I personally don't know but, I have a feeling if you have opened and saved any projects using 5.6.1 you are probably better off staying with 5.6.1.  It has to get better with the next update!

well, I haven't done anything serious with K5.6.1 due to the poor performance I get - so projects are not an issue, but it did update some libraries when it installed itself at K5.6.0 ...???

Rob, do you have background loading enabled? That'll return control back quicker, although it means you won't always know when the libraries have finished loading.
 
As a completely irrelevant aside, I'm currently working on a project that's Kontakt-heavy. Being a new computer, I don't yet know what its limits are. But I've currently got 9 instruments loaded, 3 of which are monsters. There are also 2 instances of Keyscape in the project plus Ozone and ValhallaRoom. It takes a good 2 minutes to load the project (from a conventional, non-SSD drive), but once loaded it sails along smoothly. Even when I forgot to set my buffers back to mixing size. How much of this performance can be credited to Kontakt's efficiency, I don't know. But it's making me pretty happy.
 

I just installed Native access and updated Kontakt, I seems to be working OK here. I loaded a project with 5 Orange Tree Evolution guitars, including the enormous Drakus and Scarbee Pre bass (which also had an update) I did not find the load time excessive but the OTS products are on an SSD. Once loaded it all works fine.
 
A lot faster the EW Play for sure!
 
PS, still dont like the new virtual keyboard colouring!

Thanks. I fiddled with that option and have it now to background loading again ...
 
When testing this weird performance, I tried the standalone version and it seemed to work as usual - strangely, after doing this performance of VST2 version in Sonar also seems to be back to what it was. What seems different (or maybe I'm just fooling myself) is the initial waiting time when opening a Sonar project with Kontakt. It seems to be stuck for longer until it eventually comes up (and by then already has half of the K libs loaded) ...

I'm used to projects taking ages to load in SONAR. I always have an instance of Kontakt loaded plus Trilian bass and Superior drums - so load a project and go make some coffee ;-)

Can we PLEASE get this forum software fixed?

I'm tired of scolling and paging to get to the last post
because it takes me to MY first post...

ok...now that THAT is off my chest...

Guyz a litlle out off tic , but is the access software knows where to update stuff ? I m still using the center here ...

Zo,
 
From my experience, NO, it does not.  It is set up different than the Service Center and it will not seek out your current installation paths. You can try going into the preferences in Native access and setting the paths but it seems to work for some and other it does not.  If you have your 'Content' sample libraries on multiple drives there is No Way to tell it that as it only allows a single path.
 
I would suggest doing some serious research on it prior to messing with it. Also, Make sure you have everything backed up and a system image just in case it trashes your existing installation. I think it needs some serious work from NI.  Just My opinion from my experience with it.
