The latest update, 1.2.2, fixes a host sync issue with some of the looped groove instruments and offers a refreshed design. Swing v1.2.2 KONTAKT was recorded in two different locations: the concert hall that was also used for the Symphobia and Orchestral Essentials Series (3 mic sets) and a smaller studio environment (2 mic sets). The location chosen depended on the instrument, musical context and usability.

One of the highlights of Swing v1.2.2 KONTAKT is the big band ensemble, which includes tutti, unison, wide octaves, chords and gestures articulations. The sound is rich, powerful and authentic, and you can easily create dynamic and expressive arrangements with the mod wheel control. The brass and sax sections also offer unison, chords and gestures articulations, as well as some solo instruments such as trumpet harmon, trumpet harmon cup and trombone solo. The solo instruments have a smooth legato transition that sounds very realistic and natural.
Another highlight of Swing v1.2.2 KONTAKT is the rhythm section, which features guitars, bass and jazz drums. The guitars include nylon, manouche (gypsy-style) and ukelele, and they have strum chords and tempo sync grooves articulations. The bass includes double bass and Fender precision bass, and they have a variety of playing styles such as pizzicato, arco, slap and pick. The jazz drums are played with brushes and have grooves and fills articulations that can sync to your host tempo. You can also mix and match different instruments from the rhythm section to create your own custom groove.
Swing v1.2.2 KONTAKT also offers some other instruments that can add some flavor and character to your compositions. These include accordion, harmonica, toy piano, whistle ensemble, lap steel, pedal steel and low ensemble. The accordion has 8-stop and musette articulations that can create a nostalgic or romantic mood. The harmonica has a bluesy tone that can fit well with some genres such as country or western. The toy piano and whistle ensemble are perfect for adding some fun and playful elements to your music. The lap steel and pedal steel have single notes and chords articulations that can create some beautiful melodies or harmonies. The low ensemble features trombone and contra bassoon articulations that can add some depth and weight to your low end.
