NI Scarbee Vintage Electric Keys

[Peakly]

I haven't used my Receptor for about 8 months, so I'm a little out of shape...

Can I use the Native Instruments Scarbee Vintage Electric Keys in my Receptor 2? I see that I've got Kontakt 3 in my Receptor, and I think I need Kontakt 5 to run the Vintage Keys. Is it simple to download Vintage Keys to the Receptor and make it work?

Thanks for any help!

I still have a Windows computer with Komplete 4 (Kontakt 2) installed, and I have an old version of Scarbee Vintage Keys that works with that Kontakt 2. I'm pretty sure this was back when Scarbee wasn't affiliated with Native Instruments, but if you could find a used or "New-Old-Stock" version of this it would certainly work with your Kontakt 3. I don't think the current NI Vintage Keys will work with anything before Kontakt 4.

This does bring up the question of whether Kontakt 5 is going to be user or Direct-installable in the Receptor 2 before a Komplete 8 installer is made available. LASS 2 is about to be released which will be Kontakt 5 only. I'm sure other 5 only libraries will follow.

I had Komplete 8 installed on my Receptor when I bought it.

Vintage keys does work, but Kontakt 3 does not - it doesn't let you load anything on it. I think I read something about this issue on plugorama... you may need to do some internet trawling , depending on whether its the same for you...
