Action Strikes Kontakt 8.8.0 w/ Maschine 2.18
Hi, Introducing in a track the preset Rise of the Machines on Kontakt 8.8.0 with Maschine 2.18, the Send effect section does not seem to work. The effects seem embeded in the preset and bypassing delay/reverb or changing their settings seem to produce no difference, effects seem always on no matter what. Changing Reverb…

INFURIATED at NI's theft and refusal to offer customer support
Around a decade ago, I spent some $400 on Kontakt 5 to run NI plugins and third-party plugins in FL Studio. I have used it for over a decade with great success. A few hard drives later and I am now doing a full fresh re-install of my studio computer. I have been able to re-install EVERY other piece of software EXCEPT…

Will Kontakt8 see a return of the Wrench Icon for editing/scripting, Yes or No? Please tell us.
The Wrench Icon! As a maker of microtonal music the wrench icon was the sole reason I upgraded to Kontakt years ago. Now, without 'the wrench icon' there is no ability to do microtonal music or abnormal tunings. As of K7 it seems to be rare for an instrument have 'the wrench' anymore.Thankfully I recently realized the old…

Unfortunate mistake of trying out NI offers for the first time
As evident from the title I made the unfortunate attempt of trying out a free offer by ordering the Free Komplete bundle thingy. I was lead here from the results of my search for a free light version on "Kontakt" fancy spellings and all. A music producer friend recently told me that he swears by everything fancy shamancy…

How to find Quick Load in Kontakt 8
I quite like Kontakt 8 in most regards. But, I am finding myself still using Kontakt 7 quite a bit, solely because of one issue. That is, I have a certain number of manually installed libraries - these are the ones where the developers are too cheap to buy codes from NI, so you have to faff around and add them to Quick…

Kontakt 8.13 crashes opening older nki's (K4)
I have noticed unstable behavior with K8 especially opening older .nki instruments that are from 2014 or earlier. Kontakt simply closes with the crash reporter. There is a workaround however: you need to create an "empty" instrument first before you open anything. Just double click into the area on the right (classic view)…
