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.
