This is more of a Kontakt issue than a GP issue. And it looks like this is a common issue, but I figured I would raise it here because it is such a great community.
I am using Kontakt 6.7.1 (and latest version of GP)
Kontakt works fine with other libraries, but, for some reason a new library, Growlin’ Sax, is very slow to load (the one plugin along takes 4 minutes!).
The developer suggested doing batch re-save. That worked once, but then it reverted back.
Now, it doesn’t seem to make any difference when I do it again.
Windows Defender is off and I even tried pointing exclusions to that folder.
So, I figured I’d raise it here in case anyone has any suggestions.
It’s a little weird. When you drag the nki into Kontakt, nothing appears to happen, except there is a small icon that shows up. You can’t tell if it’s loading. (I can get you a screenshot I took tomorrow).
Then, if I drag the l nki in.again, you get the blue waiting circle for about 4 minutes before it loads up.
Do you think I should create the Kontakt user preset while in GP or stand-alone?

[Also another thought is that this library uses a proprietary plugin called “Smart Delay”. This is used in recording midi. It runs through the midi data and it is intended to make the saxophone sound recording sound more realistic. It is not relevant for me (real time live use).
Since I only use this for real time performance, I did not install this plugin. But, maybe Kontakt is looking for it and this slowing down loading?]
It might be a bit easier to do it in GP. Then I would save it as a new Gig File. So, it should load up using the new preset as part of the saved state.
But, I have that other theory I am looking into too (regarding Smart Delay).
