YES, hackers do find ways to get around this, but it has nothing to do with Chicken Systems Translator or any other conversion program. They are locked into Kontakt/Kontakt Player format and can't be converted to any other format. Chicken Systems Translator CAN'T TOUCH those libraries. In return, the developer's libraries would be copy-protected and authorization happens through the Native Access app. The developer would purchase licenses (in bulk) as well as pay setup and development fees NI. With prior versions, any sample library that runs on the Kontakt Player would have required the developer to enter an agreement with NI for licensing. I think you're missing the issue and what's going on here. There may be a marketing element here too, don't know but when they talk about encryption and not allowing third party access it sounds like a hacking issue to me.
NI KONTAKT 6 SOFTWARE
NI has to make a profit in order to stay in business and I don't have to tell you guys that pirated software is a huge problem.
Well, the hackers have really done a good job of ruining things for everybody. This is also why MS does all these Win10 updates which can mess with our audio setups sometimes.ĭoing things online including sensitive confidential stuff was supposed to streamline everything, make life easier and faster, go paperless, etc. It's a total pain in my ass but it's also completely necessary.
NI KONTAKT 6 PRO
The tax software all pro level tax prep firms use are constantly updating security procedures, our offsite IT firm that handles our network is constantly doing updates and those updates can cause certain things to not work correctly. The IRS continually updates their login procedures for authorized reps. It's the bane of my existence in my tax business. and this is why we can't have nice things? It's hackers, effing hackers. Perhaps NI will reconsider their new position in the future."
NI KONTAKT 6 FULL
We have strongly advocated to NI on the behalf of all Kontakt users, for the last eight years, about the importance of full access to ALL data, but those efforts have ultimately failed. Not all will care about this restriction - but we know, firsthand, that many will. This does not serve their user base well. We believe this is a mistake on NI's part. The majority of improvements are geared toward developers, not users, according to many experts who have seen the initial versions. With v4.2-v5.8, you can access much of the information, but not modulators, filters, or effects. Best Case: use a version v4.1 or less, giving you complete access. And if you use Kontakt 6, do not resave those nki's. If you are interested in using Kontakt for authoring, or place some value in taking your information into some other format - such as EXS24, or SFZ, or your keyboard workstation (Motif, Kronos, Kurzweil, etc.), we advise keeping an older version of Kontakt around for creating accessible files. If you try to access those files in Translator, or any Chicken Systems product, you will get an error message. The Kontakt 6 extension will be the same. You can only access/load/use them in Kontakt 6 - nothing else. This means that you will not be able to translate, view, operate on, or audition Kontakt 6 NKI files within any third-party product such as Chicken System's Translator, Kontakt Assistant, or Constructor. "Files created by the upcoming Kontakt 6 (release Oct 1), due to encryption and new NI policies, will not be accessible by any program other than Kontakt 6 itself. Moving forward, Kontakt is a closed, proprietary system in every sense. He then further demonstrates some uses for these outputs.This is very bad news coming from Chicken Systems. In this video, Jack demonstrates the process of setting up multiple outputs from Kontakt. Note: We have selected 2 for number of channels as we would like to create a stereo output, if you wanted to create a mono output you would choose 1.Ĥ) You will now see the outputs that you've added.ĥ) In your Kontakt window you will now be able to see and select your newly created outputs. Once you've made your selections, press OK. If you would like Kontakt to keep this selection every time you load a new instance, select make this your default configuration.
Under soundcard/host output you should select the first unused output. By default Kontakt will already have 1 stereo output, meaning that this will bring the total to 8. In this example, I will be adding 7 stereo outputs. This will open your outputs menu.Ģ) In the outputs window, select the + to add outputs.ģ) Specify the number of channels that you would like to create. 1) With Kontakt open, located the workspace image and select outputs from the dropdown menu.
