    Hi,i had to reinstall windows 10,so i am looking to reinstall reaktor 6 and kontakt 6.
    Can someone inform me which version installers i should start with?
    I.e. can i skip 6.0 and perhaps install 6.2? same with reaktor.
    thanks

    I would say the latest version of Kontakt 6.5.2(?) that will make sure that any version of Reaktor you have will work fine.
    In the end it doesn't matter which version you install as long as Kontakt is able to open it so therefore the latest of Kontakt.

    Yes, if you don't have any version of Kontakt installed, then Version 6.5.2 will be okay.

    I do not understand your second question.
    There are probably hundreds and hundreds of Kontakt Libraries available so what you want to install is up to you.

    There is a collection of Native Instruments that's called "Komplete (13)" which amongst order libraries contains "Reaktor"
    It's a nice collection to start your music production. You can check the details here:

    watch out for Kontakt portable 6.5.2 the version available is by someone new and screws up your shit.

    I installed Kontakt portable 6.5.1 and its running smoothly

    Kontakt has nothing to do with Reaktor

    I concur.

    The 748 MB library is the Factory Selection library. The full Kontakt Factory library takes up 23+GB on my drive, probably because of the .NCW compression in the .nkx files. If they were .wav, it would be almost twice as large.
    Make sure to get the Reaktor Factory library and Blocks update for Racks.

    You dont even WANT the Full Kontakt Library - its sucks shit. MASSIVE Gigabytes of shit.

    The real beauty of Kontakt lies in third party Libraries


    There is a cool new topic on Kontakt Libraries.

    https://audiosex.pro/threads/best-kontakt-library-for-electronic-music.57937/

    Even if you are not into that style, it goes to show there is a plethora of companies making Kontakt Libraries

    that kicks the Factory Library's ass

    (sorry Pinkman - still Love you though)

    It's on the sister site.
    Heads up, when you install Reaktor, look for and unpack the Library.zip in program files
    It contains Reaktor 3, 4 and 5 libraries.

    There are better instrument libraries than the factory library, but it's a decent starting point to make your own and there's a wide variety of instruments sampled there.

    I will always take note of the bad but I will always speak on the good and the beauty in things and beings.
    If I you feel that I am being defensive, maybe it is because you are attacking.
    I'm just speaking here, brother. No ill will and certainly no agenda to defend NI's Kontakt library.
    I typed that last sentence and it seems ridiculous I have to say it at all.

    Love you too man

    i see a reaktor 6.0.0 in around 700mb,dead links though,the other versions of 6 are only around 150 mb
    so if some of you guys or girls where me and wanted to install reaktor 6 which version of 6 should i go for?
    i.e the latest update version ok to do clean install with? surely i be missing factory content.

    Pinkman - regarding your last message

    I KNOW it sounds ridiculous! Thats why I said it. That was the joke.

    I'm sorry my sense of humor drifts sometimes and gets misunderstood. In no way was I attacking. Just TOTALLY messin' around with ya'

    I dont know if you remember - one of my first messages on this board was complimenting you on your Aphex Twin and Nine Inch Nails Logos on your Reaktor tab. TOTALLY LOVE YOU and TOTALLY NOT ATTACKING!


    peace
