• Default View: новый вид по умолчанию боковой панели позволяет подключать миди-эффекты к инструментам, смешивать различные инструменты стойки и быстро загружать и менять пресеты как для эффектов, так и для инструментов.
• Piano Uno: Kontakt 8 поставляется с простой в использовании библиотекой фортепиано.
• Улучшенный модуль Wavetable: позволяет выполнять фазовую и частотную модуляцию и значительно расширяет возможности синтеза Контакта.
• Komplete UI: помощник для разработчиков по быстрому созданию внешнего вида инструментов с высоким разрешением, которые не только звучат, но и выглядят красиво.

При первом запуске Менеджера библиотек будет произведено автоматическое сканирование заводского контента, а также уже установленных библиотек (сканирование в реестре). По окончании сканирования необходимо сохранить изменения и (пере)запустить Контакт. Если при первом запуске изменения не были сохранены, то автоматическое сканирование можно запустить в любое время сочетанием клавиш Alt + Insert или из контекстного меню Менеджера: ДОБАВИТЬ > быстрый поиск
По умолчанию библиотеки добавляются только в классический браузер (за исключением заводского контента, не добавляемого в классический браузер). Такое поведение можно изменить в настройках Менеджера библиотек: Библиотеки > Управлять библиотеками в NKS-браузере
