Session Guitarist Picked Acoustic compatibility issue with Kontakt

AndreBlais

I went to use Session Guitarist Picked Acoustic - have used it before but now it wants Kontakt 7 or higher? What the...? Even the product page shows it requires Kontakt 6.6 or higher? How much longer before my other libraries stop being compatible? I eventually planned on upgrading but man, every time I go to use something by NI I am hit with some kind of roadblock to creativity... It's to the point I just want to sell my Komplete license and say forget it and move on to something better!

It's probably been updated through Native Access and the latest versions have been updated to work with the new keyboards. You can download the older versions of libraries here - Previous versions of recently updated Kontakt libraries / compatibility with K6 older libraries — Community (native-instruments.com)

Thanks a lot Mike! I really appreciate this. I did also contact NI support and they were equally gracious in providing me with a solution.

I regret being so frustrated in how I communicated my dissatisfaction both here as well as with NI's support team, but I can't help but feel there is an inordinate amount of glaring oversights in how Native Access behaves. Especially when you consider the amount of money spent on these libraries.

It's hard to understand why libraries that I already own, yet are incompatible with the version of Kontakt I'm using, are forced onto me via Native Access.

No one is forcing you to upgrade. If you choose to stay with K6 then use both the K6 versions of Native Access and Kontakt.

@AndreBlais have you had success downloading this library? My download keeps failing not long before the finish line. (3 times)

I get that but here's the problem: once I download all the files that apply to the products I own from the links that were sent to me by support at this link, here's what my Native Access looks like:

I'll give it to NI, their Support staff respond quickly so I really appreciate that, but NI Access has long been a buggy ol' mess and experiences like this just don't help with that perception.

Hey @Jojo123, I did indeed manage to download this (and other libraries) from this link that was sent to me from support.

@AndreBlais - OK thanks for that.
