Native Instruments Kontakt VSTi RTAS v3.5

Now in its third incarnation, KONTAKT 3.5 builds on its reputation as the industry standard for professional sampling. The outstanding audio engine and state of-the-art modular architecture provide unlimited sonic potential for your music. Universal file import ensures global compatibility. A huge sound collection connects you to a multitude of instruments, and the reworked interface makes playing and tweaking them effortless. KONTAKT 3 is the premiere sampler for artists and producers from across the musical spectrum.

KONTAKT 3.5 features full support for 64-bit memory addressing in Windows. This means you can load more than 4 GB samples into RAM in both stand-alone and plug-in mode. In Windows, 64-bit operating systems and sequencers with special stand-alone and VST versions are now supported.

KONTAKT 3.5 features a completely re-designed sample playback engine. The Direct From Disk mode has been reworked to act dynamically, allowing the operating system to allocate memory in real time as you play and release voices. The result is a significantly smaller memory footprint which leaves more RAM for loading samples. This is especially useful with 32-bit systems where you can now load significantly more samples than was previously possible.

KONTAKT 3.5 now provides true multi-processor / multi-core support. You can now switch multi -processor support on and off and set the number of processors / cores you want to use for KONTAKT. Up to 16 cores are now supported.

KONTAKT 3.5 now features MIDI Learn function for all sliders and knobs including Performance Views. Assigning MIDI controllers to KONTAKT sliders and knobs is quick and convenient with multiple assignments also possible.

KONTAKT 3.5 integrates a visually enhanced library tab that now makes browsing and loading samples and libraries quicker and easier.
