My impression is that idea is to make updates that help selling more products , not updates that make old users happy about basic things
You're absoloutely right. See my comment above. They are updating existing Kontakt libraries for no other reason than to remove compatability with older versions of Kontakt and therefore, forcing people to upgrade if they want to keep using their NI Kontakt libraries. Extremely dishonest.
NI has followed that blueprint for years. Same with waves audio. A big reason why I don't use their products.@@TheDeathBeatsOfficial
Can't believe they didn't add a resizable UI in rack view. This should be priority number one.
At the very least add support for higher resolution screens. Some 3rd party libraries UI's are almost unreadable.
Hey! Currently our Factory Library 2 is resizable, and we'll implement this feature in more products soon. Feel free to read more about that here: bit.ly/3E1sqDZ
@@NativeInstruments That's good. but I don't use the factory library too much. Text is pixelated everywhere, the rack view browser, the libraries UI, even the Kontakt logo and icons on the top menu bar are so grainy on my MacBook. Other VST's I have look so sharp and crisp on my high resolution screen but when I'm putting on Kontakt I'm immediately in a bad mood, squinting and frowning.
@@NativeInstruments It’s almost 2023, all VST instrument GUI’s should be resizable as standard. I want to see my Grandeur or Playbox etc etc nice snd big on my screen. I’m sure you can do it NI 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for everything, Native.
Just don't click on the edit button, or you'll be transported back to 1991
It is a society of appearance and first impressions only, what are you doing here
LOOL
That’s why they removed the edit button from the factory library content.
I’m 60 .. that wouldn’t be such a bad thing :-)
😅😊@@emanuel_soundtrack 😊😅😮😮😅😊r
It would also be helpful to be able to change the font size of the menus.
I agree, it drive me crazy !
Native Instruments takes the wheel again. Love it
this should be available as a free update for all contact 6 users, nothing more then a ui makeover and some new patches for a high upgrade price
speaking of UI updates, when if ever we get a well overdue vectorial Ui's for massive,absynth 5 and fm8?
If you regard it as less value than the price, don't buy. It really is that easy.
@@schragemusik but then new libraries coming out will only run on Kontakt 7. I guess Kontakt player will come out soon enough for the people hit with inflation.
Definitely not absynth, it's been discontinued sadly
I am so thankful for this playlist
The Acoustic demo reminded me of the music from the movie "A Thousand Years of Longing"!
Love this new Interface 🔥🔥🔥
I've not yet updated to Kontakt 7 as it dropped quite soon after I paid for the Kontakt 6 update which was annoying. I wasn't keen on shelling out another £100 for an update that didn't seem to offer very much. Anyway, I purchased a couple of new Kontakt libraries from Native Instruments over the weekend which ran in Kontakt 6 just fine. Today those libraries updated and in the release notes I find that they have now removed compatability for those libraries with Kontakt 6. I've had them for three days and now I have to pay another £100 if I want to be able to use them properly. Another issue I have with Native Instruments products right now is the fact that Battery and Kontakt interfaces do not scale which makes them very difficult to use on a 4k screen. I've fixed this problem however, by switching to Togu Audio Line's Drum and Sampler, both of which have scalable interfaces and use less CPU and RAM than Battery and Kontakt.
yeah NI is notorious for that. A good reason to avoid this company
Upgrade shows 49 euro in my browser at the moment
Wow, that was really nice!
Incredible!
Yes the new browser is beautiful, but why the other parts of the UI are still blurry with low DPI......
The words on it is not only ugly but also hard to read for me
This was gold
Amazing!!!!!
looks like a great upgrade
awsome may have to get the komplete upgrade.
Whoa! I wonder what’s coming to Komplete Kontrol!
Fabulous! But we need 'Load and Replace"! Adding/stacking instruments with omni or icremental midi channels into the same instance of Kontakt is fine and all, but hardly the most common use case. Am i right ppl? :D
Drag an instrument on to an existing instrument and it gets replaced using the same midi channel.
@@Rialas We know, but we want to double-click an instrument that replaces the current one.
Yeah that definitely should be the default behavior
Hi ConfuZen,
simply highlight the pin on the right of the searchbar, and make sure that this is the small square that is highlight after the panels icon, and there you have it,
you can double-click any sound, it will replace the previous one.
Hope that helps.
@@opooly Thanks for that. Wasn't sure what the small/large square was for. Now able to choose sounds without ascending midi channels.
I LOVE the Drag and Drop feature for Beats. Can we PLEASE, Please, Please have Drag and Drop for all Guitars?
Native Instruments,
Could you please make an update for kontakt factory library 2 (please add palm muted guitar to the band collection)
P.s. This library is amazing!
