Kontakt 7 Window state

Reber Clark

Hello, Windows 10, Cubase Pro 12. In my templates the Kontakt 7 window state is not saved. How do I make Kontakt 7 retain the configuration I set? Thanks.

SOLVED. In the Workspace area select "Save view settings as default" Duh.

The latest Kontakt 7.7.0 has just been released, and the “Display fullscreen browser when launching new rack view” setting in the Options/Interfaces menu still doesn’t do what it is pretending to.

My understanding of “fullscreen” is not that the K7 standalone application is just opening the browser with a (currently still limited) window size which developers seem to have hardcoded before to reflect a kind of arbitrary maximum that may not be exceeded. For me „fullscreen“ really means what it actually is, namely filling up the whole screen with available content without having to adapt any „Zoom“ factor settings manually. The clear customer request is to display as much browser content as possible on the monitor, and not showing very limited content by just using larger icons and fonts.

Why does a user always have to drag the window to a „fullscreen“ view manually after startup, even though it has been explicitly set in the preferences to happen automatically? What prevents NI’s developers to let users set a real „Default View“ which can be saved and automatically recalled the next time the application is supposed to open in „fullscreen“ mode?

And the next step should be to implement that same simple stuff in KK3.x as well, along with the highly requested „parallel view“ of both, browser window + plugin window. Sorry, but that can’t be that difficult. You’d only have to read out the current screen resolution and apply the application’s window size accordingly.

Please NI, jump over your own shadow and finally listen to user requests. Maybe this could be implemented in your next application release already. Thank you.
