Description: Updating the popular sampler. Contact allows you to play and process previously recorded audio data – samples of musical instruments, sound effects, vocal tracks, etc. – but this is only a small part of its full spectrum of capabilities. In VKontakte, you can use ready-made instruments from a huge number of libraries from third-party developers or create your own virtual instruments, apply powerful built-in processing modules to their audio signals, and build complex performance schemes with various modulation connections. Anything is possible – from ultra-precise recreation of real instruments to the creation of original, unlike anything else.
The main innovation of the sixth version of Contact is the table-wave engine, which allows new hybrid instruments, combining synthesis with sampling, to create unique sound textures.
Additional functionality:
1. No activation of protected libraries is required, the ability to register (add to bookmarks) in batch mode.
2. Ability to edit patches of protected libraries.
3. Ability to resave with samples of patches from protected libraries.
4. Ability to edit password-protected scripts.
Features of the PORTABLE version:
0. Does not integrate into NI Maschine and Komplete Kontrol!
1. Installation, including additional software (Service Center, Native Access, MS VS C ++ runtime), is not required.
2. All settings are saved in the portable program folder (Windows registry and other system storages are not used, administrator rights are not required *).
3. Integrated Library Manager, which provides full control over protected libraries, as well as allows registering unprotected (homemade) libraries without generating nicnt files.
4. Ability to work simultaneously with the installed version of the Contact without conflicts and with different settings.
Notes:
* (Super) administrator rights are required if the program folder is placed in a protected system storage (for example, in Program Files) – such a location for portable programs is unnatural and is not recommended
