Native Instruments - NI Kore

NI Kore - The Universal Sound Platform

Chapter 1 - Use One Interface

Imagine operating all your software instruments with just one interface...

Now You Can: KORE

Do you have a multitude of software instruments and effects installed on your computer? From managing the presets to editing the sound, every plug-in has a different operational concept. Understanding and learning how to use each new plug-in is usually a time consuming process that often has a disruptive effect on the musical work-flow.


The Solution: One Interface for Everything

KORE brings order to the overwhelming amount of software instruments, effects, presets and varying operating concepts. KORE’s uniform interface injects musical creativity into your work processes, making music production easier, faster and more intuitive than ever before.

All of your VST and Audio Units instruments and effects can be loaded into the KORE software. These are then presented in a clearly structured, uniform software and hardware interface. The graphical layout of the control elements in the software corresponds exactly to the layout of the KORE hardware controller.

Finding, loading and managing presets as well as editing any sound's parameters all takes place within KORE itself. KORE delivers a clear overview of your work space and maximum usability.

One hardware for all



Touch your instruments

Thanks to the seamless integration of KORE's software and hardware components, your software instruments and effects become tactile instruments that are highly intuitive and uniform in their operation. The number of parameters that can be assigned to the KORE interface is of course not limited to the eight buttons and knobs. Additional pages, each with eight knobs and buttons, can be stepped through easily, ensuring that all the necessary parameters can be accessed.


KOMPLETE Compatibility

Combined with the instruments and effects included in NI KOMPLETE 3, KORE becomes an outstandingly powerful platform. The most important sound parameters for nearly all 9000 presets included in NI KOMPLETE 3 – plus the 2000 included in NI KOMPLETE SOUND 2 – have already been assigned to the knobs and buttons on the KORE interface.

A structured concept was followed in assigning each of the presets' parameters to the KORE interface, resulting in the controls for timbre, source, modulation, effects etc always being grouped together in various 'Easy Access' pages.

This allows you to not only play everything but edit everything as well, without having to open and fully understand each individual instrument. And the KORE controller adds that invaluable hands-on touch.

If you still need to access the actual instrument's interface, you still can: Just click the Edit button and the instrument will open directly out of the KORE Rack.


One interface for all 3rd Party Plug-ins

Naturally, third party Audio Unit or VST instruments and effects can also be used with KORE. All the knobs and buttons of your plug-ins that can be automated, can also be assigned to the KORE control elements with a flick of the wrist and then saved for future sessions. And the KORE controller will give you the same freedom, ease-of-use and analog feel as with the NI instruments and effects as well as increasing the musical creativity in your work flow.

KORE in no way constricts the potential of your plug-ins, it simply makes them all far easier, quicker and more intuitive to use.