Gonna buy it around Nov/Dec of 2022!
I have the pleasure of Kontakt 7 Player. I can't wait for the full version, impressive.
Wowzers
Fonts in the setting windows are still unreadable on high resolution monitors.
RESIZABLE SCREAN!!!!!! Finally 😌
I'm really unsure about the new browser... right now I have everything nicely grouped together which makes it very easy for me to find the instruments I want to work with; the instrument is my starting point and not necessarily a preset or sound. This seems impossible in the new browser; can you still apply manual sequence of instruments?
Amazing. Really appreciate the updated GUI for legacy instruments and synths, also scalable DPI!!! Thanks NI!
Of the browser ONLY at the moment, not the GUI in general! My number #1 hatred of this platform. Sure it will happen with 'time'.
@@kevinhay8076 terrible
You had me at RESIZABLE. FINALLY!!!
Sorry, it's a marketing lie. Kontakt UI is not scalable. There's just a new scalable browser. So, yes. They had you (me as well).
Native Instruments is goated
Can we have a definitive reason as to why the Kontakt VST interface still is not scaleable? The interface doesn't seem to have improved in any meaningful way in many many years. Have you even tried using it in a 2K+ environment?
New libraries like Choir:Omnia and the Factory Library 2 are HiDPI. Converting older libraries to high resolution interface requires a significant amount of resource and we cannot commit to any timeline on this yet.
@@NativeInstruments It's not JUST about converting older libraries though! The mapping editor, sample editor are all really tiny with tiny text!
@@Henry_Crun - Exactly. They always give the same canned answer, they deflect and ignore the criticism of their Win98 VST UI under the hood and pretend we’re asking about individual library skins.
edit for sp
@@NativeInstruments - He wasn’t asking about any “Library Interface” and you know it.
He’s asking about the actual Kontakt sampler interface. You know, the one that hasn’t been updated like…ever in its near 20 years of existence... 🤧
@@NativeInstruments pretty sure there referring to the archaic interface still lurking under this new paint job
I have Kontakt 6 full now.
So aside from the factory library, adding back third party NKS support (after removing it in 6), and some kind of competing browser that users of Kontakt 6 have now when running Kontakt instruments in Komplete Kontrol - what exactly is new?
ARM support? Scalable window? Light guide, arp, chord support for KK S series keyboards maybe?
I’m just not seeing why I’d spend $99 to update this to be honest. Great sampler for anyone who doesn’t have it yet, but I can’t see why I’d move from 6 for this.
Hey, Kontakt 7 already offers a native M1 support, and rest assured we're working on scalable window. For a full feature set, feel free to check out our online community here: bit.ly/3ru3GNR
@@NativeInstruments thanks - sorry, I misread the specs on the site where it refers to Rosetta 2. Quick question - did NI and Izotope look and compare accounts to see whether owners of Ultimate and CE already own Ozone with them? Pretty sure most owners of Ultimate and CE already have Ozone 9 Advanced (and RX for that matter), and so 10 standard wouldn’t be that much of a selling point to upgrade. Is any thought being made to make 10 Advanced part of Ultimate and CE and Ozone 10 Standard part of Komplete Standard?
Yes! You can can get an upgrade to Ozone 10 Advanced on our website. Here's how: bit.ly/3SH0WZi
Can someone clarify:
So now Kontakt 7 has a searchable database like Komplete?
Would it search all (full or free Player) Kontakt libraries or only free player ones?
I have been auditioning my sounds already using the komplete kontrol software. All my favorites are stored there, is it possible to migrate those favorites to Kontakt if I decide to go this route?
Komplete Kontrol and Kontakt 7 share the same favorites folder, so you should find them back when using K7 💪
@@NativeInstruments great, is there a way to transfer favorites from within an instrument browser to the general kontakt browser?
学生時代に作曲を始めて以来、一番使った音源がkontaktのfactory音源な気がする...ライブラリが一新されるとのことで私のこれからの曲の音色も同様に一新されると思います、あながち冗談じゃなくて
Please oh please give MIDI drag and drop for the various "guitar player / strummer" library patterns! I really need to be able to fine-tune edit the strum patterns, not just use them out of the box.
Does the 55 GB of sound library that ship with it include sax and brass? I do big-band cues and I’ve heard the sounds are fantastic but I can’t get a clear answer on if they are included with the purchase of the program. Thank you
I noticed when loading this new browser in FL Studio the top section of the plugin displays a corrupt image until the plugin loads. Not sure if thats FL Studio or the plugin but thought it was worth mentioning.
no
Yes 👍
Love the new UI! The instrument updates are great, too. :)
The UI’s look beautiful!! 👌🏾 This is how plugins should look in 2022
Black Friday 2023 can't get here fast enough!
there is a summer sale currently
be careful they might update to 8 and force you to pay for an upgrade to use the libraries
Is there a complete list of how many new factory samples there are? The Orchestral Tools stuff, the choirs, some new guitar patches, some new synths and drum machines and a few other things scattered around elsewhere?
