Note: Requires Kontakt 7 v7.6.0
The recent update to HYBRID KEYS brings forth a new iteration, but the precise nature of the update remains a bit elusive. It’s possible that this update primarily serves as a platform for introducing the latest Kontakt version. However, let’s dive into the details to uncover any hidden enhancements.
Noteworthy Changes:
Hybrid Keys.nki: This component remains unchanged and continues to require version 6.2.1 of Kontakt.
Hybrid Keys 2.0.nki: With this update, it now necessitates version 7.6.0 of Kontakt. If you wish to compare, you can preserve the previous version of Hybrid Keys 2.0.nki by renaming it. Rest assured that all your custom .nki files will continue to function seamlessly without requiring a Kontakt update. If you happen to notice any significant differences, please share your observations in the provided forum topic.
