KORE 2 is the Super Instrument – a powerful software / hardware system with a versatile library of more than 500 production-ready sounds with over 3,000 sound variations, plus over 100 effect settings. Find, play, and tweak sounds with unprecedented speed, power and ease.
KORE 2 features six integrated sound engines, a dedicated hardware controller, and the ultra-fast KoreSound® browser. Additionally, KORE 2 is infinitely expandable with the KORE SOUNDPACKS, KOMPLETE 5 or any other Audio Unit™/VST®-plug-in.
Production-ready sound library
KORE 2 produces cutting-edge sounds right from the start based on the integrated sound engines of REAKTOR, MASSIVE, ABSYNTH, FM8, KONTAKT and GUITAR RIG. The versatile sound library covers production-ready sounds of nearly all kinds - ranging from band and orchestral instruments to synthesizers, drums, soundscapes and sound effects. Every included sound provides up to 8 sound variations which can be morphed using the unique morphing pad or the KORE controller - intricate sonic transitions are at your fingertips!
Fast and easy access to sounds
KORE 2 makes finding the desired sound a breeze - simply choose an instrument type and its musical characteristics in the expanded KoreSound® Browser or use the text search function.
Analog-style control
In KORE 2, software generated sound acquires the tactile feel of hardware. The KORE Controller's high resolution, touch-sensitive controls guarantee tangibly direct analog-style sound manipulation. All library sounds have been pre-mapped for immediate hands on tweak-ability.
Create new sounds in the Sound Matrix:
Within the intuitive sound matrix, KoreSounds, plug-ins, effects, MIDI files, step sequencers and arpeggiators are all easily combinable by drag and drop. The matrix makes for a uniquely creative and intuitive workflow.
Stage-Ready: Performance Presets & Sound Mapping:
KORE 2 is not only the perfect production tool for the studio, but also the Super Instrument for the stage: Thanks to the sophisticated keyboard layer and split functions and the Performance Preset Manager, you can perform complete shows and seamlessly switch between different sounds and setups - manually using the controller or via MIDI Program Change - immediately or on a certain beat or bar!
And with the KORE 2 controller, you have all sound settings manually under control at the same time!
Integrated Audio Engines
KORE 2 includes the audio engines* from REAKTOR, MASSIVE, ABSYNTH, FM8, KONTAKT and GUITAR RIG providing a stunning selection of premium sounds.
500 KoreSounds®
More than 500 unique, production-ready KoreSounds® (instrument and effect sounds) have been specially created for KORE 2. These sounds are based on the integrated sound generators, effects and advanced MIDI tools (arpeggiator, step sequencer and MIDI player), incorporating ingenious routing and layering:
- 440 instrument sounds based on the integrated NI audio engines (+ sound variations)
- 100 effect sounds based on the integrated NI audio engines (+ sound variations)
- 300 effect settings for the built-in KORE 2 effects
The effect sounds are making KORE 2 an extraordinary effects unit.
Through the combination of high-end sound generators with the unique potential of KORE 2, the on-board sounds boast an unparalleled level of detail and depth.
The focus has been laid on universally applicable yet innately tweakable sounds, instruments and effects.
Useful parameters of every on-board sound have been individually mapped to the KORE Controller, allowing for highly detailed editing. Playing and customizing sounds has never been this easy and musical.
Sound Variations and Sound Morphing
Any KoreSound® can encompass up to 8 sound variations - 8 articulations of one sound enabling you to emphasize varying settings and nuances as part of the musical flow. The 500 on-board sounds have been specially programmed with over 3,000 variations.
Sound Morphing field
The real innovation is the ability to morph sounds between their respective sound variations. For example, a KoreSound® can start as a bass-heavy MASSIVE sound, morph into a crystalline FM8 pad, gradually distort (through the addition of a GUITAR RIG effect) and finally dissolve, (through the addition of a delay plug-in) in a haze of reverb.
There are practically no limits to how sounds can be morphed. Virtually any parameter of a KoreSound® can be set as a sound variation. Internal mixer settings, volume/pan/send settings, MIDI information, audio and effect parameters as well as the sound settings of the plug-ins can be saved with a sound variation, thus making them available for morphing.
Whether smoothly morphing between sound variations with two of the KORE controller's rotary dials or switching between variations with the eight controller buttons – both processes can be automated in the audio host.
Uniform operation in plug-in or stand alone mode
Organize your entire KORE rig for playing live, use performance presets to switch between sounds, channel settings, effect parameters and more. KORE 2 now offers the same powerful features, whether in stand alone or plug-in mode.
Flexible MIDI Routing
MIDI control data from the MIDI file player, arpeggiator, step sequencer or any other MIDI generating plug-in can now be routed - in the same flexible way as audio - to any number of sound destinations. For example, use a REAKTOR sequencer to trigger ABSYNTH sounds.
Flexible Aux Routing
Creativity without bounds – in KORE 2 an unlimited number of aux channels are now at your disposal. Send the output of individual plug-ins to their own individual channels, or for further processing to other channels. Aux channels are created dynamically.
Integrated Help Display:
The context-sensitive helper is integrated within the interface. When moving the mouse over an element an explanation of its functions will be displayed.
Multi-Language Interface:
Menus and helper are available in English, German, Spanish, French and Japanese.
Added to KORE in version 2:
- High performance KoreSound® browser with ultra fast quicksearch function
- All KORE 2 compatible file formats / elements (KoreSounds®, MIDI files, performances, plug-ins, integrated effects) can be managed AND tagged.
- Individual Sound Attributes / Tags: in addition to the multitude of pre-existing categories you can now tag your sounds, plug-ins, effects, MIDI files, etc. according to your own criteria.
- KoreSounds® can be saved by drag and drop in the KoreSound® browser.
- Multi-file editing: multiple KoreSounds® can be saved and tagged simultaneously (for example, newly added bass sounds can be tagged as "Bass – Analog – Low – Hip Hop").
- Batch Import: Entire preset libraries of 3rd party Audio Unit / VST plug-ins can be imported in one go; after which they are instantly usable as KoreSounds®.
- Faster plug-in pre-listening -simply click on a plug-in in the Sound Matrix and step through its presets.
- Text search and category selection can be used in combination, i.e., searching for MASSIVE in the text search field with additional categories (for example "Bass", "Analog") will show results for MASSIVE analog bass sounds.
