Visually, K5 and K6 are completely identical - the differences, though not numerous, lie under the hood. So is this update a game changer for existing Kontakt users? Does K6 look any different - bigger fonts, cosmetic changes, or a new colour scheme? Well, no. Perhaps this is the last whole‑number revision of Kontakt as we know it, to be eventually replaced by a completely reworked product under another name? This is not a rumour, just to be clear - it's merely my febrile imagination running wild. Whether this suggests that subsequent updates will be incremental (and free) or that there will be future payable tipping-points is not clear. Although it's punted as 'Kontakt 6' by Native Instruments, the VST refers to itself in the plug-in list simply as 'Kontakt', with no number to signify the version. We explore what's new in the latest version of NI's flagship sampler.Īfter a considerable wait and much speculation, version 6 has finally acceded to the Kontakt throne. Clicking on the A or B waveform graphics presents a drop-down list of over 100 waveforms to choose from. The Macro knobs control predetermined aspects of the sound depending on the currently selected snapshot, and are freely assignable to any MIDI controller.
