Please allow us to remove K8 Custom libraries.
I have been waiting months and months. PLEASE FIX THIS!!! There are addresses I introduced through this window months ago, I don't want them here anymore and there is no freaking way to remove them! Deleting the database does NOT fix it. Please stop suggesting that. These values must be hidden somewhere in the Registry or…

Kontakt does not detect my midi input.
This never used to be a problem, yet all of a sudden Kontakt is not receiving input from my Alesis DM10. It is detected by Windows, drivers are up to date. It is detected by Reaper and is set as my virtual instrument/input method. But nothing is shown in Kontakt. Previously I just set MIDI to "Omni" and it would just work,…

Re-assign articulation keyswitches in Kontakt Session Horns Pro?
Is there a way to re-assign the default articulation key-switches in Kontakt (specifically Session Horns Pro)? I'd like to move them from the default C-1 octave to the C1 octave. I've read the manual and searched (here and google), but can't find the answer. Thanks in advance!

Looking for ambient soundscapes, lush pads
I received a $99 voucher from NI when I bought Kontakt 8, and have been searching the site for days, looking for something that's not pop/rock/drums or cinematic scoring. I'm looking for ambient/lush pads because what I'm creating is on the meditative side of things - but the vast majority of what comes up in the NI site…

Can't view long titles Kontakt 7 Library Browser
It's not feasible for me to rename all of these presets from external kontakt pack creators either. This makes the new kontakt interface essentially unusable for me.

crashed validation/failed validation on NI plugins after update
I’ve recently updated my system from 10.15.7 Catalina to Seqouia 15.3.2. I’m on an Intel machine. However I can't seem to get my NI products working in Logic: - When opening Logic, of course the audio-units had to be scanned again, however the Auvaltool quit unexpectedly during scan (a couple of times) - In the Plug-in…

Kontakt 8 and white screen
I'm running OS Version 14.6.1 ,…Just downloaded Komplete 15 etc. On a number of new libraries (Bouqet for ex) as soon as I load it, I get this white pop up window that I can't get out of. I can't click anywhere and have to FORCE QUIT Logic (Latest version). Any thoughts?

Hi everyone, I recently purchased and installed Komplete 15 (original) on my new MacBook Pro with macOS 15 Sequoia and M4 chip, but I am encountering a serious issue. Whenever I try to open Kontakt 8 or Reaktor, my system goes into a kernel panic, forcing an automatic restart. The kernel log indicates an issue with IOMMU…

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. This is so annoying! Anybody have a work around for this please???? Thank you!

They are for archives. See the picture. Do you guys no anything about that issue? I'd appreciate your help. Best,

Compatibility of Kontakt with past versions
I am an amateur. I try to write music for myself. I mostly try to use Kontakt. (I never managed to get much of it). I have upgraded to version 7. I also installed Kontakt player. It was not easy to me to learn the basics of how to use version 6 and then I find out that the GUI of ver 7 has changed!! I feel so tired to try…

Nothing Fits Kontakt
Why is Kontact so awkward. Even NI play series instuments don't fit in the interface. There is no option to use fullscreen so half the instuments are hidden outside of the player. Am I doing something wrong?

Kontakt Script to play_note() with keyswitch
I need a script to retrigger a held note when a keyswitch is depressed to change the group. I'm surprised this isn't a standard function to allow changing articulations with sustained notes, unless it's been added since Kontakt 5. The application is for guitar glissandos along a single string. The glissando samples are in…

Updates have become an absolute mess...
I work on Mac M1 with Sequoia and I use Ableton and work with Komplete 10 still. What started with a sustain pedal adjustment has turned into full on updates, re-routing, a complete nightmare, which now my Komplete S88 Mk2 is not being recognized. I updated Komplete Kontrol and managed to get most everything updated with…

Kontakt 8 won't find samples but showing the correct path
Hi, a library is missing its files. I use Spotlight - no. I point Kontakt to exactly that folder - no. What I am missing here? More Infos: sometimes Search Spotlight finds missing libraries (others than this here), sometimes not. Why? sometimes Kontakt memorizes that path after using Search Spotlight, sometimes after…

KONTAKT AND TOOLS
Hi, There is a problem after loading for example a PHRASE. The different MIDI channels that where in the multi don't respond anymore. The only way is to re assign all the MIDI channels. The same if you insert a new instrument in the performance…. It would be nice to check this . Thank you. Jean-Marc

I have to manually connect my Kontrol s88 mk3 to kontakt 7, 8 and Komplete Kontrol every time I change tracks on the DAW (FL studio or Ableton).
