Kontakt is Native Instruments' flagship software sampler and virtual instrument platform used by music producers, composers, and sound designers worldwide. It serves as a host for thousands of sample libraries—both from Native Instruments and third-party developers—and provides powerful tools for manipulating, layering, and synthesizing sounds. Kontakt is essential in modern music production across genres, from film scoring and electronic music to hip-hop and ambient composition. It functions as both a standalone application and a plugin (VST, AU, AAX) for use within digital audio workstations.
