Description : Native Instruments – Kontakt 8
A powerful platform for virtual instruments and sampling.
Kontakt 8 features a revamped engine, thousands of compatible libraries, and new tools for generating and processing sound. Included are Leap (loop manipulation), Chords & Phrases (fast harmonies and riffs), Patterns (sequencer and arpeggiator), and Conflux, a hybrid synth with wavetables and modulation.
Compatible with Kontakt Player and libraries from NI and third-party developers. The updated Factory Library includes acoustic, electronic and orchestral sounds.
Used in hits, film and TV, compatible with any DAW and integrated with Native Instruments hardware, Kontakt is the center of the Komplete audio ecosystem.
Additional information :
Chords and Phrases work in this version.
The distribution contains all the main ways to add libraries to Kontakt 8: Add Library V4, NICNT Creator 2.0.1, NI Creator Tools.
The functionality has been tested on MacBook Air M1, MacBook Pro M4, Sequoia 15.5. Add Library V4 is enough for most libraries, and NICNT Creator is enough to create .nicnt.
In rare cases, you may need to try other utilities from the kit.
Installation:
nothing is required, just install.
Amazing! Been hoping for this for a while. Fingers crossed it works – thank you!
I have all my library on version 7, but on version 8 it says “library not found.” If someone can help me, I would be very grateful. (i have tried install with the installer in this crack and also with kontakt 5)
Got it to work on my mac. If you need help with installations dm me on instagram, i do remote installations @pluginxvst.

Strange. It looks like all my libraries carried over to this version. Have you tried adding the libraries with the “add library tool” that is included? That might be kind of a pain if you have a lot of libraries but I know it took me a while to figure out there was a separate tool for adding the libraries.
