Kore Player 2.0.4

Kore Player 2.0.4 is a free yet powerful software instrument with a production-ready 300MB sound library. Built on KORE 2, the Next-Generation Workstation, KORE PLAYER includes six Native Instruments sound engines under the hood and provides ready-to-play sounds that can be browsed and tweaked via the intuitive KORE PLAYER interface. Adding new sounds is as easy as purchasing and downloading affordable KORE SOUNDPACKS.

Kore Player brings world-class Native Instruments sound within your reach and can be used both as a stand-alone application or within any sequencer/DAW host as a VST®, Audio Units™ or RTAS® plug-in.
The Kore Player boasts KORE's trademark powerful browser, which makes finding the right NI KoreSound incredibly fast and intuitive: Simply select the desired musical characteristics or instrument type, e.g. "analog" and "bass", or use the full text search, and start playing.

For those who don't know, KoreSounds are an advanced sound preset technology developed by Native Instruments. The KoreSound format allows KORE PLAYER patches to use multiple synthesis methods and sampling, and to be saved with metadata and controller settings.

Kore Player takes the science out of editing and tweaking sounds. One easy-to-understand and unified interface for the six integrated sound engines gives you intuitive access to all important sound parameters via eight knobs and eight buttons - all of which can be automated and recalled direct from your host sequencer. What's more, every KoreSound sports up to eight sound variations and allows smooth morphing between these individual settings to create lively and dynamic sounds in seconds!

Kore Player is the advanced sound module that grows with your needs: Choose an additional Kore Soundpack, download it within seconds, and start making music right away with some of the finest sounds Native Instruments has ever made. And the range is growing every month!
