Sample Logic's new HeartBeat is useless without full Kontakt

Sample Logic has launched HeartBeat, a percussion-focused software instrument that operates within Native Instruments Kontakt. The product delivers 2,400 audio loops alongside 216 complete drum kits that span multiple musical styles from electronic and hip-hop to indie rock and cinematic trailer music. Musicians can manipulate sounds through various tools, including Attack and Release controls, sample stretching capabilities, pitch modification, and built-in effects processing. The 3.15GB sample library contains content recorded at 44.1kHz and 24-bit resolution, requiring Kontakt version 7.10.6 or later for operation. Early adopters can purchase HeartBeat for $99.99 during the introductory period before pricing increases to the standard $199.99 retail cost.
