![]() I'm quite dissapointed - Kore things wanted activation, it was annoying, but it worked in the end. after 30mins the Kontakt Selection (reportedly free download) just ends the Demo period and I can't use it anymore. But I think the Kontakt Player still very much deserves to be called a "free" instrument because it has a pretty nice free 600 MB library to start out with. We cannot really make Kontakt Player a full-on player for any Kontakt-format library, because that would defeat the whole licensing model that we offer to instrument developers. Using these libraries fully is still reserved to the full Kontakt 3 version. So yes, the Kontakt Player offers full-featured playback only for Kontakt Player libraries and for the new "Kontakt-Powered" instruments, while plain Kontakt libraries only run in a 30 minute demo session. I have to agree that the info on our Kontakt Player page regarding third-party libraries was unclear and potentially misleading, sorry about that! We have just changed the wording to make the whole thing more clear. It just seemed a bit too good to be true (like for example if you have Kontakt 3 Player why would you want Kore Player?). It's late here though so I might have missed something important. I have lots of samples in kontakt format that I've been forced to convert to soundfonts, but now it seems I can use them the way they're meant to sound. And yes I realize this is Kontakt *player*, not Kontakt the sampler but nontheless, this is an awesome free release. Are we looking at a free version of Kontakt player or is there some showstopper I'm missing here?Įdit 2: Wow, from what I can tell there are no limitations, this is a fully working multi-out version. ![]() ![]() still, some of the info was in German so I didn't quite get it. Looks like a good offer, but a big download.Įdit: downloading it now at 1.4MB/s so big download is no problem. Load up Serum and we think you’ll be able to notice both what you hear (solid high frequencies, extending flat all the way up to the limits of hearing) as well as what you don’t hear (no unwanted mud or aliasing gibberish- just good, clean sound).Native Instruments is offering a free Kontakt 3.5 and Kore player along with free 50 instument sound libraries! In Serum, the native-mode (default) playback of oscillators operates with an ultra high-precision resampling, yielding an astonishingly inaudible signal-to-noise (for instance, -150 dB on a sawtooth played at 1 Khz at 44100)! This requires a lot of calculations, so Serum’s oscillator playback has been aggressively optimized using SSE2 instructions to allow for this high-quality playback without taxing your CPU any more than the typical (decent quality) soft synth already does. ![]() Many popular wavetable synthesizers are astonishingly bad at suppressing artifacts - even on a high-quality setting some create artifacts as high as -36 dB to -60 dB (level difference between fundamental on artifacts) which is well audible, and furthermore often dampening the highest wanted audible frequencies in the process, to try and suppress this unwanted sound. Artifacts mean that you are (perhaps unknowingly) crowding your mix with unwanted tones / frequencies. Without considerable care and a whole lot of number crunching, this process will create audible artifacts. Playback of wavetables requires digital resampling to play different frequencies.
