Wait, are we talking about just dealing with samples, or actual instruments? Because quickload is just for instruments/banks/multis. And yes it does replace the currently loaded instrument if you drag&drop over it. Or right-click on a patch within QL and use "Load into slot" option.

All these years and I never knew it did that !

Quickload makes much more sense now. :)

Why is it that hard to have a favorite star or check in the browser?

Another question: Super8 is part of any of the komplete bundles or not?

Post

Nope. It was released after Komplete 12, which means it will likely be included in K13.

50% off upgrade to K6.

worth it?

Post

It's always good to keep up to date. Soon enough there'll be non-Kontakt Player libraries that require the new functionality in K6 - you might want to have some of those...

Post

Weird, can't manage to install the new Play instruments on non-system drives...

Post

It used to be that you could not download KFL on anything other than, NA wouldn't allow it. I thought they fixed that.

Post

Yes they did fix that, you need to change Content path in NA preferences before starting a download. It's not ideal but there you have it.

Post

ow yeah!
Will try that asap, thanx a lot.

There are new libs that require K6 - Noire piano for example - so if you are a heavy Kontakt user it’s probably a good idea.
Of course there’s the K6 player but I reckon that newer libs won’t always support that.
Right now - if you have Komplete - the upgrade price is really worth going for... K6 and Massive X for $99 are worth the price of admission alone.

Post

Yes, although K6 might not seem from a "normal" user point of view, I'm mindful of how much was delivered in Kontakt 5.0 to 5.9(?) so I'm hoping for a similar evolution of 6

if you are upgrading, get it now for $49.50

Seems a no-brainer to me. I bought it in the pre-order stage. I personally regard Ethereal Earth as easily worth the price of admission alone.
