M5 the only sampler that loads Kontakt libraries?

Post by Gravity Jim »

Well?

I'm so angry with NI I'm looking for something else that will load my current Kontakt libraries, but it seems that only MachFive will do it. Falcon won't. But I also don't want to buy a sampler that is either dead in the water or about to be rolled into DP.

Does anyone know that facts on this? MagicD? Anyone?

FWIW, M5-3 still working fine. I don't see the need to buy a shiny new Falcon when the trusty MachFIVE is still purrIng along.

It will not load libraries that require the current version of Kontakt. I forget the exact version where the cutoff is.
