Very few developers are leaving for good (most of them still release for Kontakt), on the other hand the influx of new developers also exists.

So, I’m curious… Native Instruments has a lot of developers who pay to be a part of the “main library frame/browser”.

And yet when something goes awry with a particular developers library and you click “fix”, (or many times it doesn’t even know there is anything to fix), but there obviously is something as it can’t either find a piece of art, a sample, and instrument, etc… it simply won’t load. Why is this? Why is their no opportunity to reinstall the library? Is this up to the developers? I’m so tired of the “please contact the developer for a fix” (I’m paraphrasing) it just seems to me that if developers PAY to be on N.I. platform that everything , including re-installation would be handled by them (i.e., N.I). All I can think is that the developer doesn’t hand over those rights. Fixes and re-installs seem limited to N.I. Content only. Three days ago we’ve had four libraries that simply won’t load anymore. It shows missing content. No matter where you direct the KONTAKT app it just can’t find the missing content. You can batch re-save, you can wave the bloody chicken foot….nothing. The libraries were NEVER moved. They were never changed. No updates were sent. (Oh, that’s another niggle, I KNOW there have been updates to some libraries but Native Access shows you are ‘UP TO DATE”.? Really???? Maybe I’m just beginning to understand why some devs are abandoning NI’s ship…..if it was really a great eco system and made things easier for user and developer alike it would be great.

I want just to say,

Some deves are abbondoning NI's ship?

Who?

Spitfire , and OT... just because they are big and They can create their own platform

But, the Kontakt ship actually is really Full... :)

just 2 my cents..

Hey, I'm having fun of my life recently with the combo of 6.7.1 and Cubase 12.0.40. I'm suspecting it's Kontakt, but am unable to roll back to a previous version.

Could anyone be so nice and see if there's something I'm missing in my post?

You can get one or two previous versions here, but i would also go back to Cubase 12.30

Thanks- I researched a bit and rolled back to 12.30 this morning. Unfortunately the Kontakt links were for a bit too old versions as VST3 is mandatory now as my projects will be broken without it. Let's see how things go.
 
Hey Guys,

A few newer libraries are going to force me into more recent versions of Kontakt (grrrr)... I'm currently on 6.4.2 (Mac) which is flawless for me. I figure I'll give 6.7.1 a shot, but as always, I keep current versions to revert to in case of trouble.

It's been a while since I've done that, so refresh my memory - if I back up the Kontakt App itself, the AU plugin, and the Pref files, that should be all I need to revert, correct? Am I forgetting anything?

I think if you batch resave any of your libraries, that you can no longer use those in a version of kontakt lower than the version that you used to resave.

On Windows, all you need to save are the .EXE, .DLL and .VST3 files. I'm not aware that you need to save preferences.

Thanks - but as I mentioned, I'm on the Mac side. Usually it's just the app, the AU plugin, and I keep the pref files too just in case - just couldn't remember if there was anything else I'm forgetting...
 
It's an entirely new factory library, separate install. If you own an older version of Kontakt you can of course keep on using the old factory library.
 
I assume that it will be possible to run the old KFL library in K7 without having an older version of Kontakt on your system.

BTW, I'm really curious about the new KFL. The announced improvements sound very promising. I'm wondering if it will be designed as a sequel to the older library or a complete replacement with all the categories refreshed. We'll find out soon enough...
