Kontakt , on the other hand, is an engine, not a library. While it comes with a standard factory library, its true power lies in its open architecture. It is the platform upon which hundreds of developers build instruments. Kontakt offers a blank canvas. While it excels at realism, it often requires the user to mix within the instrument's interface (using built-in EQ, compression, and reverb) to achieve the "polished" sound that Keyscape delivers by default. Moving from Keyscape to Kontakt requires a shift in mindset from selecting a finished sound to sculpting a raw one.
Features dedicated Kontact UI knobs for tweaking release times, reverb, and tone.
