There was an error rendering this rich post.

I quite like Kontakt 8 in most regards. But, I am finding myself still using Kontakt 7 quite a bit, solely because of one issue.

I still think that there's a problem with the documentation, which actually doesn't say this, but at least I can now operate the darned thing!
