CLAIRE Sustain Pedal LED always on
Hi there, a small question: the Sustain Pedal LED in Piano > Anatomy > Resonance is always on in my version of CLAIRE, even if no external keyboard, and hence no sustain pedal, is connected to the computer at all.

Where is Lo-fi Vibes Located?
Unsure where to find this on my MacBook Pro because I am not as fluent on OS as I am in Windows. Appreciate it! I use Native Access to install and launch everything. This computer is solely dedicated to my Native Instruments stuff so everything is the default settings from their end and I don't move stuff around. I do my…

Libraries not showing up in Kontakt (6.8.0)
I've always been using Kontakt 6.8.0 because that's how my sounds are saved. Recently I installed Kontakt 8 Player from Native Access and I believe that had caused the problem somehow. And now I can't open up lots of projects without crashing in Logic Pro. I'm finding that in standalone mode, Kontakt is missing a lot of my…

How Do I Adjust Pitch Bend Range in Kontakt 8?
I realize that some VSTs made for Kontakt don't necessarily allow this, but in general, how do I change the PB range in Kontakt 8? I am working with the OddSound MTS-ESP Suite, which allows for microtunings, and in order for the tunings to sound their best, it is necessary for the mod wheel and the VST match exactly.…
