Manufacturer's Description for Native Instruments Kore 2 Software Edition

The Kore 2 Software Edition delivers the full feature range of Kore 2 in the form of a software solution without the Kore 2 hardware controller. This powerful software instrument and multi-effects unit provides a versatile library of 500 production-ready sounds based on six integrated high-quality sound engines. With the ultra-fast Kore Sound Browser, internal effects, sound morphing and other advanced features, you can find, play, combine, and create sounds with unprecedented efficiency and ease. Additionally, Kore 2 is infinitely expandable with the Kore Soundpacks, Komplete 5 or any other Audio Unit/VST-plug-in.

Features
Software instrument and multi-effect with over 500 KORE SOUNDS(R) and 3,000 sound variations

Integrated REAKTOR, MASSIVE, ABSYNTH, FM8, KONTAKT and GUITAR RIG sound engines

Up to 8 sound variations per KORE SOUND with multi-dimensional morphing

Over 30 studio-grade effects ranging from classic to cutting-edge sound processors

Batch preset import of 3rd-party instruments and effects

KORE SOUND Browser finds sounds, plug-ins and effects presets according to musical attributes

Intuitive drag-and-drop user interface, powerful layering possibilities and highly flexible audio and MIDI routing

Built-in MIDI file player, arpeggiator and step sequencer with real-time control

Expandable with KOMPLETE 5, KORE SOUNDPACKS and Audio Units(TM) or VST(R) plug-ins

Full integration with optional KORE 2 controller* for analog-style sound control and remote software navigation

Powerhouse Sound Engine and Library
The Kore 2 workstation combines the Reaktor, Massive, FM8, Absynth, Kontakt and Guitar Rig sound engines to create nearly any type of synthesis, sampling and effects sound. The library produces everything from highly expressive acoustic instrument sounds, dynamic amp modeling and effects to a full scope of analog, digital and hybrid electronic sounds.

Fast and easy access to sounds
Get immediate access to any sound you can imagine: Simply choose a musical characteristic or use the full text search function - the greatly expanded Kore SOUND Browser displays all relevant results and plug-ins. All NI sounds have already been catalogued and third-party plug-in presets can be fully imported and categorized by the user.

Create new sounds in the Sound Matrix
Within the intuitive sound matrix, KoreSounds, plug-ins, effects, MIDI files, step sequencers and arpeggiators are all easily combinable by drag and drop. The matrix makes for a uniquely creative and intuitive workflow.

Stage-Ready: Performance Presets & Sound Mapping
Kore 2 is not only the perfect production tool for the studio, but also the Super Instrument for the stage: Thanks to the sophisticated keyboard layer and split functions and the Performance Preset Manager, you can perform complete shows and seamlessly switch between different sounds and setups - manually or via MIDI Program Change - immediately or on a certain beat or bar!

Get additional sounds with Kore Soundpacks
Kore 2 grows with your needs and is infinitely expandable with new sounds thanks to the great-value Kore Soundpacks. There are already twelve Kore Soundpacks available. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Native Instruments products.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Can't go wrong, great product."

Sound: The sounds that come with this product along with the additional sound packs you can purchase are exceptional. Works well as a RTAS plug in with Pro-Tools M-Powered. Feature: This product has full workstation capabilities. Create separate channels for each sound and then split your midi keyboard and layer additional sounds in each channel. The step sequencer and arpeggiator are a nice feature. You can save all the performance settings so that they can be recalled later. Ease of Use: It's very intuitive and easy to use. The video tutorials on the Native Instruments website are worth watching. I was able to get it up and running and start using it without cracking the manual. Quality: I was not impressed with the Electronic Experience installation but this product installed without a hitch and the quality of the features and sound are impressive. Value: I do not know of anything to compare with this product, but I would say for the price the features and content and quality of the sounds are well worth the money. Manufacturer Support: Have not had to use it with this product but not real impressed when I did deal directly with NI on a problem with Electronic Experience, but have to say that the User Forums make up for that deficiency. The Wow Factor: Sex appeal? it's a program for gosh sakes, but it does have a level of genius associated with it and makes creating music a whole lot more fun. It adds some serious sonic depth and character to the sound of any composition. Overall: I expect to be using this product for quite some time to come. In fact when I started down the path of creating a home studio I kind of wish I had started with NI plug-ins to start with I ended up getting quite a few of them and they have become the main tool of choice. I would have saved myself quite a bit of money. Make sure you have a PC with plenty of memory and processing power.

Style of Music: Rock, Alternative, Jazz, Electronic