You can access the new Factory Library's manual here: bit.ly/3CAkCsn 📖
*chior
Almost bit on the Cyber Season sale, but do not want to get burned when the new version of Kontact appears. This previously happened when mistakenly purchasing Studio One 5 right before 6 was announced, with Presonus determining I was not eligible for the upgrade. While Native Instruments and Presonus might make good software, both have very much to learn in how to respectfully treat customers.
Is there still a way to get the VSL version?
How hard is it to sort the ui scaling size? Making the browser scalable but not the actual ui of the instrument is why I've never bought Kontakt full. Font size changing is also a must, this is not 2013.
can you resize the window? I have a 4k laptop screen and Kontakt 6 comes up super small on my laptop. Do they have the option to expand the size of the plug-in to make it bigger on the screen now?
Hi! You can do that but only with the browser at the moment. Feel free to read more about that here: bit.ly/3DrbR2H
I‘m used to Kontakt 6 and before and can‘t tell you how much I hate to use the Kontakt 7 Player User Interface whenever I have to use Libraries that require version 7.
Hello from R2R :)
Supr ROCKIN ❤🎉😊
I laughed at 'industry leading' and couldn't stop.
Hi Team, just a quick question, I noticed that the vst is called "Kontakt 7.vst", so what if Kontakt 8 or 9 comes out (maybe called 8.vst or 9.vst... ), do I need to keep kontakt 7 ? because my projects are based on "Kontakt 7.vst"
It's probably more Kontakt 7.vst3, but yes, you need to keep it when a new version becomes available.
Hmmm. Komplete Kontrol already has a pretty good browsing experience, including Tags and custom Presets. i think i d be more willing to pay 25$ for a scaleable Komplete Kontrol GUI, then paying 100 for Kontakt.
Cool stuff. Any updates under the hood for builders?
Hey, you can find here a full release note for Kontakt 7 we shared in our online community: bit.ly/3s3biqS
Why did you delete the wonderful master volume button and master tag?
Do you plan on making a 8-String MIDI Guitar with 8 Strings with the features for Shreddage & Cabal 8
Hi, all that sounds nice, but do the instruments come included with Kontakt 7?
At 2:00 minute when opening the patch "AVENGER BASS" shouldn't we listen to it on top of the previous patch loaded "Abeyance"? When I try this it opens all the patches I click on the background... it's a mess!
When is the Battery 5 BTW?
Probably never
Komplete 13 Standard users have to purchase? Have installed Kontakt 7, but it still shows the old interface of the plugins/presets when using Kontakt 7. However, the little thumbnail on top of the plugin shows the newer version of the plugins/presets interface.
Factory Library and Choir: Omnia are the only products with the new HiDPI interface at the moment, but we'll roll this out to more products soon. Feel free to read more about that here: bit.ly/3ehnr8j
hang on I’ve been dragging and dropping MIDI clips from Kontakt into Ableton for about 10 years!
What is different about the same old instruments in Kontakt 7 that were in earlier versions? What is new in the new factory content samples? Are the older effects redone or are they about the same? I see there are new effects.
is there an voucher/upgrade period for users that bought kontakt 6 shortly before this came out?
Feel free to get in touch with our team to know if any grace period can be applied to you. You can contact us here: bit.ly/n1orders
Hi, I have a problem. Can you add an Ok/Cancel option in Native Access when I enter a new serial number? Sometimes I do not want to register a number, because I make a mistake, etc. and I see that it is not an instrument that I wanted to have on my account, but it is immediately already in my account and I can not delete it. Can you add this option in Native Access? Simply confirm the registration of the Yes or No new serial number.
Support wrote to me recently that this is already the case in the latest version of NA v3.5, and yet there is no such possibility. This is very important for us. Best regards.
Do you have to have just bought the standalone version of Kontakt 6 to get the upgrade option on the website? I have Komplete ultimate but it’s only giving me a crossgrade option from one of the other NI packages within ultimate. Is that right? Seems a bit mad if so!
Sorry to hear that! The update to Kontakt 7 should be available for you.
