Kontakt 7 player is already available in Native Access - anyone tried it yet ?

[Yan Filiatrault]

Thomann seems to have the best upgrade price to K14 UCE  for those that don’t want to wait (around 400$)

Simon, I never meant to make you feel bad about the aids thing, let's make amends ?

Kontakt libraries will look like Hollywood film posters from now on?

Yeah.  GUI Fonts still way too small.....

Oddly enough I can't find any discernable differences in graphic quality between Kontakt 6 and Kontakt Player 7. See the attached image below. Where are the much touted graphic improvements?  Interesting that my libraries requiring full Kontakt  are loading just fine into Kontakt Player 7.

 

Kontakt 6 vs. 7.tif

I guess it’s the first time I won’t upgrade (from KU13CE) …

K7 landed with a "thud".

I believe the only difference is in the browser - not in Kontakt itself !

are your 'requiring full kontakt' libraries timing out after 20 minutes ?

Maybe it's just the base Kontakt UI and for the Library UI elements, the developer has to update them with high res graphics?

Still find it fascinating that they went from closed Alpha testing to release in 3,5 months.

Mine load but the GUI shows that it's in DEMO mode.

Omnia Choir? Nah, got EastWest for that and Soniccouture as an alternative 

Lores? Nah, got so many alternatives, especially the Augmented ones from Arturia and UVI, as well as the Spitfire eDNA engine

Knif Audio Knifonium? Good one but got it from PA

bx_console Focusrite SC? Good one but got it from PA

KONTAKT 7? Nah. Milking it. 

Ozone 10 Standard? Nah. Milking it.
