Native Instruments release free Kore Player with 300MB sample set


This actually came out a few days back, but this blog didn't exist then, so my excuse is relatively sound! :)

According to the NI website, "KORE PLAYER brings world-class Native Instruments sound within the reach of any musician or producer". Lovely. As well as the 300MB sound library that comes with the download, it can load and play Kore Soundpacks which are available separately (although you have to pay for those ones!)

I've not really jumped on the Kore bandwagon, but there are some nice sounds in there, and the price is right! When you consider that you're getting the sound engines from Kontakt, Reaktor, Massive, Guitar Rig, FM8, and Absynth (albeit not directly accessible - you can tweak some parameters from the Kore interface though) it's definitely worth a download if you have the bandwidth. It runs as a VST, AU, or RTAS (Pro Tools 7) on either Mac universal binary or Windows.
