Native Instruments releases KONTAKT 2.2 including Universal Binary support

Native Instruments today released KONTAKT 2.2, an update for its acclaimed
flagship sampler. The new version brings a wide range of functional
enhancements and optimizations, ranging from improved loop handling and
group management to extended KSP and Universal Import functionality, as well
as compatibility with Intel-based Macintosh computers.

Handling of sliced loops in KONTAKT 2.2 is now more flexible and convenient
due to new drag-and-drop and in-sync preview functionality. Group management
has also been improved with a load/save function, 128-voice groups and new
group presets.

The KSP engine now offers additional functions that allow for an even wider
range of creative scripting usage, while new modulation, tuning and envelope
features expand the unrivalled sound shaping capabilities of KONTAKT 2.

The powerful Universal Import function in version 2.2 now supports five
additional formats, which underscores the role of KONTAKT 2 as the most
compatible sampler on the market.

The 2.2 update for Windows and Mac is now available as a free download for
all registered users of KONTAKT 2 on the NI website.

For installation on a Intel-based Macintosh computer, a Universal Binary
license code can be purchased for $ 29 / 25 Euro in the NI Online Shop.
Customers who first registered KONTAKT 2 after September 12th, 2006, are
eligible for a free Universal Binary license code.
