I talked with Eduardo a couple years ago and he mentioned his new library would be using the new Engine 3 player but that time came and went with no new update to the GUI. I am wondering what is causing the delays at this point because it's a solid player; it just REALLY needs a new GUI.

Welcome back, Larry.

That's one of the reasons I like being able to keep Kontakt 5 installed on it's own. I will likely keep both 5 and 6 installed once I do upgrade to 7.

I honestly don't see any reason to update yet. It took years for companies to really start making anything for Kontakt 6 that didn't use Player. Many companies are still developing their libraries using Kontakt 5. I'd personally say give it a year or so before spending the money because chances are, there isn't going to be much worth upgrading for.

No, you're right. I was in the wrong for making that public. I've been considering removing the ban on their company for a while and what I felt was a shot towards our community made me make a bad judgment call and I accept that.

I tried to send one and it said you do not accept them. None the less, I do apologize for the public shot. Our issues are not public ones though understand I did feel you were intentionally making a shot at my community. Please send me a DM here since it's obviously an issue for me to send one and I'll respond.

His post was an obvious shot fired at me for various reasons. I fired back. In fact, the reason I took it down was because I was sending a DM to try to bury the hatchet. Unfortunately, he does not accept DMs so... *shrug* If he wants to talk out our issues we obviously have with each other, I'm open to it. He knows where to find me.

Thanks for the mention. It's currently run by my manager while I'm working on a film score but I'm still very present in the process. Like many others, we're also working on a new, game changing website that will turn the industry upside down. /s It should be up shortly. We want to make sure everything is working properly before we launch so there are no unnecessary surprises. I'll be sure to post when it's up.

Based on what I saw in the email, this looks to be more along the lines of something like Loopcloud, ADSR Sample Manager, Cosmos, etc. though could be more like MPC or Maschine.

In this case, it's expected. These are plugin versions of synths that are in their current hardware lineup that sell for $800 each. I actually really like this idea. I got rid of a lot of my hardware synths years ago; many of them were Korg, because I didn't want to keep taking up space with them. This gives me the ability to have their current synths at a fraction of the cost and no loss of space other than on my hard drive.

Biggest release they've done in a while and you guys thought it would be a smooth transition? Are you guys new or something? I'm kidding, give it some time. Their servers are getting blasted right now and probably will be for the next few days but they will get everything sorted and everyone will get their upgrades.

I have a similar site going up soon in a different format. Will update when it's closer to completion.

IK support has always been rubbish, imo. They do everything in their power to be as unhelpful as they can including blaming the customer for the issues they are having. There is little to no accountability with them. I never recommend them to anyone and refuse to post them anywhere because of their anti-consumer practices. They are well aware; they just don't care. Plenty of better products out there now.
