KONTAKT 4 offers endless possibilities to really get inside your samples. You can easily edit, loop, slice and time-stretch your sounds and pitch shift them in real time or tempo-sync them with the powerful Wave Editor. Draw your own custom envelopes directly into the sample waveform to easily and precisely modulate any parameter, or use step sequencers and flex envelopes to tweak your samples. Refine your sound even further with any of the 19 versatile studio-quality effects such as the convolution effect for super-realistic reverbs, or use the powerful surround sound features for cinematic productions.

"I spent 11 months arranging and programming electronic textures and rhythmic elements for the score to 'Avatar'. Whether this was the delicacy of the woodsprites falling on Jake in the forest, or the impact needed for the flying and battle cues, KONTAKT 4 provided me with the ability to create and customize sounds in a way that no other sampler can approach. Kontakt was the core of my work on Avatar."



Simon Franglen, electronic music arranger for Avatar
