Native Instruments is excited to announce a new update for Kompakt which brings the powerful sampler to Mac OS X. Kompakt now fully supports the modern technologies and interfaces of OS X, including AudioUnits, RTAS, VST and standalone operation with CoreMIDI and CoreAudio.

Kompakt is a streamlined sampler, powered by the Kontakt engine, that ships with a comprehensive library and can import the most common sample formats. The factory library contains a wide range of instruments like pianos, basses, loops, drums, guitars, strings, and more from the East West and Zero-G libraries. Kompakt is a quick way to build a production-ready instrument collection, and it can also import Kontakt, Gigasampler, HALion, EXS, AKAI, and other common formats.

The Kompakt update is immediately available to all registered users as a free download. Kompakt carries an MSRP of $199 and 199 Euro. All Kontakt users can purchase Kompakt for a discounted price of $99.
