    UPGRADE FROM KONTAKT 6 to KONTAKT 7

    A - Some icons missing for some libraries in Kontakt 7

    C - No icon and no sound preview for Custom Libraries in Kontakt 7

    Kontakt 7 is a great improvement to the previous generations because of the ability to preview. That will greatly help those who use it standalone. The new library upgrade is welcomed as well.

    Thoughts on Library v2:

    Bass Clarinet has been removed completely. That was a great instrument. Also there is now no Strings patch so no quick sketching, or for those that like to layer it with a piano in pop. That's gone too.

    I also don't like the way that the beats have been categorised.

    I liked the World category as it was too.

    On the plus side, it looks pretty.

    I've gone back to version 1 of the library (for now).

    I like the new browser feature. I actually haven't used Kontakt a lot, I use Komplete Kontrol more. The reason is I like the KK browser. I think the new interface will be good for people that have a lot of Kontakt libraries, helping them find the right right sounds. Even if I know what I want, anything to quicken the search is appreciated, and I think this will help.

    Kontakt 7 is only available as VST3, but Reason doesn't support VST3 yet.

    The bundle is awesome! Love the Orchestral Tools library!!👍👍. The only problem that I have is how to adjust the key switches of the articulations. It’s too low and out of range to my 88 keys keyboard. I was looking on the settings and reading the manual but to no avail.

    I’ve noticed a few new things that might be bugs. This is for Mac in Big Sur:

    1) I can’t open quick load anymore by right clicking or in my case 2 finger click w/trackpad. I can open by the menu still.

    2) K7 seems to steal Logic’s transport if it’s in the foreground and is selected. I think Komplete Kontrol might also do this now too.

    Lots of cool new stuff to explore so overall I like it!

    Well - I upgraded to 14 and didn't even realise the deal included the new Kontakt.

    I've got a very fast fibre connection but the delays in the system still mean a long, long download - this sadly is normal - Spitfire downloads, by comparison are much quicker - so much so that you can do a few things while you wait. This one meant going to bed to discover and error had stopped the download.


    Once done, the extra sounds I fancied were exactly what I expected. Kontakt started in the new browser view which I instantly hated and until I watched a YouTube video I could not work out how to restore the previous appearance. Nice to click on things and hear the exams files play. I quite like that. No issues with the installation on Windows 10 - all went smoothly and the first few attempts to run it gave me a strange screen display breakup, but this seems now to have gone? No idea. The trouble with the upgrades is that you need to watch the prices. Sometimes it's better to hang on till the price works for you, as it did this time. Loads of stuff I don't want - but that's how these things are. enough to justify the price. I like it.

    I'm running 550 or so plugins including 50 odd NI products and Kontakt 7 (player) is the only one that doesn't run on my main desktop system. I'm not seeing any major upgrade in sound performance on the desktop I do have it working on. The recommendation from NI support was to purchase a new graphics card. I'd rather spend that money on plugins personally. So, I am underwhelmed, and I suppose I'm now looking at other software houses with more efficient plugins for future purchases. A very rare definite miss for NI imo.

    Can Komplete Kontrol save Kontakt 7 multis now, or is that still a no no like Kontakt 6?

    It is baffling. No question a whole lotta people are simultaneously wondering about this. NI have slowly improved the Massive X browsing experience (though still no User folders) and I guess they'll sort K7 but meanwhile - in spite of new content - I'm kinda underwhelmed.

    This rescaling issue needs a proper and simple explanation on how to rescale the window and text at the same time; In simple terms that a puppy like me can understand! We paid the money, got the great product...so where is the professional support? Many people probably read this forum, have the same issue but perhaps have lost faith in the value of responses on here?
