The virtual instrument platform reinvented. Imagine any sound – Kontakt lets you find it, create it, and transform it. The latest edition of our revolutionary sampling platform combines a brand-new set of intelligent tools with countless sound design options, redefining how you generate ideas and make music.

A huge choice of sound
Kontakt hosts the world’s largest range of virtual instruments. With thousands of libraries, it's the gateway to quality sound from Native Instruments, our official partners, and scores of indie developers. Plus, everything is completely tweakable, so you can make any sound your own.

What’s new in Kontakt 8?
Our most feature-packed release yet is here to transform the way you generate, modulate, and playback sound. Plus, it’s packed with performance updates so you can work faster than ever.

Smash writer’s block
Tools add a completely new layer of creative features to get the ideas flowing. And they work with any Kontakt instrument, old and new. For our first drop, we’re launching MIDI content and randomization features with Chords and Phrases, designed to spark new ideas and get you in the zone fast.

Fast and fun loop control
Leap is an ultra-fast and playful way to play and manipulate loops. Spark fresh ideas, sprinkle in expressive performance effects, or just jam. Breathe new life into your sample collection or try something totally fresh with our new Leap Expansions series, starting with 12 curated packs for specific genres and styles.

Sound like nothing else
Conflux is the first in a new breed of Kontakt instruments for experimental sound design. Layer organic and synthetic samples and add dynamic movement to static sounds in real time, with original PPG wavetables and techniques like FM, Phase Modulation, and Ring Modulation.

Get going with hundreds of included instruments
Kontakt’s Factory Library comes packed with over hundreds of meticulously sampled instruments. Get started with a huge playable and tweakable selection of acoustic and electronic options, including the renowned collection from Orchestral Tools, plus Hybrid Keys.

Dream it, build it
All your favorite Kontakt instruments are built right here. The powerful feature set makes Kontakt the first choice for instrument developers worldwide, and it just got even bigger with enhanced synth capabilities, including real-time wavetable, frequency modulation, and ring modulation oscillators.

Does anyone else have a problem where certain libraries dont show up on the main view page? But they do show up in the classic view? Thats really the only issue ive had with the last couple versions.

Hey jstn, if you want to correct that issue with libraries not appearing on the "main view page", go to the circular wrench type icon on the lower left corner of the Kontakt gui. If you hover over the correct icon I'm referring to it should give you a small toast that says "Import Content". If you click on that icon you'll get a popup window that explains how to fix what you're experiencing. Good luck and let me know if it worked.

Can i just download this, install it and it will work? I've never used a portable version before. Or do i need to download kontakt 8 first then install this?

You can choose to install it or just place the extracted folder in your VST3 folder.

Hi, can someone help me with this portable version. Up until Kontakt Portable 6 never had any problems adding any library but since version 7 and now version 8 it show it in the manager, but not in the player, especially those that aren't installed and don't have a nicnt file only nks files.
