These bastarden make everything worse, i have updated and now I can forget these libraries. Kontakt7 needs 5 minutes to load the the plugin, while Kontakt 6 needs only 3 seconds. They shlould first solve this mega issue, before they make everything crap

[zvenx]

I know there is an issue (big for me) with quick loads from the header in Kontakt 7, but wasn't aware of huge/noticeable loading time differences between K7 and K6.
Can you kindly give me an example of a library that this happens with?
rsp

[zvenx]

Btw, I remember the name of two libraries that were just updating, but in those two, I see the original and a 2.0...

Maybe K6 can read the original ones still and K7 features are in the 2.0

Looks like NI are about to enter another sh1t storm

[zvenx]

And yep.. as I thought.
There is a 2.0 and the original and Kontakt 6 reads the original just find.
rsp

[zvenx]

As you were saying?


Apparently there is no issue.
The update seems to keep the original and add a 2.0 for those who want it in K7.6.

So K6 users will end up with 2 version of everything and we have to select the one we can use or K6 users should just stop updating using NI Access? KK still loads the libraires without having to do anything (you would have thought would have been the same for K6?)

No, there's the 1.x and 2.0 are two different versions , the new ones are 2.1. You mean 2.0 and 2.1 are both available?

I dn't see a 2.1 in mine... which library do you see a 2.1?

btw, you can always delete the 2.0 or whichever one you don't want to use...rsp

The current version is K7, I am not sure there will be any update for K6 ever to come or any new NI library that will use K6, maybe some third party ones available thru NI might, but then just don't update the NI content..
How exactly would you have preferred them do this?

I would say it is an issue if it makes it the default in K6 (as it did for me (despite the fact that it wont play and you manually have to go and find the old library and delete the new one? Seems like very bad practice to me, just introduces a nag screen to but the new version you have to take a manual action to bypass.

See? Nothing to get grumpy over. Everyone can calm down.

What saved me when this happened (and I don’t do this consistently) is that I used to keep notes in the host about a specific patch used, so I could replace it with a new version if needed. Even knowing it saved me before, I’m less likely to do that now for purely lazy reasons.

If you use Cubendo (Komplete Kontrol does it too), is remove the older version of Kontakt from your hard drive (well the plugin anyway (you can test it if you want, just move it to the desktop out of the vst/vst3/au).. Assuming you have Kontakt 7, it will replace the instances of the older ones.
rsp

Thank you! Good to know.

I had an idiot moment (many of those can occur) and didn’t remember what Cubendo meant (don’t worry I got it)

I have Cubase 12 Pro but still haven’t set it up. I got lost in Live and Push 3.

Over the next several weeks I’m planning to render older projects to audio files, and just add notes where necessary. Maybe I’ll keep the midi files too, but I’m going to remove all the old versions since they’re adding up and just convoluting the process.

I don't want any new libraires, I bought Noire as a K6 library, I don't have K7- so why did NI update this in K6 and then have a screen saying you have to update to use it? Why load/import libraries that cant run it to K6, why not just exclude them if its a new format that doesn't run in K6?
