Kontakt 4 Library - Good?

JJV · 11-06-2010 11:30AM #1

Native Instruments are running a summer promotion where you can upgrade to Kontakt 4 if you already have a plug in that uses their engine for €125. (I have Garritan Personal Orchestra which qualifies.)

My question is, the library that comes with it is 43GB - Is it any good? I'm especially interested in the orchestral & choir libraries. But would welcome any comments from owners.

Thanks

At that price the library is totally worth it. There's a cello ensemble patch in there that is magical. But all in all, it would definitely be an improvement on Garritan Personal. You'll get more expression, more bite.

The strings are from the Vienna Symphonnic Library and are really fantastic. For that price it is a steal. I'm not as versed in orcestration as you are JJ but to my ears they sound really nice with enough articulations and expression to get the job done.