Please reach out to our webshop & orders specialists for this matter: bit.ly/n1orders
We will definitely help you with that 🙏
@@NativeInstruments thanks - they sorted it out for me :)
I am having an issue all of a sudden opening up kontakt in my daw. Every time I open it back up, it shows all my instruments using kontakt none of them will play without me unloading and loading back in the instrument which means it doesn’t save any of the changes I made on the instrument. Any reason it won’t load up ready to play? It even shows it’s playing on the meter but the sound isn’t playing until I load and unload it. A big hassle to do every time I open up my project to have to reload every single instrument.
That.... might actually be worth the update.
Kontakt wizards help! When using browser, sometimes it loads a new preset directly replacing old sound but sometimes it just stacks the new sound under previous sound? I'm certainly missing some button here since this feels random..?

Hello, still no drag&drop samples into list view, has it?
Hey; are any of the guitar plugins included in this? Silly question.
Is the KONTAKT Factory Library 2 part of the current Komplete update?
R.I.P Absynth
well pinning the browser doesn't work as I would expect. if I load an instrument and then select and load a new one as your doing in the video it just stacks them. then I need to close the browser and delete the previous instrument. what am I missing? (besides the database tab)
Hey, feel free to report this to our support. We'll take a closer look at it.

Too bad that we don't have access to Factory Library 1 from new Kontakt, or Komplete Kontrol. Many orchestral sounds are missing from it. Yes, we got new replacement, but not everything is covered. To be able to use it I need to load Kontakt 6. That's suck to be honest.
Can't you keep the old library somewhere else on your drive, and load as any 3-rd party library in K7?
I thought the same but to be honest I need Kontakt 6 installed just to open all
My old projects
Mmh, I’m not sure I understand… Are you saying you don’t see the „old“ Kontakt Factory Library (that comes with Kontakt 6) from within Kontakt 7? Or does it give you some error when trying to load patches from it? Because for me, this just works fine (the factory libraries are both visible / are installed as separate instruments.)
@@OneShortMoment I think he is talking about opening an older DAW session and kontakt 7 not automatically replacing kontakt 6 (even if you have the older factory library installed inside version 7). So, you will still need Kontakt 6 installed to open an older session without problems.
@@phelper4554 From what I heard, that is normal since the folder name the plugin refers to is "Kontakt 6".
may i know from which library the avenger bass comes ?
Hey ! Is this MPE compatible ? :)
Please add MPE support for Kontakt!
Why does the previews work for "Noire" but not for "The Maverick" or "Cuba" or "India" or other libraries I tested ? Only Noire works uff.
Is Kontakt 7 compatible with Mac OS Ventura?
What are differencies between Kontakt 7 and Komplete Select 14, which one should be first to buy for a new user of Native instruments vst software?
Kontakt 7 is not yet compatible with Ventura. Kontakt 7 is just a sampler and comes with a little factory library. You will probably find more value in Komplete Select, you will also get Kontakt 7 Player, which is the free version of Kontakt, and a few libraries and instruments more.
@@NativeInstruments Thanks a lot! 🙂
I took home the ”Factory 2”, but i didn’see the Orchestral or Choire librarys…?
Is that because i do not have the full version of Kontakt?
will bug fixes be fixed in Kontakt Version 6 ?
I wondered if you can answer a question on the new native instruments installer 2.7.0 and I am reinstalling Windows 11 and this morning downloaded the installer and it is asking me to grant it extra permissions to install dependencies but although I downloaded from my account because I purchased kontact 13 ultimate Last New Year's sales I've always had to put my email and password in and I am concerned that it wants to have permissions to Windows settings and there is just one big black box so I have denied it but cannot install it so please can someone explain what I am allowing this installer to do to my system because I've never had software ask me this permission thank you.

Why can't we have folders within the instruments like in rack view?? it's confusing to see a wall of text instead of everything in neat folders.
Can somebody help. When Kontakt scans this particular library it says files missing but the path in the missing file window isn't even on my pc, it's the path of the sound designer. I can search files on my pc and it plays fine but then if I close and open again it goes back to show files missing. This is weird to me and I don't know how to fix it

Are all the kontakt 6 libraries avaible for kontakt 7?
Kontakt 6 libraries also work in Kontakt 7 👍
I have this installed but it says "no libraries" how do you get libraries in it? If I go to options there's a button that says "Launch Native Access" which it does, then it shows all my applications and instruments. Then I see Kontakt 7 in the list and its installed. Now what????
If you bought a Komplete bundle, you should then install the Kontakt libraries found in Native Access, including Kontakt 7 Factory Library, if it's the free Kontakt 7 Player, install the Kontakt Factory Selection.
@@NativeInstruments When ever I double click sounds in either Komplete Control, Kontakt, Kontakt6 , or another like Guitar Rig it crashes and closes.
