Get to know them!

KORE will change the way you produce and perform. As the world's first Universal Sound Platform, it integrates all your software instruments and effects into a single, unified interface. KORE gives you total control of your sound and instant, hands-on access with a real analog feel. KORE's groundbreaking fusion of software and hardware makes using instruments and effects easier than ever before, allowing you to spend more time concentrating on your music.

Native Instruments KORE at a Glance:
  • Find sounds in an instant
  • Layers and splits offer new potential
  • The ideal companion to KOMPLETE
  • KORE is a plug-in, and KORE is a host
  • Hardware controller gives you hands-on access to your sounds
  • Advanced live performance features

Find sounds in an instant
KORE introduces KoreSound, a universal sound format that shifts the focus from individual instruments toward the sound itself. This new format allows you to manage all the presets for all your VST and AU software instruments. These are then categorized in the powerful database according to specific musical attributes, making them far easier and quicker to find, recall and use at a future date.

Layers and splits offer new potential
The KoreSounds themselves can consist of single instruments or complex sounds created using multiple instruments and effects. The format also stores additional information regarding keyboard splits, layers, individual controller assignments, output routings and more. The KoreSound format offers a further benefit: KoreSounds can be easily transferred between any sequencer and system, and between studio and stage, making set-up hassles a thing of the past.

The ideal companion to KOMPLETE
Every single preset included with all the NI instruments, more than 10.000 in total, have been pre-configured and categorized with a variety of musical attributes and individual controller assignments, making the combination of KORE and NI KOMPLETE outstandingly powerful. Just search the database for an instrument type, keyword, timbre, style or mood and you will be playing and tweaking the desired sound within seconds.

KORE is a plug-in, and KORE is a host
Within a sequencer-based studio environment, KORE acts both as an audio host and as a plug-in. In its role as host, KORE unites all your NI and third party VST and AU instruments and effects into a single interface. It is then itself loaded into your sequencer as a VST, AU or RTAS plug-in, giving you a standard user interface, powerful database and instant, hands-on access to all your instruments and effects.

Hardware controller gives you hands-on access to your sounds
KORE combines software and hardware to form a single, integrated system. Gone are the days of complicated and often not entirely compatible combinations of MIDI controllers and sequencers or live set-ups. The KORE controller delivers manual control for all your Audio Unit and VST plug-ins. Use the KORE hardware to adjust all automatable parameters and benefit from a real analog feel. The result: KORE turns your software instruments into hardware units! Advanced features, such as the touch-sensitive knobs, high-resolution protocol, bi-directional communication, audio and MIDI interface, and context-specific display all contribute to placing this controller in a league of its own.

Advanced live performance features
KORE also marks the introduction of an extremely versatile and capable performance platform with a wealth of advanced live features that finally allow software instruments to truly come of age within a live situation. Sophisticated layer and split configurations based on any combination of instruments and effects can be created and recalled easily. A powerful Performance Manager allows for seamless, on-the-fly transitions between different scenes and sound sets - either manually, pre-programmed or remote-controlled. The combination of these features with the high-resolution, interactive controller deliver a dynamic experience and let you to stay focused on your performance.

Native Instruments KORE Features:
  • Operate all your software instruments with just one interface
  • Always be able to find just the sound you're looking for
  • Touch your software instruments like you can your hardware
  • Use the whole power of your software instruments live on stage
