KORE 2 is a universal sound platform that will integrate all your
software instruments and effects into a single, unified interface.
KORE 2 - Sound Unique
KORE 2 stands for unique sound - in no time. Transform your computer into a Super Instrument - find, play, combine, and create sounds with unparalleled speed, power and ease.
Premium Sounds Included
KORE 2 produces an ocean of sound right from the start by
integrating the most powerful Native Instruments audio engines with more than 500 KoreSounds® included. Furthermore, KORE 2 is
infinitely expandable with any Audio Unit™/VST®-plug-in.
Find Sounds Fast
KORE 2 makes finding the desired sound a breeze - simply choose its musical characteristics in the new and expanded KoreSound Browser or use the text search function.

Tweak Sounds Instantly
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.
Integrated Audio Engines / 500 Sounds / Sound Morphing
KORE 2 is a hardware/software system of truly inspirational
capabilities. Encompassing a huge array of exceptional, immediately
production-ready sounds, a unique work-flow optimizing interface and a
new, seamlessly integrated controller; KORE 2 lets you sound unique –
in no time.
500 KoreSounds
500 unique, production-ready KoreSounds have been specially created
for KORE 2 using the integrated sound generators, effects and advanced
MIDI tools arpeggiator, step sequencer and MIDI player), incorporating
ingenious routing and layering.
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 and instruments. 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 a wealth of variations.
The real innovation herby 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 2 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
8 controller buttons – both processes can be automated in the audio
host.
Workflow Acceleration with New User Interface
The newly remodelled, radically simplified user interface has been specifically tailored to optimize and accelerate workflow.
Create faster, work smarter
The new Sound Matrix lets you combine KoreSounds, plug-ins, effects,
MIDI file players, step sequencers, appregiators and even entire
performances (consisting of multiple KoreSounds) in any combination.
Simple drag and drop operation in one unified interface for all file
types minimizes the time spent managing files and maximizes creativity.
Want to fuse an ABSYNTH pad with an FM8 lead sound and pattern
delay? Combine an appregiator with a REAKTOR sound? Trigger a KONTAKT
drum kit with a MIDI player?
KORE 2 handles all elements (whether KoreSounds, plug-ins, effects,
performances or MIDI modules) in the same way and using just one
interface. Making, manipulating and working with sounds and plug-ins
becomes direct and intuitive as never before.
Complexity made easy
The entire sound architecture has been condensed in such a way that
any number of mixer structures, including audio and MIDI routing can be
nested inside each other, while simultaneously retaining maximum
clarity. The topmost level in the KORE interface is also the simplest,
allowing an immediate, musically intuitive approach - even highly
complex KoreSounds are incredibly ease to use. Through double-clicking,
the user can access KOREs deeper levels, enabling increasingly profound
sound manipulation.
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 and are displayed
only when needed.
Kore 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 programs 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.
