This is new. Companies other than Native Instruments use the Kontakt Player as a means of allowing people to use their sounds with VST enabled software. With these packages, the Kontakt Player is customized to these libraries and is included with them. What this means is that if you go and purchase (for example) East West's QL Symphony Orchestra in any of its varieties, it comes with the player that allows it to work with Finale directly. You do NOT have to purchase the full Kontakt. If you have a library that does not include Kontakt Software, such as your old Akai libraries, you will have to have Kontakt (or perhaps Kompakt as well?) to load them, provided Kontakt can read the format of your library. I don't know all of the various packages on the list on MakeMusic's website. Of the ones I do know, all come with what is needed to be loaded into Finale without purchasing something else. You should find information on any particular library you are interested in to verify that it comes with NI software. Tyler __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
