Kontakt update to 5.6.6 (full key coloring on the virtual keyboard)
The KONTAKT team have released the latest free update: Version 5.6.6 is now available for download in Native Access. This update brings a much-requested return to full key coloring on the virtual keyboard, making switch placements and sound and sample type positions clearer. It also fixes some rare but troublesome bugs. To update, just start your Native Access app and open ‘Available updates’.

Been waiting for this update! Thanks for the tip. I brought up Soniccouture's Rock-Si-Cord (love it!), and whatever little glitchy crap that I was hearing yesterday is gone! And the full-color keys are nice to have back!

That's better, I had kind of got used to the blobs but the full key colouring is much better.

Err everything is blue now... Not sure I want all my pianos to be blue. Kinda liked the traditional white and black keys. Also messes up some songs Light Blue and Dark Blue together on my piano keyboard....

Ahh. I only loaded up a couple of instruments I knew had a lot of zones. On NI keyboard the light guide for the default range is blue so I suppose its now carried over.

As it was before 5.6.5, maybe??! Seems like 5.5.2 is that way tho an NI moderator says its cleaner looking. If the colored keyboard isn't to your liking, don't update. Tho any future upgrades will have it. Anyone seen a screenshot? Maybe everyone could request an "option" to turn it on and off.

Thanks VM. Yea, it looks ok. I see they're keeping the "lights" above the keys as well as coloring them, a bit too pastellish for me. The old way does look better but can't please everyone. BTW, I had to create an account and login to VI to see the screenshot. Why NI hasn't posted one is, well, just silly.

You can turn off all the keyboard coloring ("Show mapping and keyswitches on keyboard" in the Options under Interface) but there is no way to get just the lights above the keys and not the keys themselves colored.
The option is a bit odd, if it's on and you turn it off you have to reload the instrument to have the coloring removed. But if it's off and you turn it on, the keyboard re-draws.

I am fine with this after a bit of use. It much better than the blobs and as a NI keyboard owner even the blue keys make sense. Good to see NI listening to their users.
