Native Instruments Kontakt 7 v7.1.3 WiN-bobdule screenshot
bobdule | 14/12/22 | 577 MB
For 20 years, KONTAKT has been the backbone of countless film scores and pop hits, as well as thousands of incredible instruments from NI and your favorite NKS developers alike. Now, with a new HiDPI browsing experience, an overhauled Factory Library, new creative effects, and under-the-hood audio improvements, the next evolution is nearly here.

So based on the comments so far, it should be OK to install this version of Kontakt on top of, say Kontakt 6.6.1? Will I still be able to use both in tandem, or will 6.6.1 (which is working perfectly fine) be overwritten? With over 90 libraries in Kontakt I am on the cautious side ...
  Member 16.11.2013 19 238

Kontakt 6 and Kontakt 7 are separate .dll and .vst3 files anyway, so you should be able to run both alongside each other. I have both Kontakt 6 and 7 on my plugins list.

Hello Bob again. What would we do without you and thank you for your tireless work. For Kontakt DLL and Kontakt 7 DLL both are buggy when you start a DAW like Cubase. 50% of the time it will either open ok or crash. Anything dodgy you can think of like a duplicate DLL in different directories for example as I see other people got same issue. Not to do with your work but maybe a combination of installed Kontakt programs?

I have concrete information about crashes. On many libraries, this post's version is working ok, and my Nuendo is liking it a lot. Loaded right up. For some reason, I cannot load the newly posted Hypha library, as the crash is predicatable and reproducable, with 100% rate. (i.e, when you load it.)

Turns out this badboy is doing the AVX blendvps xmm3, xmm4, xmm0 thing.

For the non-computer-scientists out there, it means it's crashing because our CPU doesn't have that set of instructions.

It's wild to me that it involves the word "cereal" in the stack as it crashes. I know what it means as much as you, the reader, does. Could it mean "serial key?" (Rhetorical.)

You read the stack in time sequence order from bottom to top. (The top is the last thing that happened.) Look to the left side to notice the "Kontakt_7!cereal:" lines:

 Spoiler


Further debugging would be necessary, based on the original retail binaries, to draw a conclusion on the cause. I am not jumping in any blame game and don't want to be seen as doing such, but if this is of Native Instruments' doing, perhaps we can make a polite protest about it to get them to consider to change that. If it is not their doing, then maybe we can fix it. To the side for the moment - it seems to work well otherwise. More info as I know it.

Faster than a Japanese bullet train, as KRS-One would say. I know and now you know because of KRS-One. Fixed, one patch, no ill effects. Rockin'! That's how TCD rolls. Droppin' science and history:

Hypha working well, at the moment at least

Unfortunately, I think it is then also library dependent. For example, different patches use different effects or whatever it is doing. So it is the library itself driving it to the failure too, I think. Meaning, the preset wants to use the "bad" part of Kontakt 7.exe and then it goes down for that reason at that point, too. The patch shown doesn't call any AVX.

Would you patch... I mean pass me that patch? Many thx whether it's fine or not with you.
So it's not the famous AVX requirement but a bug that crashes when that SIMD is called even if your CPU supports it?
[2009] Sorry for my English. I'm working on it
[2017] I'm beginning to improve. Hell yeah, I'm a fast learner :D

It actually is AVX requirement, which Native Instruments can fix by compiling Kontakt to not require it on machines that don't have it. It is a trivial thing - more or less a press of a button type of thing for a house of software engineers. We are not talking about building a new Rome here. I implore NI to consider it to the strongest degree, simply because it would be cool (picture the meme: "You'd be cool if..." or "It would be cool if...") Come on now, NI. Get with the program, man. :) Fix it for all.

@Xupito: Each patch can call whatever it wants in Kontakt. If the patch calls a module that does the AVX (settings inside modules can do it or be set to not do it, like in many of their recent plugins), the whole DAW or other host is going down to desktop. I have not tested all there is, but I think it is mostly going to happen on specific 7 libraries. Or maybe only 7 libraries.

If that's confusing - lets say Flanger for instance. Flanger ok. Flanger ok. Let's make the Flanger do "This." All of a sudden, not ok. AVX bam.

