Kontakt Player not communicating with any DAW
Kontakt is not properly communicating multi output information to the DAW, albeton or logic. I create my routing in the plugin, one stereo out and multi mono outs for using with Revolution Drum Machine. In the plugin I set up the routing to get kick to one output, snare to another, etc. In live I create all the audio…
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.

Kontakt keeps scanning external drive
Hi all, every time I move from one Kontakt 7 instance to another I can hear my external drive being scanned, so takes 10+ seconds to switch from one track to another. The external drive (not SSD) has no Studio One or Kontakt resources on it so seems to make no sense? I have an SSD drive attached which doesnt cause any lag…

Question about 'Import Content' GUI/Kontakt 7 issues & features
Hi, I believe this hadn't been emphasized enough, but I've got some serious personal issues with how you decided to handle the Import Content section of Kontakt, and i'm shocked that this was not addressed (unless it was in Kontakt 8, but for now I see no point paying for such irrelevant upgrade compared to the state of…
