Kontakt Player

Kontakt Player is a free application that runs all KONTAKT instruments as well as a significant variety of third-party instruments. Kontakt Player and the KONTAKT app can be utilized as standalone instruments or as plug-ins (VST/AU/AAX) in your preferred host sequencer or DAW. 

KONTAKT is the driving force behind a diverse collection of sampled instruments. KONTAKT instruments may be heard on many radio stations, stages, soundtracks, and dancefloors, thanks to the exquisite detail of the SYMPHONY SERIES and the ultra-realistic playability of SESSION GUITARIST - ELECTRIC SUNBURST, as well as the groundbreaking sound design of TRILL.

Only third-party instruments designed exclusively for the app can be loaded. Instruments that are not designed for Kontakt Player require the full version of KONTAKT to function but can be used in demo mode for 15 minutes at a time with no opportunity to save your progress. 

KONTAKT also hosts hundreds of highly accurate and comprehensive sampled instruments from different manufacturers. With this broad environment, KONTAKT provides access to the industry's largest collection of playable sampled sounds.