It's like you gotta be Indiana Jones navigating the underground booby traps to use it on non-AVX CPU. That's not right, NI. Even TCD can you that that's not right! :)

NI: Think of the good publicity it would bring if you do fix it. The community would go nuts, I suspect. The kind of thing that builds customers for life.

what's funny is developers are still releasing libraries that say minimum requirements Kontakt 5.x.x., it's like are they not wanting to update scripts or is it a money thing?

Obviously, they are not wanting to leave a huge section of customers into the non-paying area because customers or potential customers couldn't use the product if they wanted. So, these companies you write of are doing well. Native Instruments, please help fix it, once again! :) You can do it! Even Horatio Sanz tells you can do it!

but is Kontakt 5 and 6 still being supported with updates? I think not. Most people who own legit Kontakt more than likely have it through some form of Komplete bundle, so more than likely they would want the latest and greatest. I am not writing anyone off but why develop a new library and charge say $100 for it, when it is using code from 2 iterations ago, just update already. But hey you can defend those companies that you state I wrote off and are doing well, even though I never named any specific companies. Jump to conclusion much?

i just said it's funny they are still doing that, how is that being interpreted as "writing off"? Maybe English isn't your first language but you imply that I am condescending towards those developers when in fact I am also stating a fact....then you justify it with your opinion, and pass that off as fact. Do you know for sure? Are you one of these developers that stay on Kontakt 5 or older versions? Why so defensive? Factual statements, I think not, just your opinion. God forbid we express ourselves here right?

I've analyzed this release a little and a lot of patches are missing in comparison to previous releases, especially those for editing/loading encrypted libraries and editing password protected scripts. The one wrong patch from the previous release that leads to nowhere is still existant:
It's a jmp instruction that should jump to a xor instruction but it jumps to nowhere becasue that patch just got adopted 1:1 from Kontakt 6.7.1. In 6.7.1 the jmp steps/bytes were 19, in Kontakt 7 it's 15 but bobdule still added that 19 again, which is wrong in this case.

I've re-patched this update to fix all those things, was pretty tough to find everything because of many changes from NI in that part of the code. Still needs some testing from me but for now everything seems to work fine.

Means:
- You're able to edit password protected/locked scripts.
- You're able to edit protected patches.
- You can load any custom library or patch, even if no nicnt file exists

When testing is done, I'll create a post

Fatal error during Installation.

Error reading from file
C:\Windows\Installer\OFFLINE\F1AFCEEO\E87F011E\Default.kad.
Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.

Would really appreciate some help.

Also get a message saying please uninstall Kontakt 7 but I did all that due to all the issues. Only using the portable at present.

I don't think I have any trace left behind. Checked registry etc.

Installer just won't complete.

Use this deprecated but better Microsoft utility to clear it out, i.e. uninstall it from the registry. It should avoid the error then because the new installer won't be pointed to that location, while installing. Best of luck, but I don't think you're going to need it.

Think of it like a master .msi handler for your system and you will be thinking the right way. It won't delete program files if you tell it to delete something. It rids the install foundation, i.e. what you are trying to accomplish here.

https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/windows_installer_cleanup_utility.html

"When you are working on your computer and installing a new program, the installation suddenly fails. Now you are left with a partly installed program. You try to install the program again, but you are unsuccessful. Or, maybe you have problems trying to remove an old application because the installation files are corrupted."

Sounds familiar, eh?

It also cannot hurt you do go to C:\Windows\Installer\ and put it so you can see the Subject column. Click the top header (literally on the word "Subject") so it puts the listing in order. Go to K for Kontakt and if you see one that belongs to something not on your system any longer, then highlight it and pressing delete button will clear it away too. But that part you knew already. heh Like I said, best luck.

You're welcome. You should have an entry line in Windows Installer Cleanup window when running, showing "(All Users) Native Instruments Kontakt 7 [Version # here]"

I noticed on sister site that Bob told it is to same version, so you're probably looking for what I just wrote above.

When found, click on it, then click the remove button below.

Here's mine, highlighted for reference.

Basically, it is impossible for you to have the error you tell of if Kontakt is missing in there. So it is there. Or something really out of the norm is going on. I think it's probably there and you're overlooking it, as a good guess.

because your Cpu is not 100% compatible, if SSE3 only or not AVX or both.
