Sound Categories and Editing Tools

The library is organized into broad sound families: drones, acoustic, designed and synthetic drums, impacts, melodic and rhythmic loops, risers and downers, sound effects, sweeps, and several synth groups including arpeggiated, basic, bass, pad and polyphonic patches.

The Forge is designed so you can customize every sound. You can build your own samples into the instrument, and effects such as a resonant delay and a dual engine reverb give you control over the final tone. Unison and voice stacking add thickness to patches.

Workflow and Requirements

The Forge requires the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.1 or higher and about 5 GB of free disk space. Its advanced user interface and the arpeggiator, polyphonic sequencer and rhythmic gater make it practical for building cues and textures quickly.

It is a good fit for composers who need a broad palette of hybrid sounds, from cinematic risers and impacts to melodic loops and pads, in a single Kontakt instrument.
