Kore Player is the latest twist on the Kore media browser technology developed by Native Instruments alongside their massive arsenal of sound tools.

Based on the same principles as the flagship Kore 2 Super Instrument, it includes six Native Instruments sound engines under the hood and provides ready-to-play sounds that can be browsed and tweaked via the ultra-intuitive interface. Adding new sounds is as easy as purchasing and downloading affordable Kore Sound Packs.
It can be used standalone or as a plug in for Macs and PCs.

KORE PLAYER will be available for free download on the Native Instruments website in March 2008, and will include a compact "get-started" KORE SOUND library with instantly usable sounds.
