@Jade81 All your comments were forwarded to the team, thanks for the input, about point 6, this is a known bug and is being worked on, hopefully fixed in a future update. @sunbambino

Great - thank you, Jeremy! ✌️

K7 was a thoughtful update with more room for growth.

The browser is much welcomed IMHO.

Resized text would be nice when stretched.

If it could recognize Maschine Expansions I would never have to leave the program.

If it would light my Komplete keyboard, that would be great as well.

Not at present - NI has said Native UI (Hi res, not necessarily scable yet) is in beta, I think internally at present, so this is something to look forward to in new instruments, I would say.

Just got the update of NA 2.7.0 and found an entry of K7 player I don’t want.

How can I delete an entry in NA? There are more than one:

K6 player, K7 player, Controller Editor, DrumMic’a, Guitar Rig 5 Factory Selection (Oops I’ve never ordered the GR5 player), Kontakt Factory Selection.

I've got the Kore Sounds. For what, please. The Kore player is discontinued. So I can't use the .ksd - or is there another ways to convert Kore (.ksd) to another instrument?

Here is no hardware made by NI.

EDIT:

The same question by another user is here:

Apologies if this has already been adressed, but is anyone else having this weird thing happen when you simply load Kontakt 7 as a software instrument/MIDI and you can't play/pause (spacebar) in your playback in your DAW? I noticed a short workaround is to toggle the Library view, and then it starts working again, but then if I make an adjustment (in w/e loaded Kontakt plugin I'm using), it starts behaving like that again and I can't press my spacebar to play/pause. I have to physically click outside of the Kontakt 7 window somewhere in my DAW in order to regain control of playback. I've tried this in both LPX and Ableton and it does the same thing.

@strigi It's a known issue, the Kontakt team is aware of it and is working on a fix but we don't have an estimate yet on when this will get fixed.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but was right-click to open Quick Load removed from Kontakt 7? Whyyyyyyyyyy?

kurtv

And another thing: why does Native Access informs me Kontakt 7 player was successfully installed every time I open it or hit refresh button? Can this be stopped?

Same here! It's a bit annoying.

It also happens when NA installs any update (instead of notifying about that update being successful, it notifies that "Kontakt 7 Player was successfully installed" again).

I tried uninstalling Kontakt 7 Player (and the message stopped appearing after the uninstall), but after reinstalling it again, this issue returned.

Apologies if it's been covered, but I'm missing the control/click key command to bring up the quick load window in K7. Also, resizing the window, when it is up, is hit or miss. Sometimes I'm able to click and drag to increase the quick load window size, but quite often it's very small and I'm not able to pull it up further.
