So sit back and learn to get "kreative" with Native Instruments Kontakt in this course by trainer and Kontakt expert Matt Vanacoro!
This was a well laid out, well narrated course. It just scratches the surface, but it helped me to dare to dive in the rest for myself, while if I hadn't followed this course, I wouldn't have explored it all on my own. Cudo's.

This course helped me to move from the vision of Kontact as just a tool to playback packaged libraries to an actual instrument and environnement for sound creation. Great.

Excellent. I thought I knew more about Kontakt than I apparently do. Kontakt is now an even better value to me than it already was. Thanks Matt!
