That looks very interesting. It certainly looks a lot more modern than Kontakt. I particularly like the "edit like a DAW" feature

the obvious question - will it import or even play natively, existing libraries developed for other engines? Will it play all my Kontakt libraries? What about GigaSampler/GigaStudio? and so on. Inquiring minds want to know...

This looks a million times more friendly than Kontakt for developers. It should massively reduce editing / scripting time. And for small / user libraries, it's so much less nightmare-inducing. CODELESS!
With the NI horrors, I think a lot more developers will be considering this than before. Even if (as I hope) NI gets back on track soon, people now have the fear, and it will be hard to ever regain their dominance imo.
Maybe that Mike Greene can tell us how easy it was to port from Kontakt to Koda?
Beta version maybe 2-3 months away the clever man says.

Somehow I doubt it, or I think it would be pretty buggy, but if they did it would be a game changer.
Copyright issues? I don’t really see why there would be any but I wonder.
