    Kontakt 5 - oriented at composers - $
    Kontakt 8 - oriented at the masses - $$$
    (press one button = you're a producer, son!)
    Kontakt 9 - $$$$$

    Hmmm... I have it set up pretty much like all the previous versions. Doesn't appear to have changed at all really. Admittedly on first install it defaults to that new wacky browser, or what ever it is. But you can change back to the older browser that makes sense.

    It's a quarter of a century old plugin with pretty much the same GUI, the latest efforts are like giving a granny a facelift. They need to start from scratch.

    I may be nostalgic for Kontakt 5-6 but since the libraries of that time still work with 8, it’s about embracing the ways to make the newer libraries memorable so they can stand equally with other classic libraries while letting Kontakt learn new tricks, like it has been technically a wavetable synth since 2018
