Update of the popular sampler. Contact allows you to play and process previously recorded audio data – samples of musical instruments, sound effects, vocal tracks, etc. – but this is only a small part of the full range of its capabilities. In Vkontakte, you can use ready-made instruments from a huge number of libraries from third-party developers or create your own virtual instruments, apply powerful built-in processing modules to their audio signals, build complex performance schemes with various modulation links. Everything is possible – from the ultra-accurate recreation of real instruments to the creation of original instruments that are unlike anything else.

KONTAKT ENGINE IMPROVEMENTS
ADDED Purge all instances when Kontakt 7 is running as a plug-in
ADDED 6 pole state variable (SV) filters
ADDED Tone Machine and Time Machine 1 Smooth parameter modulation
ADDED Reveal sample location via Mapping Editor edit menu and Wave Editor command menu (cog)

ADDED Zone state can now be determined with get_zone_status() command which returns $NI_ZONE_STATUS_EMPTY, $NI_ZONE_STATUS_LOADED, $NI_ZONE_STATUS_PURGED , $NI_ZONE_STATUS_IGNORED and deprecates the usage of is_zone_empty()
IMPROVED From Script modulator can now have its value set without internal range clamping by using $EVENT_PAR_MOD_VALUE_EX_ID
