Is MIDI Guitar 2 and the NEW Kontakt 7 Factory Library a good match? Sorry, but...no!

Описание: Is Native Instruments Kontakt 7 a good match for the JamOrigin MIDI Guitar software solution?

If you already own Kontakt 5 or 6, is there any particular reason to upgrade?
Are the new Factory Library Instruments any good, when played with MIDI Guitar?

Kontakt 7 is described by Native Instruments themselves as ”The latest evolution of our flagship instrument platform - now with an enhanced browser and overhauled Factory Library”

In this video, I go over what is needed for MIDI Guitar 2 users to do, to successfully use/get the most out of the new Kontakt Factory Library 2.
I am also showcasing some of the Instruments that come with the Komplete 14 standard edition.
Furthermore, I ask the question if it is not time for Native Instruments to take the plunge into the MPE end of the pool and start demanding more from their instrument developers in terms of compatibility with other kinds of MIDI controllers.
