This is more than an update, it's a complete rework almost. Looks great. I will be getting KK Collector pretty soon, once all is made M1 compatible. Thanks for the video.
@@DDS825 Yes I know, same here, but I still need to run my daw in Rosetta, and that kinda annoys me. It’s only because NI I have to do this. It’s more a principle thing than anything else 😝
I bought kontakt 7 and I downloaded the kontakt factory library 2 but I get this error when I try to open a instrument : This instrument belongs to a library that is currently not installed" can anybody help?
If I purchase kontakt 7 direct from their website will it have in it all the sounds I can see in this video or did you purchase some of these additionally? I feel like that isn't very clear on the website - really appreciate any answers
Is it possible to switch instruments using the computer keyboard in a own created instrument bank? - I don't want to use the mouse cursor because I play the digital saxophone and it is not practical.
Hey - just discovered this - really helpful as I'm new to Kontakt 7. One ? - that set of icons, including one you use for layering - next to KONTAKT 7 at the top --- I don't have that set of icons in the version I'm using on an iMac. What device are you demo'ing this on? Thanks!
Does Kontakt come with its own cubase/ logic kind sequencing software.. have kontakt for long time but never delved into it . Really like the new setup.. all new to me ..
Hey man, great video, quick question... I noticed in the beginning when you are in the new style view, your Mallet Flux doesnt have the graphic but just a generic folder icon. I have quite a few showing up in this new mode that are fine in the old mode where the library pics are on the side. Do you have a fix for that? Bugs the crap out of me. Typically I always used the Quickload because the side library view wasnt efficient enough for me, but I like this new view. Just want to fix that annoying blank folder icon on some of the libraries.
Buongiorno sempre molto interessante. Le chiedo un'informazione. Io uso il software maschine 2 e maschine plus come controller. Recentemente ho caricato Kontant factory library 2. ho notato che ci sono alcuni suoni, soprattutto quelli di voci e cori che suonati a una nota o più note il suono suona in contunuum e se aggiungo note si sommano sempre in continuum alle precedenti. Però così sono poco utilizzabili. è normale? come posso settarli come suono normale senza questo sustain infinito? Grazie, Luigi
Great overview, thanks. I have to say I'm very disappointed that even though you can resize the browser window, you can't increase the text size (I haven't been able to find how anyway). Text looks just as small as the older version on my 27" iMac unless I switch to a non native resolution.
Thank you for watching! Aww man, I didn't get to experience that because I'm just using my MacBook. I'll look and see if I can find a way to resize it.
Hey no one is talking about Kontact Orchestral library.... it is done by Orchestral tool ... how is it ? Does it have the power of Metropolis Ark?? How is quality ? No one wants to speak about it
Hello! I am planning a dedicated video to the new factory library where I will go more in depth with the sounds. Yes, it is done by Orchestral Tools. The quality is great in my opinion.
Hi, I know you probably won't see this, but because getting in touch with Kontakt is next to impossible, I was just wondering if you'd be able to help with a problem I've been having with Playbox. Every time I open it, it just comes up with a piano, but I actually want to open the VST interface like how every other TH-camr seems to be able to do. I've noticed that in other VST's like Hybrid Keys, there's an option to choose between the piano or the interface, but I can't seem to find it in Playbox.
@@DDS825 So, when I open the Playbox.nki in Kontakt 7, below the Multi Rack option, Playbox comes up, but not the actual VST interface. Below, all there is is a Piano.
kontakt 7 seems like similar to komplete kontrol UI....thats cool......this should eliminnate kontrol software and kontakt 7 should be natively supported with kontrol keyboard than
For those who use 4K monitors, KONTAKT-7 is an ABSOLUTE DISASTER. Darker than before, less readable than before. Still not scalable with super ancient raster technology, completely outdated and not suited for modern video cards and monitors. Interface looks like brought from Windows3.1 (or alike). While all software on the planet evolves, Native Instruments seem to be frozen in time. I tried to use all kind of tricks to be able to read the screen and still it seems like I need to use the Magnifying Glass. KONTAKT and KOMPLETE KONTROL is a total disaster. Whoever owns 4K monitor needs to go back in time and DOWNGRADE to 1024 px in order to read the screen clearly. When it comes to certain plugins running inside Kontakt-7 it becomes even worse because the greatest plugins (.i.e. from Spitfire) are completely unreadable and so super tiny that one needs a microscope to read it. Also endless problems with built in SQLite database make this product super obsolete and super hard to manage. People an NATIVE INSTRUMENTS really need to wake up from their dream of having plugins monopoly because sooner or later somebody will do what they resist to do.
Thanks for the video. BUT, whatever version of Kontakt you are displaying looks nothing like the version that they are selling as of November 2023. I am arguing with their "support" to get a refund. What they are selling right now is horrible and doesn't have the same UI or menu items. NATIVE SUCKS!!!
@@beatsbygastronaut7840 I PAID $107 FOR KONTAKT 7 AND $53.35 FOR SATIN LOOKS AND NOTHING WORKS. YOU CAN'T GET TECH SUPPORT ANYMORE EITHER. I HAVE A BBB CASE ON THEM NOW. NONE OF THIS SHYT WORKS AT ALL. IF IT WORKS FOR YOU THEN GOOD FOR YOU. I'M DEALING WITH NATHANIEL FROM NATIVE.

The sounds in this video after 7:53 are from the Kontakt library which comes with Kontakt 7.

I keep telling myself wait to upgrade to K14 until 50% off sales but I know deep down imma cave and buy it next payday lol
I know what you mean. Lol
black friday around the corner
Reminds me of Komplete Kontrol menu
Definitely!
Great walkthrough! You showed some excellent tips. Thanks very much.
I appreciate that! Thank you for watching.
I saw at your place that "mallet flux" is not displayed and I have me I'm plien which is not displayed.. would you solve this problem? Tanks you!

thanks bro 🙏

It kind of reminds me of the update that Massive X received. The browser is streamlined and each pack is displayed appropriately.
I can see that!

I’m not sure how to fix that. It is annoying because it stands out.

Dope 🔥
I’m enjoying it!
@@DDS825 Yessir i bet💯
My Kontakt 7 doesn't look like this. DO I have to buy it ? The Kontakt 7 I have is the free version.
example: the vintage page doesn't look like your vintage page
I'm not really sure. Are you talking about the Kontakt Player or Kontakt? Do you have the new factory library?
@@DDS825 I don’t have new factory sounds and my gui doesn’t have the green screen with the instruments on it like you have in your thumbnail
@@Meekismwisdom that’s probably what it is. It shows up like that with the new factory library.
🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate it bro!
Thanks!
Do I need to uninstall Kontakt 6 to install this version?
No you don’t.
@@DDS825 Got it, you inspired me to download this new version haha
@@iluvsyphonfilter I hope you enjoy it! I’ve been using it non stop. Lol

Which is the best komplete 14 to go with ?
Depends on your needs, I’d always say Ultimate. But if you have the budget, go with the collector’s edition.

The difference is Komplete Kontrol works with other NKS ready vsts, such as Nexus or Sublab. Also it has the chord & scale functions.
what software is this unde fl studio ?
What do you mean?
Is that the new update?
Yes, it is.
What's the size of factory library installer
I want to say it was 30-40 gigs.

DON'T BUY IT FOLKS. YOU'LL BE SORRY.
NONE OF THIS SHYT WORKS THE WAY HE IS EXPLAINING IT. NONE! YOU'LL BE SORRY FOLKS. I AM.
What doesn’t work?
You're probably using the kontakt 7 player, not kontakt 7 itself.
