We are thrilled to announce all of our Kontakt Instruments have been updated to version 1.5
With this update, it is now possible to add your own sounds easily via drag and drop sample import.
To make this work, you need to update your Kontakt version to at least version 6.3.2.
The Kontakt 5.6 versions are also still available and included.

Get your free update, login to your account and download the v1.5 updates. (the previous version is also still included in placed and new orders).

Exciting news, all of our Kontakt Instruments have been updated to support Drag & Drop Sample Import.
Previously you had to replace the custom included WAV files and reload the Kontakt Instruments.
No more!

The instruments have all been updated to version 1.5 and have a new “ADD SAMPLES” button.
This loads the backpanel of the instrument which allows you to easily drag a WAV / AIFF sample from the mediabay of your DAW, your MacOS Finder or your Windows Explorer on to the drop zone.

The updated versions require Kontakt 6.3.2 full edition or newer. The 1.0 versions are still available for those who have a version between 5.6 and 6.3.2.
In case you have used the earlier versions before, it is advised not to overwrite these as it might break your projects loading. Please use a new folder to store the 1.5 updates in and load them from there. The main feature upgrade in the 1.5 versions is the drag & drop sample import. If you plan on not using this you can keep using the old versions.

Login* to your account to download the updated version, which also still includes the Kontakt 5.6+ version without Drag & Drop sample import for those only having Kontakt 5.

<sup>* if you purchased your instruments without an account, so in the first months of 2020, please reach out for your download link with your emailaddress of purchase or ordernumber.
* All of your download counts have been reset</sup>

What’s new in v1.5

The main new feature is drag & drop sample import to load your own sounds.
In the 1.0 versions of the instruments, it was only possible to load own audio by exactly replacing the “custom” audio files.
At the time, it was the only possibility with Kontakt 5.
The instruments are now upgraded to support sample import via drag and drop in various layers per instrument type. In all instruments, the import process is the same. Some instruments have their own options and need-to-knows, as described in the included addendum manual.
