Native Instruments has released KONTAKT 5.6.8, the latest update to their flagship sampler application. The update links the Add/Authorize Library buttons to Native Access, simplifying installation and authorization. As part of this change, all 3rd-party Kontakt Player libraries can now be managed from within Native Access.
Version 5.6.8 also includes the following bug fixes and enhancements:
- New KSP built-in variable ($NI_CONTROL_PAR_IDX) returns the index of the element triggering a UI callback; applies to tables and the XY Pad.
- Add & Activate Library buttons now launch Native Access, which now also supports 3rd-party libraries.
- The frame rate would drop significantly if multiple waveform displays were used on a KSP UI.
- The Missing Samples dialog would always suggest the default user folder instead of the folder the NKIs are in.
- Crash when switching to Mini View under circumstances.
- Using get_control_par() with $CONTROL_PAR_ALLOW_AUTOMATION now returns the correct value instead of always 0.
- Certain Bank properties would be discarded when re-saving NKSNs.
KONTAKT 5.6.8 is a free update available to all registered users via the Native Access application.
