Because what they have now done they can do also in future and so far without any consequence. That's frustration waiting to happen.īefore my rant I will state that after yesterday I will not buy anything from native anymore. If you are building a new computer, why would you limit yourself to 32-bit programs if 64-bit ones are available? I get being stuck with an old system, but not spending money to build a new system running 32-bit. Plus there are updated versions of these. I know NI did a lot to support old libraries that were no longer supported by the developers when the old system was discontinued. That said, if you bought a car, drove it around a few miles every week to the grocery store and work, and it lasted you 10 years, could you really complain when it no longer starts? Especially when you didn't upgrade it when you were given a chance? And being just a hobbyist, I will never feel I really get my money's worth out of all the libraries I own. Although you could potentially export all the samples, you can't export the programming that makes them work well, such as the legato scripting. Even the Kontakt libraries could be a problem. Every time I buy a Sine or Spitfire player library, I take the chance it will no longer be supported. Anyway, it was a complete nightmare to rectify but as long as you follow the instructions and do NOT let Service Centre run, you don't have to re-install everything - Native Access will pick it up after you've set the path in prefs.Įdit to add: now I think about it, I seem to recall it was an EvilDragon thread but it was on the NI forums, either Native Access or Kontakt boards.This is something I do worry about. xml's prevent Access from working correctly and must be deleted if present. One word of warning, and it took me 3 days of troubleshooting with absolutely no constructive help from NI, do not under any circumstances run the old Service Center during the process (mine opened at some point during the Kontakt re-install) and it cause me major headaches with Native Access - some library's were showing as demo only and a lot said they were installed and they weren't showing in Kontakt (with no way to install them) - the old service centre. There's an article on NI somewhere (or as has been said it may have been an post here) about how to do it but yes basically you install pre 5.6 Kontakt (or earlier, basically last version before Native Access came into being) and add your non-Native Access libraries with the 'add library' button, then fire up Native Access, set your NI install path in the prefs and it will then pick up all your other NI installs and Kontakt libraries and authorise them. I did a complete clean install of my studio rig a couple of weeks ago.
