If you own the full Kontakt 4 version, you can use the countless possibilities of this sophisticated sampler to tweak your sounds, gving you access to an almost infinite number of soundcreations for any music style imaginable. Tweaking of course is also possible with the included Kontakt Player, so don’t wait to give it a try!

Top features included are low pass filters, high pass, band pass, vowel and phaser filters. The user can choose between poly and mono mode as well as an authentic legato mode. A unison mode plus a global saturator make your sounds as fat and rich as possible. Via the mod wheel you can access useful parameter assignments for all patches like additional high pass filters, tremolo or vibrato giving this must have package a finishing touch.

Most patches use effects like Chorus, Flanger, Delay and Convolution Reverb. In the KONTAKT Player version you need to turn on the FX button to use this effects. In the full KONTAKT version, the effects can be edited or replaced with other effects you like.
