But then I won't even be able to tell the two apart in my DAW: Kontakt vs. But then when libraries start coming out for V.7, I might again want to wait to upgrade, and to use the free Kontakt Player 7 to play those libraries until *I* choose to upgrade.

But if I understand it correctly, let's say that I *do* upgrade to Kontakt 6. It's kind of funny, actually, in that it *almost* helps me distinguish the two right now: Kontakt 5 vs. Do you now see my problem with their naming protocol? And that's totally cool.īut my problem is that they named the "Kontakt Player" as "Kontakt", as well. And I guess you're saying that they made that change when V.6 of Kontakt came out. Makes total sense the way you describe it above. I can totally understand keeping the application name simple and w/o the version number. We now return you to your regularly scheduled forum browsing.Ĭlick to expand.Thank you, Profound. But that aside, I just feel that this was a bonehead move on NI's part, and I wanted to share my frustration. They could've helped me avoid the whole issue by just naming it what everybody in the world calls the damn thing: Kontakt Player.Īnd yes, I'm aware that I could also solve my dilemma by upgrading to Kontakt 6 and getting rid of the Player entirely. From orchestral string staccatos and brass clusters to symphonic percussion and dystopian sound design. But really, it's stupendously easy to not distinguish between the two, especially since there are *6* versions of each clotting up my Add Instrument Track menu (for mono, stereo, etc.). One solid gigabyte of free, cinematic sounds taken directly from ProjectSAM’s acclaimed libraries. But - and here's my vent - why the heck didn't NI name that player application so that it appears as "Kontakt Player"? I mean, I know the deal now, so hopefully I'll remember to choose "Kontakt 5" from now on when I need it instead of "Kontakt". So yeah, it turns out that I just chose the wrong instrument when I added those tracks. and discover that (in DP, at least) when I add a new instrument track, my Kontakt 5 is still there, but now Kontakt Player is a new available option *under the name* "Kontakt". I don't know how Kontakt Player opened instead of Kontakt, but I investigate a little bit. Which means, of course, that some of my VIs won't load into it.

only to discover that it's not Kontakt 5 that opened, but my new install of Kontakt Player 6, instead. I open up a few instrument instances of Kontakt and run with it.
So I open up DP and start a fresh new project.

But hey, smart me, I realized that I can download the newer version of the free Kontakt Player and use that for those libraries. I've recently purchased a few libraries that require Kontakt 6 which I don't yet have. I have Kontakt 5 which I usually run in DP 9. But I discovered something stupid and annoying, and I want to vent. And maybe one of you will be able to point me to a perfectly good solution that I didn't know about, or maybe I'll just learn to live with it. Sorry in advance, but I just need to let off a little steam tonight.
