Speakers is a plugin effect designed to emulate a wide range of loudspeakers and microphones, making spoken word dialogue and instrumental parts sound like they’re coming out of telephones, vintage cabinets, electronic toys, and much more. It also features a freely configurable effects chain, comprising compression, distortion, and filtering, as well as an array of looping background noises for setting the sound in a variety of environments.

Kontakt Player will run a demo version of AudioThing libraries for a limited time (and with limited editing functions). We recommend a full retail version of Kontakt 3, 4, or 5 (depending on the library).
As 99% of third party developers, our libraries will not show in the Libraries Tab. The Libraries Tab is designed to work exclusively for “Powered by Kontakt” player libraries. Since our libraries are open-format you have to open them with the Files Tab. This is done to keep our price low.
Once you have downloaded the .zip archive file of the instrument you bought, you need to unzip it using a software like WinRar (for PC) or The Unarchiver (for OSX). Just place the folder wherever you want and load the instrument(s) through the Files Tab in Kontakt.
It is better to preserve the internal folder structure, however, it is possible to place instruments and samples to separate folders/harddisks but Kontakt will ask for the new path first time you run the instrument.
