Suddenly, a piano sample could sound like it was being played through a Moog ladder filter. This opened the door for hybrid scoring—organic instruments processed through synthetic circuits.

With MIDI learn and automation, Kontakt 4 could be used live, though latency was still an issue on older hardware. kontakt 4 era
