, it's a shitshow compared to what it was 10-12 years ago etc...
..grateful for HCiSO, HEXWARS, R2R, GUISEPPE , CASHMERE & ALL teams, AZ crew past and present, and friends I have met here . RIP and LOVE to Olymoon and his family. 8647.

hello
I have the regular version of KONTAKT, can we coexist?
I am hesitant to install it because someone said it was blacklisted by NATIVE ACCESS.
But I can only use these products with the cracked version, right? All of them are shown in demo mode.
Can someone please tell me what to do?

to the best of my knowledge, they cannot coexist. its best to just use this version if you plan to use unlicensed third party libraries.

Does not work here in Live. When loading into Live it says: "Kontakt 7 - This Audio Unit v2 plug-in could not be opened". Works fine tho as Standalone, but not in Live. Uninstalled previous version beforehand and installed 7.10.4 with internet turned off.

Am on macOS 11.7.6 (Big Sur) - Intel Core i5 - Live 12.0.2
Any suggestions ? Does it need Codesign ?

you should read more to know more. Get Ventura and see what happens.
  Member 6.04.2024 105

Why should I read more if this was an easy case to solve for someone having exactly same system as I have ? Looks like you have been reading alot Mr. Einstein, so why dont you come with suggestion instead of wasting your time with smartass comments ?
Besides, it says in release: Supported Operation System: macOS 11.0 or later. So why should I get Ventura to see what happens ? Give me a break.

The miracle didn't happen for me....I downloaded the Session Bassist Upright Bass library and used the application you're talking about to install the library and make it visible to Kontakt but unfortunately it didn't work. Lately only the official installers work (at least for me) but if I take an already unpacked library, I can't make it visible in Kontakt. I tried everything but I didn't get any useful results! Maybe you have the solution and I didn't know it... My work system consists of an Intel MacBookPro with Monterey operating system. Thank you....

Session Bassist Upright Bass works for Kontakt 7.9.0 and higher.
So if you´re running lower than 7.9.0, it wont show up.

The version of Kontakt that I installed is 7.10.1, so it should be ok... there's no SNPID number conflict so the problem could be something else. Sometimes there are some SNPID numbers that Kontakt doesn't like but it's very difficult to find a working one if that's the problem!

I am on Big Sur. Kontakt app opens correctly, but the plugin does not. Is there a solution?

On Big Sur 11.7.7 (Intel) works only as standalone. On Ableton and Reason vst3 doesn't open and auv2 doesn't open too.
And idea or solution? Same story with versions 7.9.0 etc

Crashes on Ventura. Both standalone and AU versions. I'll try the 7.10.2 version.
