В восьмой версии появились новые функции, а также инструменты и сэмплы. Новыми в 8 версии являются функции Chords и Phrases, которые позволяют пользователям генерировать мелодии и последовательности, используя как MIDI-контент, так и инструменты рандомизации. Обе функции совместимы как с самим Kontakt, так и с любым инструментом, созданным на движке Kontakt.
Еще одно значительное дополнение — Leap, позволяющее быстро работать с петлями и сэмплами и знакомое всем, кто пользовался Arcade от Output. К Leap прилагаются 12 расширений, ориентированных на конкретные жанры, среди которых Afrobeats, Latin Trap и Soul Gold. Conflux — новый инструмент, сочетающий в себе сэмплерный движок, волновой и FM-синтез, позволяющий манипулировать и модулировать в режиме реального времени.
Если говорить об эстетике, появился совершенно новый браузер, позволяющий просматривать все инструменты, установленные на компьютере и совместимые с Kontakt. Можно искать по типу и характеру звука или по бренду инструмента.
