Lost instrument in Kontakt 8
Hello, today I was working on a project with some Kontakt 8 tracks (on Cubase 13) and all was as usual. Just as I want to change an instrument, I launch Kontakt 8 VST in my DAW but it doesn't list the instruments. So I close my daw and go to Nativ Access 2 to check if all is ok: yes, all is ok. I launch Kontakt 8 in…

oh boy..A Mac vs Windows Discussion
Here's my situation. I;ve had it with Windows. My machine runs ok in Windows 11 (Dell Workstation, 32gigs ram, some i7, blah blah blah) and I only very recently caved in to Win11 from Win10. The OS seems like a house of cards to me now and I sure don't like their business strategy and how they try and invade your privacy…

Loading / Unloading time suddenly increased
One week ago I noticed, that it took a much longer time to load a new Kontakt instance. Closing a Kontakt instance needed 13 seconds. I have a Cubase 14 Pro template with 700 tracks, all deactivated and it was unable to work. I got that issue fixed with disabling the GPU WIN+R —> "C:\Program Files\Native…

Kontakt 7 / 8 hang for 5-10s when a Cinematic Rooms plugin is active anywhere in the project
Hi, I’ve discovered that when any instance of Cinematic Rooms (VST2 or VST3) is active on any track (even FX or Group), Kontakt (7 and 8 player, but not Kontakt 5).8 freezes for about 8–10 seconds every time its instrument editor window is closed. This is either with or without a Kontakt instrument loaded. The file→options…

Session Guitarist: Electric Ruby Deluxe very slow
I found that opening 'Session Guitarist: Electric Ruby Deluxe' is very slow and laggy. It is much slower than other Session Guitarist products. Can this issue be fixed? My computer is very new! 265K CPU, 128GB RAM, PCIe 5.0 SSD. However, opening 'Session Guitarist: Electric Ruby Deluxe' is still very slow and laggy.

No Heavyocity Foundation instruments work
Heavyocity Foundations Piano, Staccato Strings, Synth Bass, Emotive Choir, and most recently Staccato Brass (all of them Foundations) show as being installed on the Heavyocity Portal, but not even visible in Native Access; I have Kontakt Player 7.4.2. Heavyocity GP02 Vocalise works fine after a huge amount of work. I don't…

Connecting KKS49 to new library
How do I link an nki library to my Komplete Kontrol S49 browse function. I downloaded a Wavesfactory mellotron library on to my hard drive in a dedicated folder. When I click on the nki file and then search for mellotron in Kontakt the instruments appear and if I scroll through I get a brief sample sound. However the…

No sound from Kontakt 7 in DAW
Since the last Kontakt 7 update, I’m not getting any sound in Cubase 14 Pro. Kontakt reacts to MIDI signals, and I can see the volume meters moving (inside Kontakt only), but there’s no audible sound. Kontakt 7 still works perfectly fine in standalone mode. Reinstalling didn’t solve the problem. In Cubase, I had to switch…

Kontakt crashes after inactivity
Hi guys! I've been experiencing an issue for the past year or two, where Kontakt crashes after a period of inactivity both in standalone and in DAW. So if any given Kontakt instance isn't receiving any active MIDI input for a period of time (starting at around 20-30 mins from my experience), it will crash. In standalone it…

Kontakt 7 choir - can I extend the range of voices eg the bass?
Ordinarily you'd find the spanner icon and select the keyboard part then drag the range upwards. But with the Kontakt 7 instruments the spanner icon is missing and there's just a NI logo instead. In the choir instrument the bass only goes to A2. Bit low - I need Bb2. Pitch bend doesn't go the whole semitone up. How can I…
