Hi, a library is missing its files. I use Spotlight - no. I point Kontakt to exactly that folder - no. What I am missing here? More Infos: sometimes Search Spotlight finds missing libraries (others than this here), sometimes not. Why? sometimes Kontakt memorizes that path after using Search Spotlight, sometimes after…

KONTAKT AND TOOLS
Hi, There is a problem after loading for example a PHRASE. The different MIDI channels that where in the multi don't respond anymore. The only way is to re assign all the MIDI channels. The same if you insert a new instrument in the performance…. It would be nice to check this . Thank you. Jean-Marc

This is an interesting problem. I need a script to change Kontakt Instruments depending on keyrange, and the keyrange will dynamically change with modulation CC#1. This is to select which notes along a guitar fretboard are to be played according to fret positions 0 through 17 assigned by mod wheel. One monophonic…

Kontakt Script to play_note() with keyswitch
I need a script to retrigger a held note when a keyswitch is depressed to change the group. I'm surprised this isn't a standard function to allow changing articulations with sustained notes, unless it's been added since Kontakt 5. The application is for guitar glissandos along a single string. The glissando samples are in…

Why do I have to choose my controller everytime I switch tracks in KONTAKT 8/CUBASE???
I have a 4500+ Orch template, and now everytime I switch to a track in CUBASE my KONTROL s88 MK3 shows "Default MIDI Template" instead of all the controller options for that plug in UNLESS I go to FILE/CONTROLLER and re-choose K88.

The Kontakt 7's library browser is GREAT but utterly unusable due to this one simple flaw
I'm really hoping this is a user error because I find it hard to believe the UX designers missed this one. There's no way to see the full patch names in the search results. Even the detailed view does not show the full name. It shows everything BUT the actual name of the file. There's no tool tip for the search results…

Kontakt Insert FX Presets
Hi everyone, pleased to meet you all! I was wondering is there a resource where I can find existing Insert FX preset chains that are already configured for vocals. So think like I have an instrument with chopped vocals, mostly adlibs, but duplicated zones are routed to different busses and outputs. It's just that the…

I haven't been able to figure out where these files are located and how to get rid of them to recover storage. Any thoughts would be…

Updates have become an absolute mess...
I work on Mac M1 with Sequoia and I use Ableton and work with Komplete 10 still. What started with a sustain pedal adjustment has turned into full on updates, re-routing, a complete nightmare, which now my Komplete S88 Mk2 is not being recognized.
