Native Instruments announces four new KORE SOUNDPACKS
Berlin, January 17th, 2008 - Native Instruments today announced an upcoming expansion of its recently established KORE SOUNDPACK line, with four
additional high-quality libraries scheduled for release in March.
The new
sound packs will offer a wide selection of inspiring, production-ready sound
material for various musical applications and styles, ranging from
state-of-the-art synthesizer sounds to highly authentic horns and versatile
acoustic drums, all specifically optimized for use in KORE 2 and in the
upcoming free KORE PLAYER.
Based on the powerful KORE SOUND format, the KORE SOUNDPACK libraries make
full use of the advanced capabilities of KORE 2, the innovative host system
and designated "super instrument" from Native Instruments. By utilizing its
multiple integrated synthesis and sampling engines, innovative sound
morphing, convenient preset categorization, powerful internal effects and
more, KORE SOUNDPACKS effectively take the concept of sound libraries to the
next level.
Complementing the four KORE SOUNDPACKS already available, the upcoming new
libraries include "MASSIVE Expansion Vol. 1", which contains 200
production-ready leads, basses and pad sounds based on the powerful MASSIVE
wavetable engine; "Best of ABSYNTH" with 200 outstanding soundscapes, pads
and keyboard sounds from the library of Native Instruments' acclaimed
semi-modular synthesizer; "Pop Drums", featuring studio-grade acoustic drum
kits specifically engineered for pop productions, and equipped with an
extensive collection of MIDI grooves; and "KONTAKT Sax & Brass", a library
of highly sophisticated trumpet, saxophone and trombone instruments,
recorded by renowned sampling specialist Chris Hein and designed for Jazz,
Funk and R'n'B styles.
Thanks to the upcoming free KORE PLAYER software with its basic playback and
sound management features, all KORE SOUNDPACKS are effectively "ready to
play", for immediate use in any host sequencer or as self-contained
standalone instruments. For more demanding musicians and producers, the KORE
2 system opens up additional KORE SOUND functionality with its advanced
sound editing and hardware control features. The "MASSIVE Expansion Vol. 1"
can also be used with the individual MASSIVE synthesizer, while "Pop Drums"
includes additional versions of the kits for use in the KONTAKT 3 and
BATTERY 3 samplers.
Native Instruments is determined to establish the KORE SOUNDPACKS line as
the most valuable, diverse and inspiring range of sound material for studio
and stage, and is aiming to release over a dozen additional KORE SOUNDPACKS
over the course of 2008.
The new KORE SOUNDPACKS will be available for download purchase on the NI
website beginning March 2008 for a price of $59 / EUR 49, with "Pop Drums"
being priced at $79 / EUR 69.
