Hello, I have a typical use case - a Kontakt library with a lot of presets in individual nki files and I'm trying to find the one that I like.
There are few ways how to browse them, but non of them seems to be ideal:
1. Rack view - Libraries menu - no keyboard support, no preview, have to click on every nki manually, takes some time to load, no full kontakt libraries
2. Rack view - Files menu - keyboard works, can use arrows and load by Enter, but it still takes some time to load, there is an Audiotion strip with Play/Auto buttons, but doesn't work for nki files, and also I need to browse the file system manually
3. Quick view - keyboard works (only sometimes), but focus is lost after selecting a file, no audition, takes time to load, limited to its own directory structure
4. Arrows directly in the instrument window - no keyboard support, can only move to the previous/next library, still need to wait for loading, but at least i can click and check without moving a mouse
5. Library view - no keyboard support, audition on click works without loading full library (so Kontakt supports this, but only here!!!), files from subdirectories are mixed together and there is no clear way to browse a directory structure, full kontakt libraries need to be explicitly imported
Currently I'm using a combination of this all, but it's far from perfect and sometimes quite annoying. Is there any better way?
My preferred solution would be - rack view Libraries menu with a keyboard support (as in Files menu) , audition preview (as in library view) and with support for full Kontakt libraries (as in Files menu). Do I want too much?
