KONTAKT
C O N N E C T T O S A M P L I N G
KONTAKT是由大名鼎鼎的NI公司所设计制造的以前从未有过的强大的采样器。KONTAKT以先进的采样内核引擎熔合一种革命性的设计思路。结果就是绝一无二的具备激动人心的速度和如此直观弹性的“魔鬼”。
除了支持所有常用的标准采样音色,超高软硬件处理能力外,KONTAKT还为新的采样范围设计了新的技术。实时“时间收缩”,再合成,图示波峰,互动LOOP编辑器,模拟合成块滤波器,虚拟即示调音,令人窒息的高效率采样器——将天才般的想法变成现实。外挂的采样库,包括多达3G的音色,几乎包括各种风格。

The Sampler
KONTAKT fuses an innovative design with
an advanced sampling engine. The result
is an inspiringly fast and intuitively flexible
sampler with exceptional sound quality. In
addition to supporting all the standard
sample playback and manipulation abilities
of its hardware and software predecessors,
KONTAKT adds several technologies to give
sampling a new dimension. KONTAKT
supports nearly every professional hard- and
software interface to fit seamlessly in every
studio.
Architecture and Performance
KONTAKT’s advanced design and dynamic
resource allocation ensure that its audio
engine is always running at optimal efficiency,
for up to 256 stereo voices per instance
on a standard computer. The semi-modular
architecture of KONTAKT’s audio engine
corresponds exactly to its on-screen layout.
Filters, effects, and modulations can easily
be added with one click. If an audio-process
is not active, it is neither displayed on the
screen nor calculated by the CPU.
Sound Playback and Shaping
KONTAKT can play back samples like a
normal sampler, but it also has two additional
modes of playback: Time-Machine and
Tone-Machine. The Time-Machine allows
for independent manipulation of length,
pitch, and formant of each sample in
realtime. The Tone-Machine imprints a
playable pitch onto the sample, regardless
of if the original sample is pitched. The
comprehensive filter section offers 14
varieties from analog lowpass and highpass
to exotic sound-design filters. A broad range
of insert and send effects, including EQs,
distortion, delays, and reverbs, become an
inherent parts of each instrument, even in
multitimbral operation.
Modulation
Even a noise sample in KONTAKT’s hands
is no static thing. Nearly all of KONTAKT’s
parameters can be dynamically modulated
by LFOs, breakpoint envelopes, stepsequencers,
or via MIDI velocity or controller.
All time-based modulation can be synced
to song tempo. Dynamic modulation means
that each parameter displays both its moving
current position and set position.
Efficient Workflow
KONTAKT’s elegant user interface takes
just seconds to learn, yet is exceptionally
flexible during the creative process. An
integrated file-browser supporting drag and
drop makes it quick to set up multisamples.
Samples can be trimmed and looped within
graphical loop-editor features seamless
looping with a sophisticated autocorrelation
algorithm and supports up to eight loops
per sample.
Sample Library
Five Sample-CDs with more than three GB
of top-quality samples are included, ranging
from acoustic pianos, drums and percussion,
basses and guitars, to vintage instruments.
The library, produced by YellowTools® and
Native Instruments, makes extensive use
of KONTAKT’s dynamic modulation abilities
for patches that are truly alive. KONTAKT
can also import AKAI CDs and many other
common formats for immediate access to
an immense library.
