You do realize there's a script to change key colors in the script/utility presets, I presume...

Does it change them back to how they used to be instead of those tiny chips?
Nope.
Still trying to match those on komplete kontrol.

Why is NI trying to keep stupid tiny coloring of keys. At least they can give us option for that. Shame!

Yeah, when I saw the update announcement's reference to changes based on customer feedback, I figured they must have fixed the key coloring. Baffling that it didn't happen. Their inaction on this is straight up obnoxious.

Damn I forgot about this thread and updated my Kontakt along with four other N.I. plugins today. Did anyone figure out how to Purge Multi in the new version or have they fixed it since September ? :?

Ahhh cool thank you ! Good thing I waited. I haven't had a chance to load Kontakt since updating so Purge will be the first thing I check out.... :)

I had read somewhere else that the font and icons are now really small / hard to read.

Any "less young" people care to comment? :-)

I think it was 5.6.1 that made them readable again, or at least readable-ish :-).....

Thanks. Have been holding off as in the middle of some albums at the moment and hard to read stuff is the last thing I need :-)

No. Still best off sticking with 5.5x still,

Working good for me on W7. It still has a 32bit version.

Has global purge back. Works just fine.

Having the same issue with this update as I've had with every NI installer since 1.3- the mousewheel no longer works. I stopped updating my NI products after notifying them back in March, to which I was told "we can't reproduce".

Anybody here have any clues? Both windows and Logitech mouse drivers are up to date. I can usually fix problems myself, but this is a curveball. Especially since everything pre-1.3 (or with Kontakt, pre-5.2), the mousewheel works just fine :dog:

edit: I guess it's something NI won't fix, despite several reports of it. Hmm, I was told I was the only person to report it. Well well.

This version and the last version create a new dll is that correct? I never updated when the gui was updated because of issues I was reading about.
