What Is Kontakt and Why Do I Need It?
Updated over a month ago

Kontakt is a sampler by Native Instruments. It allows users to create digital instruments by using prerecorded audio inside your DAW as an Instrument Plug-In.

At Output, we create instruments within Kontakt's framework, so in order to use our instruments, you'll need Kontakt 5.8.1 or newer to run them.
