I'm after a legitimate copy of Native Instruments Kontakt 1.5. Yes that's right, v1.5, not v2. If anyone can help me out, send me a pm Smile

Thanks

Take one look at the Native Instruments Kontakt forums and you'll see why Wink

In a nutshell: it's a cpu hog and there are numerous fatal bugs that make working with it a real pain in the arse. For example, for some reason it doesn't compute note off commands for some notes, so when you use it the polyphony slowly increases until Kontakt is using 80% of your cpu. Then you have to reset the engine to clear all the notes. Evil or Very Mad

NI also won't let Kontakt2 owners downgrade to 1.5 while they fix 2 as well. Apparently it's been 6 months since an update and no one knows if or when an update is coming...

1.5 on the otherhand is bug free (no fatal bugs anyway) and uses next to no cpu in comparison Very Happy

I just can't find it anywhere.
