With the new release of Komplete 15, we are treated to yet another new update of Kontkat. This time around, Kontakt 8 is not just a reskin of previous versions. Now we have even more powerful ways to create and produce music. With a vastly improved GUI, new composing tools, flagship new instruments, dives and a whole host of improved user experience improvements, Kontakt 8 is certainly the best incarnation we have seen to date.
