The free 5.6 update provides KONTAKT 5 with an updated user interface. The update also brings improvements to stability and a number of important bug fixes. KONTAKT instrument developers now benefit from a number of new KSP features, allowing larger available screen space for user interfaces and improved instrument building workflow.

The 5.6 update also introduces Usage Data Tracking to KONTAKT 5 and KONTAKT 5 PLAYER. This will help us ensure quality and stability by allowing us to collect important data on how the software is used. This will always be done anonymously and can be disabled at any time. For more information, please read this Knowledge Base article.

To update KONTAKT, open Native Access and select KONTAKT in the 'Available Updates' tab. Native Access will notify you when KONTAKT is updated.

If you prefer to update KONTAKT using Service Center, open Service Center, click on the Updates tab, select KONTAKT 5.6, and click ‘Download’. Once your download is complete, run the KONTAKT 5.6 update Installer. Once installed, your KONTAKT 5.6 software will be ready for use.

Also Kontakt Library and Library Selection have been updated

Nothing so disruptive in the short term as a new user interface, might have to schedule this update carefully.

Good news we don't have to update to Komplete 11 to stay current.

Nice and crispy. There's even a hint of light guide ...

Not too keen so far - less defined gui edges makes it harder on the eyes..

I'm with Elfin on this one...it seems a little too "undefined"
I'll get used to it...it's very "Windows 10"....

Anyone else find Kontakt missing from their list of plugins in the synth browser after updating?  I get an error message when launching projects that use Kontakt that says "Missing Plug-ins: Kontakt 5 (Synth Rack)

Keeps crashing my recent project with kontak in it. everything seems to load ok but then I try the transport and then crash.  I'm trying to find out how to roll back
 

I think it's a bit of an improvement, but let's face it, Kontakt will always be a little hard on some eyes. It's just too damn small.

5.6 worked ok when I gave it a first go ... but pls report back on how to rollback because I have no clue how to do this with the new NI Native Access
