Kontakt only playing back one of multiple imported MIDI files
I imported a string quartet (as MIDI) into Logic from Finale, and have an instance of Kontakt on each track. I'm only hearing the 1st track that was imported. I've tried copying the MIDI files onto different tracks with regular stock instruments and they play back just fine. What am I missing?

Kontakt - Cubase - Audio Export problem!
Hello everybody, Recently I upgraded my whole system to Windows 10, Cubase 12, and Komplete 13 Collector's Edition, with Kontakt 6 (ver.6.7.1 specifically) and I'm trying to make them work as I was used to with Windows 7 and Cubase 10 ... and I've been struggling for almost 3 weeks now(!), though gradually I have resolved…

Slides for Classic Bass in Kontakt Factory Library
How do I get a bass note to slide using the coloured keys in Classic Bass in the Kontakt Factory Library? It obviously isn't the same techniques used to get guitar slides in Electric Sunburst which I can do easily.

Kontakt 7 Crackling and Popping
I know it's still new, but just an observation. I don't have it in Kontakt 6, nor do I have it in other VSTs (Keyscape, Arturia. etc.) I've changed my Focusrite settings to 44.1k @1024 and I still get it. Like I said, it's only in Kontakt 7. Also, I have 13 Ultimate, but I don't think that is a factor.

Kontakt 7 Crashing on Windows 11
Hello, I am having the same issues as in this thread: It works fine in VST mode. Kontakt 5 and 6 work fine in standalone or VST. I tried the fixes under this page: https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004169849-KONTAKT-Crashes None of those helped.

I can't get Electric Sunburst to play MIDI File
Hello, I'm on Kontakt 6 (Ver. 6.70) using with Nuendo 12. I've got a MIDI part that I want to trigger the Electric Sunburst instrument. I can clearly see that it's getting signal. If I use the cursor or a key from my keyboard to trigger a note, I get sound. But when I play the MIDI part, all I get is the MIDI activity…

Recovery Of .nki, .nkb, .nkx, .nks Files: Is It Possible?
When I woke up Friday morning, May 27, 2022, I thought I was dreaming when suddenly, I heard it! My samples hard drive, the one with all my virtual instruments on it, suddenly started flashing on and off, and after a few repetitions of that cycle, it shut off completely! Now the samples drive isn't even connecting to my…

Audio Imperia Photosynthesis Library sounds distorted
I bought the Photosynthesis Library from Audio Imperia for Kontakt. I liked the audio demos on the NI Website and the Videos on YouTube. Now, after playing for some hours I think the presets sound different to the Demo sounds. There is a lot of distortion in many presets and I think this is not as the producers wanted it…

CPU Hogs - Pharlight, Straylight and Ashlight
Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations on how to use these instruments in Kontakt or Komplete Kontrol without totally blowing out your CPU? One instance of Pharlight in latest Ableton update is enough to overload my CPU to the point of audio breakup. That's on a recently built custom music computer and Windows…

Which libraries has NI given away for free?
I would like to ask the long-time NI users about the libraries NI has given away for free in the past. I know about the Komplete Start and "25" library. I'm curious if there was anything else they released for free before?

MIDI "All Sound Off" command with Kontakt.
Is there any way to kill the output of a Kontakt convolution reverb with a MIDI All Sound Off command? It continues to ring after the All Sound Off command is sent to Kontakt. Bypassing the reverb does a lot, but even that doesn't completely shut it up. Even if it did, I'm not sure you could assign any MIDI controller to…

Kontakt 7 - Reduced functionality in factory retro synths
Hey all, big fan of NI products. I noticed that the factory library "Retro Machines" are now accessible in Komplete Kontrol two ways: Either by opening "Kontakt 7" or by opening "Retro Machines". You get the same sound list but the interface then is completely different. "Retro Machines" shows the cool skeumorphic vintage…

I've tried everything in the manual to create a fall at the end of the note, I've put the automation in the editor (studio one 6) I've put the automation in the track, I have SHP set to On Note, I've tried it on Release, I can physically do it on the keyboard but I can't automate the fall at all. I've set it to touch and…
