Traktor mp4 Stem Packager

I made an app that will take user generated high quality stems made in 3rd party stem creation tools like Logic, AudioShake etc. and package them up properly so they can be imported directly into Traktor as proper stem files. Just drag and drop. It's very similar to the NI one that is outdated and no longer works. The only difference is this one works. Mac only. Would this be of interest to anyone? Is this an appropriate place to post something like this? I don't want to charge for it, just share with the community if anyone would find it useful. I only made it a few days ago and it's been awesome for importing high quality stem tracks for all my music in native Traktor format. All song metadata carries over as well.

Re: Anyone ever bought something and never got the download?

To everyone who assisted me in this thread, Jeremy, PoorFellow and VocalPoint, I would like to extend my thanks and gratitude. I received emails from Native Instruments support team today and the items I purchased are now visible in my accounts. I did need to log out of Native Access and the log in again as a final step in order for the plugins to become visible there. Thank You VocalPoint for your last message it made all the difference in the final steps. If nothing else technology requires patience and perseverance. I did an install of one plugin from my Native Access account to see if it would be recognized in Komtakt Player 8. It did require restarting my computer for it to show up there but it did so I now have confidence to continue adding others. Thanks Again

Re: Is Traktor dead?

I don't work on that team, but what I can say is the general practice for any issue reported is to prioritize it according to the scale (how many users) and severity (how much it affects them) of the issue. It is not simply the number of users, although that certainly plays a role at times.

It appears in this case that we have fairly isolated reports for each of those issues, and that the team has prioritized other work (see the TP3 and TP4 change logs, and soon you'll see what else they've been working on).

That might not be the answer you want concerning those specific bugs, but that's what I'm able to tell.

Re: Is Traktor dead?

There is very likely to be text in all manner of places that is yet to be, or in the process of being updated.

I would encourage everyone to avoid jumping to anything overly conspiratorial.

Nor is Traktor dead; there are software and hardware releases coming.

Maschine mk3/+ modded step sequencer and grid editor

I did it again. After first mikro mod I just want to try how far I can go and I create alternative view for Maschine MK3/+ - new step sequencer with step grid editor.
SHIFT + STEPS to turn it on.

On left screen we can see one bar of pattern, on the right one we can see the whole pattern.

8th knob changes length of the pattern.
4 buttons above right screen shows with SHIFT: GRID, CREATE, DUPLICATE, DOUBLE

Without shift the 8 buttons above screens are working like step sequencer for current active pad/keyboard/slice.

< > buttons are changing the 8 steps scope and bars.

Click JOG to enter jog edit mode, move with jog, click to create step or remove it.
If You're on some step, You can hold SHIFT and move JOG left or right to move step.

You can also edit all steps of active pad by holding the pad.

You can hold the step by jog or by one of the 8 buttons above to enter edit step mode. Four first knobs are: VEL, KEY, POSITION, LENGTH.

What You guys think? I have to put some work on it, polish it out but I think it would be great addition to maschine workflow.

Re: Is it just me, or does Kontakt 8 suck?

Kontakt 8 has a wealth of badly implemented UI elements.

@Lionzinio it may surprise you to learn there are many sympathetic ears to your feedback internally, including the Kontakt team (of which I am a part).

No one would disagree that Kontakt needs to be modernised. Both Kontakt 7 and 8 represent an ongoing transition from "old" to "new" user interface and experience paradigms.

Kontakt 8.0.0 tried to draw a cleaner distinction between "old" and "new" in the form of Classic and Default Views.

What's the deal with both views?

Classic View = Kontakt as it always was. Don't change it, don't mess with it. Let it be, for the users who rely on it as it is.

Default View = modernised Kontakt. More responsive, more flexible, higher resolution, etc. For now, it includes enough functionality for a majority of users, but certainly not all.

Today ~80% of users use Default View. ~20% of users use Classic View. And a smaller subset of these users are annoyed or frustrated by flitting between both.

It is not our intent to have two views indefinitely. But with a product as old as Kontakt, and usability paradigms / behaviors as entrenched as they are for some, a hard binary switchover I think would be far worse.

Rather, we're steadily migrating features from Classic to Default View. Each release brings something more over, sometimes small and imperceptibly, sometimes obviously. And each time we do, a few more users adopt Default View more fully. A year ago, we were at less than 70%, now we're 80%.

We update Kontakt every ~6 weeks or so, and have been on that frequent delivery cadence for a year now. So it's getting better all the time, and especially in 2026 you'll see more obvious migrations of bigger features from Classic to Default View. There will come a time in 2026 or 2027 when we simply turn off Classic View, as Default is now equivalent.

Re: IK Multimedia NKS

MODO BASS 2 NKS

Updated NKS for MODO BASS 2, with updated banks, sub banks and previews courtesy of Mercury. I have removed the 'Classic' tab as it is now categorized as 'Legacy' in the banks menu.

As before, no macro control option for this one (an IK Multimedia thing it seems), but all the rest is in order.

Thanks again to Mercury for his edits.

Enjoy
