    Is there any difference between bobdule's Kontakt 7 and vkDanilov's Kontakt 7 Portable in terms of performance (CPU, RAM usage, load times,...)?

    Make sure you have your Side Pane switched on.
    Your libraries will not be visible in the new Browser, only in the old style Side Pane.

    ok, you have to select 'export libraries to the NKS content browser' in library options
    but now a number of older libraries do not show even though they appear in the library manager

    this is the vkDanilov portable version btw
    considering just installing BobDule or something
    good luck

    Portable is the way to go, IMO. Only issue is it takes longer for the cracked portable to drop, but it's worth the wait. Easy to install and transfer if needed. Also plays nice with the legit version. Not sure if the installed k'd does, or not.

    When you clicked on the 2 little boxes and saw your libraries on the left, that is your Side Pane.

    The Portable dont manage the new Library browser, also used for sound preview and Maschine, komplete Kontrol integration.

    Setup version works as the original without any restriction and a total integration in other NI softwares.

    now press II\ to get the Classic Browser view in the portable. The setup version enable both.

    some DAW will only show one instance of Kontakt, in this case, if you mix both, only the portable will be seen. to show again the setup version it need to move/delete the portable link.

    you can rename the setup files to get many instances or use with a legit version, or previous, all can be mixed without any restrictions.
    simply manage the files names.

    Thank you Bobdule. Did you notice any performance differences between the two versions?

    I'm not aable to use the portable version because Cubase 12 gives me blacklisting.
    Also Reaper and Studio One.
    It works only in standalone mode.

    That's strange, doesn't happen to me.
    But like for the standalone kontakt, I firewalled reaper only to "speak" within loopback/lan, I guess you don't use firewalling.
