I like the GUI.

I think Kontakt needs to (related things):

1. A better looking GUI
2. A more ergonomic, and intuitive workflow

I'm stuck at Kontakt 4 at the moment, but a Kontakt 6 with an improved GUI/workflow would be a no-brainer upgrade for me.

Mach Five has a much much better GUI and indeed workflow. Kontakt has so needed this aspect sorting- since Kontakt2 (which I liked).

Now that MachFive has given Kontakt the first genuine scare, maybe they will address this. Personally I'm bailing and feel I'm at the same stage I was when I first bought Kontakt 1.0........ but now I own MachFive- and it's time for a new journey.

Hopefully Kontakt 6 will have a completely, new, modern, and much more efficient, and enjoyable GUI to look at, and work with, improved workflow features, and LARGER FONTS for an average human eye !

Talk about fonts, Independence Pro has the most annoying font and maybe smallest to look at, and they also need to re-design their GUI. (Larger GUI, more colors, LARGER FONTS, and improved workflow feature too.

I like the M1 legacy GUI. Everything you need where you need it without having that stupid side bar come up along the side like in the kontakt player

I'd like every effect able to be run standalone, outside the Kontakt or Guitar Rig interface. It makes many things easier, from mapping controllers to default parameters for each effect in Reaper to easier effect navigation.

I'd like my encoder acceleration to work on NI plugins. From Guitar Rig to the new Passive EQ, using relative mode renders impossibly slow turn speeds from my control surface, despite encoder acceleration settings that work perfectly on all my other plugins in the same mode.

I'd like those bigger fonts, larger tooltips, and larger interface elements. I'd like a window that doesn't take up my entire second monitor and still can give me all the important information.

I'd love a prettier, easier to read preset system in the left browser window.

Are you serious?
I found out about this.

Now I'm looking into learning Kontakt Scripting.
You guys are wasting your time with GUI updates, try looking at expanding Kontakt with scripting.
