Where to download Kontakt Player 3.5?

Post by David Polich »

I am trying to locate the download for Kontakt Player 3.5
Free. Native Instruments has upgraded the player to "4",
but I'm on a PPC Mac and the K4 Player won't work on a PPC.

I can only find Kontakt Player 4 on the internet right now...

Dave, if you have Kontakt 3 installed, it will only install Kontakt 3.5 and not KP 3.5. They have integrated the two products in such a way that they are probably the same code with features switched on and off based on ownership level.

If you already have Kontakt 3.5 installed, it won't let you install KP 3.5. The KP libraries will instead show up with their beautiful icons in a special tab on the left pane of Kontakt, similar to Kontakt Player 2.5.

You might have to scan for the KP products in Kontakt 3.5, but I have only had to do that when I move it to another disc or location, or do an update that changes the main directory's name (such as Sample Modeling's The Trumpet 2.52 update that came out a couple of days ago).

Thanks, guys. I wasn't aware of the legacy products downloads at NI's site.
I was able to download and install KP 3.5 without any trouble.
