        What do they mean by “next-gen NKS support”?

          I had an embargoed press release for this from early this week and planned on putting it up, but @bluescat scooped me! Kudos, my friend! Thanks. 🙂

            Am I right in guessing that it could mean that they’re about to make some existing hardware obsolete?

              Read on cakewalk that one of the older guitar libraries, strummed acoustic, is giving the following release note when updating:

              “Minimum Kontakt version requirements Kontakt 8.4.0, if you don’t own this version of Kontakt you wont be able to use the product.”

              Careful

                Someone got that wrong. The entire Session Guitar line uses the free Kontakt Player, so it would just mean you have to install the latest version of Kontakt Player — which, again, is completely free.  Also, you’re welcome, Native Instruments (I saved one of their employees from registering to have that reply). That said, NI, feel free to register and answer future questions or info that needs correction. I use Kontakt in nearly every single project and have used it since the first or second version, so I know it pretty well.

                  While it is true that you can use the product by installing the free version of Kontakt 8, I can understand the feeling of someone using an older full version of Kontakt not wanting to potentially gum up their system with more bloat.  I used to be one such person, but own 8 now.  I am guessing that “Next gen NKS support” is referring to their recently expanded NKS support of some third party hardware.
