Unfortunate mistake of trying out NI offers for the first time
As evident from the title I made the unfortunate attempt of trying out a free offer by ordering the Free Komplete bundle thingy.

How to find Quick Load in Kontakt 8
I quite like Kontakt 8 in most regards. But, I am finding myself still using Kontakt 7 quite a bit, solely because of one issue.

Kontakt 8.13 crashes opening older nki's (K4)
I have noticed unstable behavior with K8 especially opening older .nki instruments that are from 2014 or earlier. Kontakt simply closes with the crash reporter.

Kontakt Not Finding My Libraries
Hi all, My SSD recently crashed, so I'm rebuilding my PC now. All my libraries were saved on another hard drive, which is safe.

Any way of trialling Kontakt 8 to check compatibility?
So I have Kontakt 6, Kontakt Player 7 and Kontakt Player 8. A free instrument I want to try out says it requires 'Kontakt Player 7' but after spending some time trying to get it to load, I suspect it actually requires Kontakt 7 (not just the free player). All I want to do is try the instrument out. But: a) I don't know for…

Studio Drummer Step Recording
Is it possible to do step recording with Studio Drummer in Maschine? I would like to be able to load the different drums used in a SD KIT into separate sound slots in Maschine. I found some one-shots that look like they came from SD, but they seem to be incomplete. For example I found tom toms with garage/session/studio in…

Cremona Quartet Solo legatos don't seem to be legato on DAW playback
Hi there, I'm running into an issue with Cremona Quartet Solo. I thought that I would be able to have the instruments play legato by selecting legato-capable articulations (Virtuoso, Sustain) and specifying Finger, Bowed, etc as the legato type. I overlap my MIDI notes as usual. On playback, the legato seems to be…
