Anybody else annoyed that the virtual keyboard is no longer colored to indicate keyswitches? Now you just have tiny colored boxes at the top. What on earth could be the advantage of this change?

To match their Keyboards...

Me

Just realized that NOW, with 5.6, my NI Kompakt Silver SO 
no longer loads.  I can still use Kompakt, but it no longer
works in Kontakt.  Another tick in the "what's not to like" list

Yeah, this is a crappy change. :/ My guess is they'll get enough complaints to revert...

If you have that Komplete Control software run it first.  Live crashed on the 5.6 because I didn't have Control scan it first.

I think I'll leave 5.6 alone for a while. Have my hands full with other software right now and don't need any more problems.

This update also adds software analytics. It seems that NI is installing it on all their programs as they update them. As a K9 user there's not too many programs to deal with. Maybe those of you with newer versions have more.
 
I'm surprized that there hasn't been more chatter about the analytics given the noise that was made when Cakewalk introduced them.

I'm REALLY getting tired of this forum software taking me to MY 
FIRST POST after the OP, instead of to the LAST POST as it's supposed
to when I click on it...

A visual cue you cant see doesn't help. To make it less visible? I don't get it.
