Duets is a Kontakt instrument from Native Instruments that blends multi-sampled vocals with synths and keys. It includes 151 tweakable presets of vocals, leads, basses and pads for pop, hip hop and R&B production.
Duets is part of Native Instruments' Play Series, a line of instruments built around ready-to-play sounds and focused real-time controls. It combines multi-sampled vocal sounds with synth and keyboard textures, so producers can add vocal-style leads, pads and basses to a track. The instrument runs inside Kontakt and is aimed at producers making high-gloss pop, hip hop and R&B.
Duets layers multi-sampled vocals with synths and keys. Native Instruments describes the result as high-gloss sounds for pop, hip hop and R&B. The 151 presets cover four main types: vocals, leads, basses and pads.
The instrument is built to sit inside a track quickly. Its presets give you a starting point for melodies, harmonies and textured backgrounds, which you can then shape with the included controls.
Riffs and Runs are the main tools for building melodies and harmonies in Duets. They let you create expressive lines and lush chord-based parts without writing every note by hand.
The Play Series design keeps the interface simple, with real-time control over the sound. This makes it practical to tweak a preset while you play or record, instead of working through deep menus.
