Native Instruments updates Kontakt to v7.3.0 and Reaktor to v6.5.0 (incl. Apple Silicon & VST3)

18th April 2023

Native Instruments has released updates for Kontakt and Reaktor.

Kontakt 7.3.0 features new features for instrument builders, and bug fixes:

Added: Option to snap sample start and end to zero crossing in Wave Editor.
Improved: Selecting one of the loop snapping modes in the Wave Editor is now global for the instrument instead of per zone.
Improved: Any change in Options dialog is now stored immediately after closing the dialog instead of after exiting Kontakt.
Fixed PsycheDelay and Ring Modulator Info Pane help texts were mostly missing.
Improved: KSP in_range() command now also works with real expressions.
Improved: KSP Added optional arguments to sort() command which allows sorting only a range of the array instead of the whole array.
Fixed KSP Script warning for get_mod_idx() and get_target_idx() commands now correctly refers to the names of those commands.

Reaktor 6.5.0 includes Apple Silicon compatibility, VST3 support and more:

Added: Apple Silicon compatibility for ARM processor based Macs.
Added: Compatibility for MacOS 13 Ventura.
Added: VST3 Target.
Added: Automatic migration from VST2 to VST3 of Maschine projects and projects using Komplete Kontrol.
Added: Reaktor 5 to 6 migration for Cubase, Maschine and Komplete Kontrol Host Chunks.
Fixed Several Issues related to compatibility.

Fixed CRASH on deleting a module while being in its label edit mode.
Fixed MAC: Core Context Menu entries not sorted.
Fixed 30 minute demo mechanism for encoded blocks not working.
