but i also have liabries that are working fine, im not sure where to go from here

your help will be appreciated

thanks

 

Kontakt 6.2.1 Portable (P2P)
It's a bit different installation process, but actually really simple.
Every library I've tried works when added through the Library Manager.

 

If it's for Windows then Kontakt 6.1.1 from r4e for sure. It's an easy install and you can add libraries inside Kontakt over the tab through integrated add library.exe again which isn't possible with the original one anymore. Very convenient.

 

What about for OS X?

 

I use Kontakt 6.2.0 Portable and it works flawlessly Super fast and easy

 

Four replies so far, and three different answers! The curse and gift of the Internet.

I suggest you to go with a Portable version because nothing gets installed, and if it doesn't satisfy your needs then you can try other versions without any fear of messing up your system specification/VSTs directories etc.

 

More information. Decide for yourself. I will only upgrade if r4e makes a new version of it or if I really have to bc some awesome library

No offense but some new libraries need 6.2.1 so we need r4e to do the magic once again. r4e come on bro. if you're reading this. and i know that you are. so take a week or two. and please make it happen. @r4e

 

i do have both. 6.1.1 r4e &6.2.0

And also remove the links. because even if it is sis site. you are not allowed to link warez. so if you get caught you will get warning. so better remove it. Don't tell me i didn't warned you

 

Click the link and see where it leads to. Everything's fine my friend

Edit: About version 6.2.0, for some people it crashes once in a while so it seems it's not as stable as the previous one and as I said, if there is no new super duper library I can't live without then 6.1.1 will still do fine.

Dude you cannot link to warez. no matter what. even if it is sister site. that is the rule.

 

TF, calm down. It links to another thread in this very forum. No sister site or anything. Sometimes I despair of some people's common sense!

 

hey guys

thanks for the replies

ill give Kontakt 6.1.1 from r4e a shot and see how it goes

thanks

 

On a new system all libraries would vanish every time I loaded the plugin with 6.2.0, but 6.2.1 fixed it.

 

new libraries use 3 effects implemented in kontakt 6.2.1 only.
so the last version is the only one to use.

it is like asking the best windows xp version to load last w10 plugins.

 

but i also have liabries that are working fine, im not sure where to go from here

 

For me it was simple. I have installed R4E v6.1.1 and over that version i have updated just vst dll-s to 6.2.1 and kept 6.1.1 for standalone to add libraries etc.
Most clean and best solution so far, for me ... Loading old project super fast and easy...
Keep in mind that once you install latest Kontakt 6.2.0 or 6.2.1 and you dont like it, you cant go back to 6.1.1 to use in current projects, because they would be not compatible.
So my final advice is to go and get yourself r4e Kontakt 6.1.1 version and you will be just fine with all sample librares you can get for now on internet.

 

What is the exact difference of the R4e version to the normal releases that makes his version work better? Did he do a custom installer? I've seen his packs before, he is very thorough in his work for sure.

 

I always hated the keygen version, yes I know what they said about serialing everything first, but then you have to wait for them to make serials for new products, rather have a pre cracked

 

To repeat a business maxim: If you need it then buy it. If you can't afford it then you don't need it. Learn to use the tools you have and make music not fill up your storage with clutter. Peace.
