Kontakt owners - update available!

[EnochLight]

Looks like NI just released a free update to Kontakt 5:

• Noticeably faster startup times, particularly when many libraries are installed on slower (or remote) drives.
• Addresses crash issues experienced with certain third-party libraries.
• KONTAKT now fully supports Apple’s new file system (APFS), introduced in High Sierra, and addresses a few uncommon but troublesome bugs.

You can now download Version 5.7.3 in Native Access:

Pretty cool update. I was bummed when I didn't see it in Native Access, then I remembered that for some reason I got this update like 2 weeks ago. Not sure why that happened... Anyway, enjoy!

[zumBeispiel]

I see Version 5.7.3 into the standalone Kontakt, the plugin opened inside Reason remains 5.6.8.

Is it normal or have I missed anything?
I used Native Access.

The same happens to Reaktor : 6.2.1 standalone and 6.1.0 the plugin.

Strange. Did you restart Reason after the update?

D.

Weird. I closed Reason, ran Native Access, updated both Kontakt and Reaktor, closed Native Access, opened Reason, and now the latest versions of both Kontakt and Reaktor appear in my rack.

OK, just done a complete reinstall with NA instead of the simple update.
Now both Reaktor and Kontakt plugins are up-to-date.

Thank you Eusti and EnochLight
