At the heart of Kontakt 3.5 is a new sample engine with capabilities for sophisticated orchestral scoring and similar complex projects. On the Mac, Kontakt 3.5 introduces the new "Kontakt Memory Server," which can make use of up to 32GB of RAM on Mac OS X 10.4 and beyond.
Kontakt 3.5 also uses a new "zero-memory" DFD technology for disc streaming with a reduced memory footprint. Multiprocessor support now enables additional performance benefits on modern multi-core and multiprocessor setups.
To better accommodate its arsenal of third-party instrument content, the new Kontakt version displays all installed libraries and Kontakt Player instruments in a virtual rack. Further enhancements in version 3.5 include direct MIDI learn for sound parameter controls, improved automapping, individual bypass for effect slots, optimized Pro Tools compatibility on Mac OS X 10.5, KSP aftertouch interpretation, and a localized info pane in six languages.
For new users Kontakt 3.5 costs US$449.
