Kontakt 5.6 ups?

+ 1 , think I'll sit this one out. checking the NI board for complaints.

So far, it's working fine for me. Having colored "LEDs" over the zone keys on the virtual keyboard instead of the colored keys (and no option to change it) will take some getting used to. I assume they did that to make it more visually compatible with their line of hardware keyboard controllers. I loaded up all my libraries and even old, old patches with no problems. It also seems to load just fine in DP and AU Lab (where I test out my updated plugs and VI AUs). All that being said, though, I didn't really see or hear any benefits to upgrading, unless you're paranoid about not being compatible with (very) recent Kontakt libraries. And I'm gonna miss those colored keyswitches.

I agree.
