Kontakt is a software sampler developed by Native Instruments. It allows users to load and play back samples in various formats and manipulate them with built-in effects, filters, and envelopes. Kontakt also features advanced scripting capabilities, allowing for the creation of highly expressive and dynamic virtual instruments.
There are two main versions of Kontakt: Kontakt Player and the full retail version of Kontakt.
Kontakt Player is a free, limited version of the software that can be used to play back instruments made specifically for the Kontakt Player format. These instruments, known as "Kontakt Libraries," are created by third-party developers and are often sold commercially. Kontakt Player includes a selection of built-in instruments and effects, but many of the advanced features found in the retail version of Kontakt are not available.
On the other hand, the full retail version of Kontakt includes all of the features and capabilities of the software and can be used to create and play back both Kontakt Libraries and custom samples. The retail version of Kontakt also includes a library of built-in instruments, effects, and samples.
In summary, the main difference between Kontakt Player and the full retail version of Kontakt is the level of functionality and the types of instruments that can be played back. Kontakt Player is limited in terms of its features and is only compatible with Kontakt Libraries, while the retail version of Kontakt is a full-featured software sampler that can be used to play back a wide variety of sample-based instruments.
Please note: all Karanyi Sounds' Kontakt products require the full retail version of Kontakt.
