You can’t see information on what an update includes, bizarrely, in the current stable build I’m using. That’s not to say it’s perfect – or, frankly, finished. Having talked to various other producers using NI software, I’ve found a lot of us have gotten up to date with the tool and found it useful. (Me, both those things were true.)Īlso, apart from the interface looking a lot nicer (especially on high-res displays), it’s easier than before to install everything. You may even discover you’re behind on some updates, or that you have sound content ready for you you didn’t even know you owned. Now, the reason I’m bothering to write a post about this is that it can save you headaches versus sticking with Service Center.

Download and re-download products you already ownįinding all the bundled stuff you own is now here in installed/not installed software – replacing the previous installer tool.Manage bundles (like Kontakt), where one serial gives you a bunch of downloads.

You can do several things with Native Access if you own those products: Right now, it covers the current Komplete and Maschine lines, which includes instruments, effects, expansions – basically everything except for Traktor. And odds are pretty good you’ve head a headache with one of those tools at one time or another.Ī new piece of software called Native Access is gradually replacing that. Here’s the deal: NI software has in the past been scattered across a set of manual support downloads and two tools, one called Service Center and one called Komplete Downloader. There’s a good chance it could make your life easier, and keep you up to date with software like the Maschine update that dropped last week. A public service announcement: if you use Native Instruments software, you should probably check out Native Access if you haven’t already.
