It has become apparent that they are not going
to "color code" the keys, but maintain the stupid
little blurbs above the keys...not a wise move on
their part I'm afraid

That's disappointing but not unexpected because they want to market their Kontrol boards. :(

I have a Kontrol keyboard and I still want the color codes on the screen back...

Just a marketing strategy on their end.

I still have the version before they removed the color coded keys. Everything works fine. I'm not updating until I'm forced to, because I want some hot new library.

S.L.I.P.

OTS 12 string for example, will not work with anything but the latest. I found out the hard way and when I looked at my  Kontakt DLL it was dated last year, in spite of the latest update to Kontakt via the NI update app, which ONLY updated the stand alone! After digging around, I found a thread in the NI forum that pointed me to the stand alone updates which brought the dll up to the latest release. I am kinda hesitant to update if my plug in doesnt get updated

Resistance is futile.
