Version 4 sees little change to the software's core functionality compared to, say, the differences between versions 2 and 3.
Kontakt's impressive sample library has also matured in presentation and grown in size with each version, and this library, for many, must be amongst Kontakt's major selling points.
Each major Kontakt update so far has brought significant usability enhancements, improved stability and reliability, and new tools with which to manipulate and process samples. Kontakt, as I'm sure you all know by now, is Native Instruments' flagship software sampler, and, as the large number four above suggests, it has now reached its fourth version. Note the Dynamic keyswitches (blue) and the Standard keyswitches (pink) on the keyboard. Kontakt's rack view, showing the library browser (left) and an Orchestral instrument loaded. It's got a bigger sample library and some whizzy new features, but what Kontakt 4 really wants to do is make your life easier.
