Wow- what garbage did I just purchase? Spent a ton of money with Native Instruments and after 10 years of being an audio professional this is the WORST software I've ever used. I can't even begin to list the amount of strange behavior/bugs that I've encountered so far after ONE day of trying to work with all these new products. You do the same thing multiple times and get different results- that is the description of a bug.

Kontakt 7 library totally broke on me after 10 minutes:
I had Kontakt 6. Everything worked fine. I purchased and updated to Kontakt 7 for hopes of a resizable browser (learned lesson the hard way- thanks NI). But Kontakt 7 at least worked. I was using the version within Logic Pro. I tinkered around in it, learned its new interface and began to add some custom libraries through the settings wheel in the left corner. Some showed up, some didn't. So- as instructed- did the batch resave on the libraries that didn't show up and that worked just fine, too. Ok cool.
Since I just spent a ton on an S61 mk2 I got that running with Kontakt 7 as well. But quickly learned the light-bed only works with Komplete Kontrol. So I opened Kontakt 7 INSIDE Komplete Kontrol INSIDE Logic, and now my normal Kontakt 7 in Logic (not inside Komplete Kontrol) does nothing in the library. It's completely and totally frozen. It shows everything I had installed and running before- meaning all the libraries and presets as well as custom libraries. But clicking on literally anything does nothing. Nothing loads. Nothing interacts. It's just the Kontakt graphics on the screen. Discovered that if I manually load a new library it works. But going back to the library tab just allows me to click around with nothing actually happening on the screen.
I tried deleting the standalone application and reinstalling from scratch in Native Access. Takes me back to where I was before- graphics are all there and even the custom libraries- but nothing loads. I also noticed that if I click the settings wheel again in the corner for content import- the custom folders no longer show up under the word "Folder". See attached screenshot for examples of all this.

NI I hope you're reading this and have MAJOR fixes in store for this software. Definitely released when it's not ready and you're taking people's money. Pretty upset customer, with a wide range of audio professional contacts/connections and I am more than happy to share my experience with all them. F-
