Native Instruments has announced an update to the Kontakt 6 industry-standard sampling platform for Windows and Mac.
Kontakt 6.4 includes new dynamic effects, a new main effects module, and lots more.
We’ve added the SUPERCHARGER GT compressor and a new transparent limiter to the effects selection. Two great effects for either adding hot, tonal compression or super-clean dynamic control.
There’s also a new Main FX bus which makes signal routing even more flexible: It has eight slots for inserting effects at the last step of the signal chain – after the Send FX and just before the instrument output.
