NI ships KONTAKT Retro Machines library

Native Instruments has released a new addition to its line of Soundpack libraries for KORE 2 and KORE Player, KONTAKT Retro Machines. The library emulates a number of classic electronic instruments invented in the 1970s and '80s, used in genres such as electro and hip-hop; five digital synths, 11 analog synths and six drum machines are reproduced, across 135 KoreSounds. Each instrument sound also has eight variations, such as pad, percussive and arpeggiated sounds.

Some instruments in the pack include Moogs, and Roland's staple TR 808 and 909. To help achieve authenticity, NI says it has incorporated special performance controls such as variable glide, polyphonic portamento and a pure tuning mode. The KONTAKT Retro Machines pack can be downloaded through Native Instruments' online shop for $60.
