Update of the popular sampler. Contact allows you to play back and process previously recorded audio data – samples of musical instruments, sound effects, vocal tracks, etc. – but this is only a small part of the full range of its capabilities. In VKontakte you can use ready-made instruments from a huge number of libraries from third-party developers or create your own virtual instruments, apply powerful built-in processing modules to their audio signals, and build complex performance schemes with various modulation connections. Everything is possible – from ultra-precise recreation of real instruments to the creation of original, unlike anything else instruments.
✔️ Additional functionality:
1. Activation of protected libraries is not required, the ability to register (adding to bookmarks) in batch mode.
2. Ability to edit patches of protected libraries.
3. Possibility of resaving with samples of patches of protected libraries.
4. Ability to edit blocked scripts.
✔️ Features of the portable (PORTABLE) version:
- Installation, including additional software (Service Center, Native Access, MS VS C++ runtime), is not required.
- All settings are saved in a portable program folder (the Windows registry and other system storage are not used, administrator rights are not required*).
- The Library Manager has been integrated, providing full control over protected libraries, as well as allowing you to register unprotected (homemade) libraries without generating nicnt files.
- The ability to simultaneously work with the installed version of Contact without conflicts and with different settings.
✔️ Notes:
Kontakt PORTABLE is not compatible with the NKS (Native Kontrol Standard):
1. Instruments from NKS-compatible libraries added to Kontakt PORTABLE will not appear on the screen of the NKS hardware device (Komplete Kontrol or Maschine). Accordingly, they cannot be selected, previewed and downloaded directly from the device’s browser, but only through the interface of the Contact itself.
2. The controls of an NKS-compatible library instrument loaded into Kontakt PORTABLE are not automatically linked to the controllers of the NKS device, only manually in the standard way for external MIDI devices (MIDI Learn).
✔️ How to install Kontakt 7 PORTABLE:
