Session Guitarist updates and compatibility with Kontakt 7/6
Hey everyone, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Session Guitarist series, there was an update for all the libraries, with the MIDI drag’n drop feature, updated riff and phrase modes, and NKS2 support. Unfortunately for those who were using these libraries with Kontakt 7 or 6, this breaks compatibility. For those who…

Session Guitarist Upgrade
Will the previous Session Guitarist never be upgraded? I can't preview it in the song browser, which is very inconvenient. Can NI upgrade it? Or listen to the pattern browser. If you are satisfied with a pattern, can you directly enter the song directory of this pattern? For example, hold down the shift key, etc. Session…

While loading any leap expansion instrument into Kontakt it loads sounds ok but it won't show it's performance view. Only blank grey rectangle where performance view should be.

I bought Kontakt 8 full but NI CS say I cannot have Conflux or Leap Expansions
So I bought Kontakt 8 full (i.e. not Player) through the FL Studio bundle expecting to get Conflux and Leap with 12 expansions as advertised on the NI product pages but these are not included or available in Native Access. Here is the product information from the Kontakt 8 page: Customer services are tardy in their replies…

Why does the Kontakt team keep neglecting UX—starting with poor tagging capabilities?
Hello I wanted to touch base on the tagging feature handicap that has been mentioned in multiple threads over past few years without any comment from the Kontakt/KK product team, leaving us with tedious workarounds that do not work as we'd expect anyway: With thousands of presets being added each year by library developers…

Get latest libraries updated for K7/Session Guitarist updates
Hi! I updated Session Guitarist libraries without knowing that from now they won't load in K7. There wasn't any warning about such major change to libraries I bought and use with K7. As a result I have message "your version of Kontakt is too old…". Last year @Jeremy_NI posted a list of libraries for K6 for those users who…

How Do I Change the Pitch Bend Range in Ashlight?
Hey all! I'm currently stumped regarding this. In Ashlight, the pitchbend range by default is a whole octave and I've like to change this to 1-2 semitones for greater control/playability. I've gone into Kontakt's backend and that hasn't proven to be fruitful either. Using the Mod Source panel, I can change the range to 13+…

Loops Interface Disappears (KT-11173)
When using Loops, if I close the interface, the controls will disappear. To make them reappear I have to load Kontakt into a new track and reload Loops. But if I close it again, the same thing will occur. Anyone else having this issue?

Snapshots vs banks, automate snapshots
This is not a question, I want to share a discovery of mine that could be useful to someone else, and possibly hear what you think of it. Snapshots are a rather new way in Kontakt to save instrument variations. You load an (open for modification) instrument, tweak the envelope, add an effect and you save a snapshot of this…

Compatibility of sampling sound sources that can be used with Kontakt 3
I am Japanese. I'm not good at English. Please understand. I'm thinking of buying a new sampling sound source. However, it is written that the sound source is old and supported by Kontakt sampler 3 or 4. When I asked the manufacturer, they said, "I can probably use it," but can I use it with Kontakt8? Bolder Company.…
