I have one Library ( Galaxy Vintage D) that does not play nice (pops and glitches), but I believe that is Galaxy's fault. Other than that, Kontakt 5 has run strong and stable. So far, the only issue I had was the one mentioned earlier, but that has been cleared up. However, there is a lot of editing and such to be found under the surface, and I mean a lot. Most of the basic functions can be found right on the face of the plugin. Simply load your instrument, set the midi channel to the midi instrument you wish to use (done in the preferences window) and your off.
NATIVE INSTRUMENTS KONTAKT 5 PLAYER MANUAL
The manual is fairly large but contains a lot of info on the many different, powerful tools this plugin has. This would only happen occasionally and after the 5.0.1 update, it has not happened at all. For some reason, my instruments would sound muted like someone had placed foam over my speakers. So far there has only been one issue but it was solved with the latest update.

I run this on a Macbook Pro i7 with and RME Fireface 800 and everything runs great. If you are looking to just do some general propose music producing/mixing, Kontakt is the way to go. Serious composers should probably look at EastWest libraries rather than Kontakt. I used Steven Slate Drums 3 in Kontakt for a long time before he released his own stand-alone application. There are also a bunch of third part sound libraries to consider. And a bunch that are average, Studio Drummer, Classic Pianos, etc. There are a few that I don't like - Balinese, George Duke, etc. There are a few that stand out in my mind - Damage, Alicia's Keys, Session Strings Pro, etc. The sample libraries from NI for Kontakt are a bit hit-and-miss.
Kontakt comes out ahead in my mind because of the amount of libraries available in the Kontakt format, the innovative user interface, the flexibility of use, and the constant addition of new features. There are many sample-playback applications on the market. The round-robin and velocity layer sample playback is easy to set up, but it might take looking through the manual to understand.
I have created sampled drum libraries as Kontakt instruments. I am not an expert user by any means, because there is a whole scripting language that can be used for users that really want to program kontakt. However, Kontakt also allows for deep editing for the experienced user. The libraries are easy to use - just drag and drop and play your keyboard. Kontakt is really easy to get started with. Authorization is completed using the NI Service Center application. It can be downloaded off the NI website and installed.
NATIVE INSTRUMENTS KONTAKT 5 PLAYER SOFTWARE
The software can be purchased as an individual software application, however I received it as part of the Native Instruments Komplete Bundle. You can also also create your own sound libraries in Kontakt with your own samples if desired. Kontakt can be expanded by purchasing more individual sound libraries with more sounds.
It is primarily a 'sample playback' engine and comes with a decent library. Kontakt is a software application and plug-in that can be used as a stand-alone software instrument, or as a plug-in inside a DAW.
