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.

Kontakt 7 "Content Missing" prompt
I've been trying to load a few 3rd party libraries (8dio and sonuscore), but I've been hit with the missing content prompt. I've tried browsing for the folder, but it doesn't work, I can only browse for the individual files and select them one at a time. Is there a fix for this?

How to Fix Long Load Times for Instruments
Hello, When I load an instrument in the Kontakt 8 library, it can take up to 30 seconds to load that instrument before I'm able to use it. I'm using Cakewalk, by the way, to run Kontakt 8. I currently have all my Kontakt vst's on an external hard drive connected USB. I'm wondering if this is why it takes so long to load?…

How do you assign NI Circular or Lores instruments to separate tracks in Logic Pro?
I recently add Circular and Lores to my collection of NI instruments, which I use via the recently updated Kontakt 8.8.0 player in Logic Pro 11.2.2 on MacOS Sequoia. When I add a Circular preset to a new track in LP, four instrument layers become available. I would like to assign each of the four instrument layers to a…

Cinematic Studio Woodwinds Bug - Legato Not Working Properly, Causing CPU issues
Hello, I've attached a video as I think it illustrates my problem best. For some reason, this flute line causes the last note to extend infinitely, and on top of that the last two notes don't work properly. The first one cuts out early and the second one comes in late. I've copied and pasted this midi and settings on other…

Getting Session Bassist to play "normal" melodies?
Hi! This is a question that I hope has a really simply answer, but I can't figure it out. If I have a Midi track, and tell Session Bassist (with a "melody" patch turned on) to play it, the track seems to get all these (apparently random) variations and tweaks, presumably to simulate the experience of having it played as a…

Kontakt Slow to load even before I load an instrument/Sample Library
Hi Guys. So I updated Kontakt. It was working fine before, but now it takes over 2 minutes, just to Load an empty Kontakt instance, before even Loading an instrument or Sample Library. I am using FL Studio 2025, all up to date. I even tried it in Reaper and Studio one. It takes the same amount of time. It also takes the…

Weird Ireland bug in Cakewalk Sonar
Aargh. I'm not sure how to even describe what I'm experiencing here, but I'm having a strange experience with Ireland running in Cakewalk Sonar (current version). Let's say I create a new midi track, and insert an instance of Kontakt 8 (full). I then open the Irish flute from Ireland. I noodle around and things work as…
