Just a word of caution regarding the update to Kontakt 7.6.1 from 7.6.0. On the NI forum many are experiencing high CPU loads and other anomalies. And i have experienced the following. There was an update to the Play series Glaze and Melted Vibes to 2.0.0 plus the Kontakt update. So I updated Kontakt to 7.6.1 and the Play series to 2.0.0 Kontakt then said when I tried to import both of these just to see what was different. Stated my version of kontakt was to old ?????? And unable to use them. The solution is to download from NI a retrograde to 7.6.0 This fixes the cpu issues and strangely enough both the updated Play series open in 7.6.0 The retrograde to K7.6.0 is available here if you need it https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/17691/kontakt-7-6-1-update-causes-cpu-spikes-crashes

I just d/loaded it. And it's good. I did a demo of the original Xperiments which they used to illustratethe instrument, and it is very similar. They went off the radar recently. And now it seems to be a one man operation. For a freebie on Kontakt (not player) it has potential with lots of twiddling available.

I suspect that is what is occurring (subscription). They need to make it clear I think. And for me it proves that subscription (in particular with IKM) would be a no-no.

I'm confused by this pop-up when signing out on V1.0.8 . Sounds ominous. Will I loose my activated products?

Have to say I was disappointed with this. After trying it for a couple of hours it was deleted unfortunately. Much prefer Vital as it is more immediate and graphically useable for a novice.

Updated this weekend and Analog Dreams, Etheral Earth and Hybrid keys will now only open in K7.6 and not K6. NI did not specify it would do this as far as I know. be aware anything using the above Play Series that was conceived in K6 can no longer be opened in K6. And must have K7.6

I tried a number of times today to post in Firefox and was unable . Just logged in now and can. weird!

Here in the UK. Many house builders will not have a No13 house due to suspicion (and nobody buying No13)

Wow it certainly is. Tons of atics here. Will try and see how it fits with the Jon Meyer Woven Strings at Pianobook https://www.pianobook.co.uk/packs/woven-strings/

Virtual Orchestration is a YT channel from Berklee and OT. The YT page has a download link to a Kontakt (full,6) set of cello artics as shown in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1UxB1UpXlA

Thanks. Yes that's exactly what is on my screen.

Ok. Something is up. I cannot login with NA2. It just says it will not start. But had no problems yesterday or last couple of weeks. Are they blocking access ? Anyone else with the issue ?

Good Grief that was a wild ride. I think NI will honour their own software (I saved £60 more than the summer of sound sale on the update to K14U - Installed!). But third party items look a bit sticky particularly U-he stuff with regards to his statement. I was sorely tempted but stuck to the one purchase.

Same here. My upgrade to K13U in the summersale last year was £170 ish. so foolish not to leap on this. And I was going to leave it this year !

NI are offering large discounts across the board. Juat picked up K14U update for £120 ! Some independant VI have been slashed along with keyboards. https://www.native-instruments.com/en/

I've RX7 Elements as well. And the standalone part is essential. I was tempted by this but rather like some of the recent iterations of Elements. They seem to be less expansive then expected (I know they are cut down versions but the new ones seem pared to the bone).

I bought a boxed version of ST2.5XL years ago (that was a difficult interface!). And moving to Windows 10 trashed it. So installed ST3/4 CS and used the 2.5 samples in the new interface. Agree the new interface is poor. I use only a couple of sounds. And prefer the diversity and the ability to expand cheaply or for free of Kontakt. I'm not sure that even at this price it is a long term viable product.

Thank you very much. That fixed it. Very much appreciated.

Don't forget the hundreds of free prestes at both KVR and Rekkerd. I have all the original DX/TX etc prestes in FM8 and it is easy to import/convert. https://rekkerd.org/patches/plug-in/fm7-fm8/ https://www.kvraudio.com/banks.php?s=list&products[]=fm8-by-native-instruments&order=date

I've just updated my BBCSO Discover from 1.5.0 to 1.7.0 (thru the Spitfire portal). Cakewalk says it failed to load (80004002) and is visible in the vst scanner both VST3/2 and says the Vst 3 may not be loaded correctly. It loads fine in Studio One Artist and in Komplete Kontrol. Never had an issue with this before, So a bit stuck what to do as I use it a fair bit. Anyone else have an issue?

Same for me. Had to revert back to 16.07

Well that was weird. I d/loaded from 16.07 to 16.08. Ran the installer (VST3) it placed the folders into the Program Files/Common files /VST3 and every folder was empty. Tried a second time with same result. Reinstalled 16.07 and all was back. No idea why.

Yep. Works, and easy download (though a bit slow)

Picked it up this morning and instantly started writing once I dragged my own samples in. The three modes are useful (dragging the start bar is a bit sticky). But good potential.

Stefano has put up more free presets for Elements - Action Kit. You'll need the full version of Kontakt of course. D/load link is on the YT promo for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK3Q9oLOfjs
