Hallo allemaal,
Chicken Systems heeft een email verspreid waarin ze gebruikers van Kontakt op de hoogte brengen van het feit dat Kontakt 6 gebruik zal maken van 128 bit encryptie waardoor het onmogelijk gaat worden met third party software samples, banks instellingen etc te lezen of converteren.
Uiteraard maakt Chickensystems hier een groot punt van. Dit raakt immers hun core business.
Maar in de laatste paar alinea's maken ze op zich een punt wat voor sommige mensen hier relevant kan zijn:
Should We Expect NI FIles To Be Accessible?
Yes! Isn't it obvious that WAVE files should be read in any sample editor? Shouldn't it be normal that TXT files, or RTF files - gosh, or even Word files - be accessible to any word processor?
There isn't anything special about a NKI file - no innovation, no brilliance, no Einstein. It's just a record of the programming of a particular Kontakt object you use. And very often YOU COMPOSED IT. It's your creation, your sweat and blood. You deserve to be able to retrieve the full set of data in the way you choose.
Why Did NI Do This?
Does it matter why?
If NI VALUED the users ability to access the data they create, they would make it happen, by going back to the pre-v4.2 days and doing it that way, or finish and extend the code library to Kontakt 6 files. Simply put, if they VALUED the concept of publicly accessible data, it would happen. But, apparantly, they don't. Intentions mean nothing, results mean everything. They've had eight years, and times up - unfortunately times up for YOU.
So... Beware Of This Significant Kontakt 6 Limitation
Our goal by this article is to make you aware of this, because NI likely won't make any public announcement. Our suggestion is to keep a older version of Kontakt around - at very least Kontakt 5.8, or best - or in addition - Kontakt 4.1 or 3.5. Always keep in mind that the stuff you intend to have access to - for authoring, for custom editing, for other - do it in anything less than Kontakt 6. And just assume that anything written in Kontakt 6, you have no access to the data besides what NI gives you.
