>> Kontakt 7 - Updates (current version: 7.10.8)

[EvilDragon]

Correct, KFL is a separate install with a separate serial number and you don't have to have K6 or K5 installed to use it.

I'm wondering if it will be designed as a sequel to the older library or a complete replacement with all the categories refreshed.

Broad categories are the same (some are renamed) but it's mostly a complete replacement.

 

[Bee_Abney]

And now I am fondly remembering the KLF.



Hopefully KFL 7 is also going to rock me.

 

[McSound]

Hoping new KSP7 would support bigger resolution. Always wanted make full screen UI

 

[EvilDragon]

KSP doesn't but the new UI toolkit does (however it's not yet open for public).

 

[McSound]

Could you enlight some more about new features please, once you're allowed? What do you mean by UI toolkit?

 

[McSound]

Just've read on official site : "To enable developers to create modern, high-definition instrument user interfaces in KONTAKT, we’re introducing a new user-interface language for products called the Native UI. This language is currently within closed-alpha and will be made available to developers over time as the language stabilizes." Can't believe it happened, I already was thinking to move to HISE or Halion or Falcon because of very small Kontakt UI.

Importing non-player libraries?

 

[bosone]

any info on the new kontakt7 library??

 

[EvilDragon]

Importing non-player libraries?

Not to Libraries tab, but yes in the new browser.

Is it wise to run Kontakt Player 7 and Kontakt full 6 at the same time? Main issue I can think of is if I do a batch resave of a library in 7 and then can't open it in 6. I'm only a hobbyist so no critical workflow (or loss of earnings etc.) if it gets messed up, but would still be a pain.

 

[EvilDragon]

You can do it of course. And nobody forces you to batch resave anything in K7.

The key thing will be not to batch resave anything in Kontakt 7 that you want to run in Kontakt 6. I don’t know if that means you can’t enjoy the benefits of batch resaving with those libraries when using Kontakt 7.

This is an issue for those who want to keep Kontakt 6 to use libraries in old projects or templates that haven’t been updated.

After a little time, once you are confident with how Kontakt 7 is working, the only other reason to keep using Kontakt 6 will be to access the old Factory Library.

Of course not.

Ah yea, I was thinking of when I'm tired and forget and do it by mistake

I'll need K6 for my non-player libraries as I've not upgraded to 7 yet but just have the Player version. I was curious, and wanted to check it out and realised my Player libraries would all work fine in it. So I guess I'll just need to not be too tired and dumb

 

[Bee_Abney]

Of course not.

The ‘not’ is good to know; the ‘of course’ may apply objectively, but requires more than my knowledge of “computer stuff” to know! (There are little people inside, right?)

Strange issue... in Kontakt Player 7 the browser doesn't list any libraries after the Kontakt entry. I've reinstalled Kontakt 7 Player just now to check and it's still the same.



I have Komplete 10 Ultimate and Komplete 12 plus far too many third party instruments, both Kontakt Player libraries and non-player libraries. As an example, the browser shows Ethereal Earth and Cloud Supply but not my other Play Series libraries (Hybrid Keys, Lo Fi Glow, Analogue Deams and Modular Icons). I called these out specifically as they're NI Kontakt libraries that are probably more likely to be problem free than most others.

Everything appears in the libraries tab fine.



All looks good here too:



And non-player content base path is set to where all my libraries are kept:

Don't know if I'll update to KU 14.
Anyone know how much the update is from Kontakt 6 to 7?

 

[planist]

HiDPI is a bit misleading.. So no complete HiDPI support. Still small fonts and visualization in the edit view?

Also was worried about it but read the FAQ.https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/6554022324637-KONTAKT-7-FAQ Times change)
