The library produces everything from highly expressive acoustic instrument sounds, dynamic amp modeling and effects to a full scope of analog, digital and hybrid electronic sounds.

Fast and easy access to sounds
Get immediate access to any sound you can imagine: Simply choose a musical characteristic or use the full text search function - the greatly expanded Kore SOUND Browser displays all relevant results and plug-ins. All NI sounds have already been catalogued and third-party plug-in presets can be fully imported and categorized by the user.

Create new sounds in the Sound Matrix
Within the intuitive sound matrix, KoreSounds, plug-ins, effects, MIDI files, step sequencers and arpeggiators are all easily combinable by drag and drop. The matrix makes for a uniquely creative and intuitive workflow.

Stage-Ready: Performance Presets & Sound Mapping
Kore 2 is not only the perfect production tool for the studio, but also the Super Instrument for the stage: Thanks to the sophisticated keyboard layer and split functions and the Performance Preset Manager, you can perform complete shows and seamlessly switch between different sounds and setups - manually or via MIDI Program Change - immediately or on a certain beat or bar!

Get additional sounds with Kore Soundpacks
Kore 2 grows with your needs and is infinitely expandable with new sounds thanks to the great-value Kore Soundpacks. There are already twelve Kore Soundpacks available.
