![]() ![]() One of the core ideas behind Kore is that you can choose patches on the basis of what they sound like, regardless of what instrument(s) made them. ![]() A two-in, four-out, 24-bit/96kHz audio interface is also built in. There is, however, a MIDI interface built into the controller allowing MIDI controllers and keyboards to be connected to the computer via the same USB cable. The controller is not a generic MIDI control surface, and is purely meant to control the Kore software and plug-ins hosted in it. It does not provide any DSP hardware: your plug-ins still run using the host computer's processing power. Kore is not a sequencing or recording package it is more like an instrument that draws its sound sources and effects from other plug-ins. ![]() Let's start by taking a quick look at what it doesn't do. Kore's announcement was greeted with a cautious reaction in some quarters, and an excited one in others, probably because of the lack of agreement on what it was actually going to do. This rather dry description may not blow your skirt up, but believe me it's this last feature that could have a profound impact on your desktop music production, and bring your computer much closer to feeling like a musical instrument. ![]() In addition to providing a standardised hardware control system, and a means to construct patches from multiple plug-ins, Kore has a powerful patch and preset cataloguing system, creating a centralised database of all the sounds and effects at your disposal. Kore plug-in instances, or the stand-alone host, are controlled with the hardware unit. Plug-ins are hosted within the Kore software 'shell', which appears as a plug-in in your sequencer, or runs as a stand-alone host. Native Instruments' Kore is an integrated software and hardware system that acts as a universal 'front end' to other VST/Audio Units instruments and effects installed on your computer. NI's Kore system promises to unify your library of software instruments and effects, creating the mother of all workstation synths or multi-effects units. ![]()
