KONTAKT REMOTE CONTROL default problem - NI KONTROL S61 Mk3 + CUBASE
I accidentally set my KONTAKT to this Default setting (pic 1). When working with CUBASE the Touch Strip and Wheels are not working properly.

Issue with Kontakt 8 Player and Audio routing
Probably more of a niche use case but I believe there's a bug in Kontakt Player 8 (And possibly in Kontakt 8 as well) where the routing of audio isn't handled correctly with the handoff between Native Instruments and Windows/Elgato Wave Link. The observed behavior is that Kontakt Player 8 (KP8) is defaulting to outputting…

I've run Kontakt for ages. I use it every day. I have just downloaded Deep Matter from Native Access, but I forget how to point Kontakt to it. It seems NI's marketing dept don't have an SEO specialist, as finding this basic info is harder than it should be. Not quite as fustrating as Akai, but close. So, I would be much…
