Rapid Response
KONTOUR is the latest synthesizer from NI founder Stephan Schmitt – an ultra-responsive synth that reacts to even the slightest parameter adjustments. This instrument allows you to create stunningly organic textures, from mallets to plucked and bowed strings to distorted, aggressive, and noisy sounds – a true performance machine.
Motion Recorder
The Performance View condenses all KONTOUR’s power into four Macro controls for easy, on-the-fly sound manipulation. Each Macro is mapped to several parameters for radical tweaking. Use the Motion Recorder to automate custom modulations, timbre transitions, or long, evolving soundscapes.
Advanced Design
KONTOUR gives sound designers the keys to a sonic kingdom. The core of the engine consists of two sine oscillators with powerful phase modulation capabilities, extensive wave-shaping options, and ring modulation. A precise, tunable comb filter, a flexible state variable filter, and an elaborate feedback routing form a resonating structure that delivers complex harmonic textures.
Created by Stephan Schmitt
KONTOUR was conceived and created by Stephan Schmitt – Founder and Director of Nonlinear Labs, founder of Native Instruments, and the creator of REAKTOR. This instrument represents the next step in his quest for an expressively playable, organic-sounding digital synthesizer.
