That company already lost my trust screwing around with their "player" and content breaking things, I don't want to risk wasting yet more time making unfinishable songs with anything else they come up with.

At least this is "just" Kontakt Player.

While true, I just remember all the things that they gave away originally as sounds, that kept disappearing as they took them away, but I was using them in projects and then the projects became garbage because without those specific sounds they were useless (I create based on the actual sound, not necessarily the notes/etc; the exact sound of something is essential to what I make).   Same thing for changing how other then-still-extant sounds worked, so that they didn't play the same way anymore and required a complete rework of the entire project to fix, for those that *could* be fixed, where the sound could still be made to sound the same way (some couldn't).  And that happened multiple times during the couple of years I tried to live with their stuff.  

So I just imagine them coming up with some way of making forced updates to this new discover version that does this kind of thing, and just can't risk wasting my time on it.   (and would like to be sure others that don't want this sort of risk are aware of the company's history so they don't get "painted into a corner").

still amazed how their first version sounds great under 400mb.

I think that're the two directions, one traditonal is focued on the sampled sound with huge file size, the other is modeled digital sound with tiny file size.

The modern advanced computer has a strong CPU, what prefer the tiny digital type which is easy to use and cost much less memory and storage.
