To begin, Eli provides an overview of the new default interface view of Kontakt 8, including the new tools and other main elements. He also shows you how you can use the new Side Pane feature to search, browse, load/save presets, and more, which is incredibly convenient. Eli then demonstrates the new integrated functionality of the browser, which unifies your entire Kontakt library into one searchable location.

Next, you'll explore the new Chords tools, which allow you to play chords on a Kontakt instrument by pressing a single key, and see how Eli uses them to generate and modify chords behind an acappella vocal. Then see the new Phases tool in action, which, similarly to the Chords tool, allows the triggering of phases with a single key. Eli continues by demonstrating how to combine both tools to create parts and generate new ideas.

There's much more to come, including Leap (for manipulating loops in countless creative ways), combined presets and multi-instruments, Classic View (managing MIDI controls, transposing instruments, velocity range values, etc.), Conflux (a new hybrid wavetable/sample layering instrument), working with loops (bringing in several at different tempos and making them play at the project tempo while treating each to different filter and output settings), the Options menu (various settings and preferences), and more! Eli even shows you how to design a pluck sound, making use of many of the new tools and features.
