A new dll's always created when you update.

ew while you're here if I may.......I got the Free Clara Vocal library some time ago. Today after a recent update to Kontakt I noticed the Free Clara Library is now asking for an activation number in the N.I. Service Center. I don't remember it asking for an activation number before. The library seems to function just fine...save/load is possible. Do you know the story of the free Clara Library ? My memory is just a bit foggy as to it's history.... :oops:

I had to read up on it TBH; I've been out of the loop for a while.

It looks to me as if it's a subset of this Zero-G library. My guess is that the newest Kontakt version is mistaking the free version for version 2 (which is also available separately) which isn't free.

Thanks ew. The library seems to function properly so I guess I'll just not worry about it. :)

I haven't seen this posted here so I'll add it in case anyone uses Sonic Couture's Hammersmith. TLDR version: there's a bug that prevents Hammersmith from loading in 5.6.5 due to some incompatibility with Native Access, but there's a workaround in the second quote.

We have reported this to NI and will be working with them as a matter of urgency to get it fixed.

In the meantime, just wait before updating please!
Then the update that I just got in the last hour:
Sonic Couture Email wrote:We think we have found a solution to the bug, thanks to the NI user forum and a couple of our users:

To delete NativeAccess.xml file.

1) Close Kontakt
2) Navigate the following directory and delete the file called NativeAccess.xml:

Mac: Macintosh HD / Library / Application Support / Native Instruments / Service Center
PC: C:/ Program Files / Common Files / Native Instruments / Service Center

3) Relaunch Kontakt - hopefully this fixes the problem!


Do NOT start Native Access again until NI fixes it with an update.

It never got official library status. I did the same thing, adding it to the library, and got a lot of requests for activation until I removed it and added it to the Quickload browser. The newer versions, Ethera and Ethera Soul Edition are both official Kontakt libraries.

The NativeAccess.xml tip worked for the Hammersmith. Possibly it might work for other libraries as well.

did 5.6.5 bring back the 32bit version?

No, looks like it's gone for good. I posted a workaround here if you want to use both versions.

I updated with the Service Center and the 32bit version has been updated. This time to v5.6.5. (R13) W7 PC. The 32bit version has been available to me during every update.

I was looking at this vid about Kinetic Treats, then I notice that he has a Genesis Library

Is that a Kontakt Player library, it is being sold at just $20 ?
