I thought it's because of FS without serial - that's why I tried it with FS uninstalled - didn't help, stil disabled button.Īfter 30 minutes it times out, I can reload the player though (or Kontakt 3 as there is no "player" as a separate program) and it works 30 more minutes. In Service Center (btw, updated by itself, no problem here) I can't activate Kontakt 3 (with some serial) nor I can activate FS (no serial there) because the Activate button is disabled. Ok, now I understand it this way - I have the library in demo mode - not activated. Make sure you have the latest version of their "Service Center". You could try reinstalling FS, but perhaps if you just re-initiate NI's challenge/response process, that will be enough. I really believe it is only this problem. NI's software is a special mess - spreading samples, presets and others things over my whole HD. If they absolutely want my email adress, why they can't just do it by sending a serial number to it for activate the software? Every major company want to instal some strange "activation software" on my machine, where I don't know what it is doing to my system - and often it is not even working. That is what's keeping me off many times from these "free" players many companies are offering now. Maybe I missed something really easy, but it doesn't make it any better experience for a user. I'm stuck, I thought I understand computers and software, but there is always something trying to convince me: "No, man, you're dumb!" I'm quite dissapointed - Kore things wanted activation, it was annoying, but it worked in the end. after 30mins the Kontakt Selection (reportedly free download) just ends the Demo period and I can't use it anymore. But I think the Kontakt Player still very much deserves to be called a "free" instrument because it has a pretty nice free 600 MB library to start out with. We cannot really make Kontakt Player a full-on player for any Kontakt-format library, because that would defeat the whole licensing model that we offer to instrument developers. Using these libraries fully is still reserved to the full Kontakt 3 version. So yes, the Kontakt Player offers full-featured playback only for Kontakt Player libraries and for the new "Kontakt-Powered" instruments, while plain Kontakt libraries only run in a 30 minute demo session. I have to agree that the info on our Kontakt Player page regarding third-party libraries was unclear and potentially misleading, sorry about that! We have just changed the wording to make the whole thing more clear. It just seemed a bit too good to be true (like for example if you have Kontakt 3 Player why would you want Kore Player?). It's late here though so I might have missed something important. I have lots of samples in kontakt format that I've been forced to convert to soundfonts, but now it seems I can use them the way they're meant to sound. And yes I realize this is Kontakt *player*, not Kontakt the sampler but nontheless, this is an awesome free release. Are we looking at a free version of Kontakt player or is there some showstopper I'm missing here?Įdit 2: Wow, from what I can tell there are no limitations, this is a fully working multi-out version. still, some of the info was in German so I didn't quite get it. Looks like a good offer, but a big download.Įdit: downloading it now at 1.4MB/s so big download is no problem. Native Instruments is offering a free Kontakt 3.5 and Kore player along with free 50 instument sound libraries!
