I'm wondering whether there's a connection between the amount of libraries you have on the libraries tab and the time it takes for Kontakt to initially load up as a plugin.
I'm talking about that toohow long it takes for Kontakt itself to load
Since I went to Logic 10.46 kontakt GUI opens slow with the same libraries.I'm wondering whether there's a connection between the amount of libraries you have on the libraries tab and the time it takes for Kontakt to initially load up as a plugin.
I suspect this could be the culprit as well.Which then again makes me wonder about antivirus scanning happening on file open...
(And as I mentioned elsewhere, for whatever reason, Kontakt 5 is much slower at about 1.5s.)
Both have the option to show network drives but not removable drives. Kontakt 5 was set to show foreign file formats -- I don't see where this option is in Kontakt 6 -- but disabling it didn't change the load time. All the prefs in Options are identical. In fact, I purged the K5 database so it's entirely empty (while it's populated in K6), but K5 still takes 10x longer than K6 to instantiate.Maybe the option to show foreign file formats, network and external drives is enabled in it? Are all Kontakt settings in Options otherwise identical between them?
I don't see where this option is in Kontakt 6
Half a minute for loading Kontakt? That's way too much. I have way over 100 Kontakt Player libraries and Kontakt opens in 5 seconds. I wonder if there's antivirus scanning on Kontakt file types happening. You'll want to have some exclusions for Kontakt's extensions (or the whole drives where your sample libraries are).
Using a large database and/or quick-load could affect loading times, though. But still, if they're on SSD, that should be plenty fast. Which then again makes me wonder about antivirus scanning happening on file open...

1. Why should the number of libraries or if they are scanned for viruses when you load them - should have an impact on how long it takes for Kontakt itself to load?

I'll tell you what's strange.The more things you have, the more things to scan.
