kontakt 8 is such a mess

the new side panel browser is a welcome edition but its pretty useless without tags lol. its like the old style browser from kontrol 2.9 but not quite. we have to use the library tab to browse by type which makes the side panel pretty redundant. what was the point?

double clicking on a sample now loads in leap, this is so annoying, please at least have an option to create new instrument like previous versions before leap did. i know we can use classic view as standard but then the side panel browser doesnt work.

browsing presets using komplete kontrol kmk3 previous/next buttons still has a lag. so annoying again. please can ni add an auto load feature like maschine has, then we can use qwerty up/down to cycle thru presets quickly (unfortunately with no tags)

there are so many different ways to browse presets but none are efficient. ni really need to hire a power user to oversee their developers

Yeah I think I counted at least 6 different ways of browsing in Kontakt but all of them have limitations

I like the Quickload browser best because it works efficiently with NI and third party libraries and allows preset swapping from the header but that was never updated to support snapshots and has no tagging (also if NI drop Classic view that will be gone)

The Library browser does have limited older third party library import but it’s clunky and you can’t tag or reorganise content

As you say the side browser is the most efficient in many respects and does enable drag and drop of samples into instruments but lacks tagging and has the same limitations as the library browser with regard to older third party libraries
