Kontakt 7 so loooooong to initialize
Hi,
For months now, Kontakt 7 is a pain to use, as it takes ages (like 2 or 3 minutes) to initialize. This is not only for first launch ; Kontakt is goofy every time I'd like to access the plugin GUI in the same session or if I jump from on VSTi to another.
I've managed to improve loading time by disabling Multicore CPU support in the standalone application.
In plugin mode, it helps a little but it's still unacceptably long.
I'd like to have information about the consequences of this mono-core behaviour. Am I supposed to load less instruments in a rack and use multiple instances of Kontakt instead?
FYI I've also set graphics mode to "best performance" but it doesn't seems to help.
Thanks for your feedback,
Julien

I'm on Windows so I don't know if this applies in your world, but I found a LOT of my problems with long loading and download times related to real time virus protection schemes. After I figured out how to turn those off when I'm working with NI libraries and DAWs, my response times were cut by more than half. I don't leave them off, it's only when working in my studio environment.
I don't know if there's something similar in your Mac environment, but it may be something to look at.

I have noticed that if I load a single empty Kontakt instance before opening a [Cubase] project. loading time seems to improve on subsequent tracks loading Kontakt instances. Maybe some common Kontakt settings are initially loaded into a memory cache which makes the subsequent loads quicker.

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback.
I took the time to test DunedinDragon theory about the antivirus protection. Unfortunately, this doesn't improve Kontakt's launch time.
It is important to say that Kontakt 7 used to work fine before the 7.9/7.10 goofiness everyone's talking about on these forums.
