Kontakt provides a platform for working with sampled instruments and compatible libraries. The application, a library's content and the library's player licensing are separate parts of a setup decision. Before choosing a library, verify whether it requires the full application or supports Kontakt Player, and check the minimum version specified by that library's publisher.
