Session Percussionist – Update Available!
Hey everyone, We’ve just released Session Percussionist v1.0.1. What’s new? This update cleans up some old behind-the-scenes code that won’t be supported in the upcoming Kontakt 8.4 (coming mid-May). Don’t worry, it doesn’t change how the instrument sounds or plays. Why update now? If you install Kontakt 8.4 before…

Session instruments: Can you delete the pattern and loop instruments and data?
Hello, so for years I've been hesitant to install most of the "Session" instruments - I'm very interested in the playable instruments, not at all in patterns and loops. Which take up most of the expensive SSD space. So I was just thinking: Can you specifically delete the portion of a "Session" instrument that's for loops…

Learn Midi CC Question
I am working on a project and wanted to automate volume and bow noise with Session Strings 2. This is after all my parts have been previously recorded. It will not work. I then tried with the horn section using Session Horns Pro 2. Same result. I opened up a new project and loaded Session Strings Pro in order to test my…

Modulating Sidepane Navigator Volume/Pan
The latest update for Kontakt player 8.4 lets us draw in automation for the Sidepane Navigator Volume/Pan. However we cannot record movement in or assign it as a modulation destination in Bitwig (I imagine Ableton live too). Any ideas?

How do I stop constant Kontakt 8 pestering in Kontakt 7?
Every time I open K7 or maximise it in Ableton I get a message telling me about K8. I don't want K8 as I wasn't impressed with it and the player version shows me adverts all the time so I don't use it. I don't want it and should only have to say so once.

Start up in classic view
please add an option to start up kontakt in classic view just like it always did. i have no desire to use leap, i want to start creating sounds like every kontakt version up until now. starting in the new default mode means i have extra clicks to make, its annoying. double clicking in default mode creates a new leap…

How do I find WHERE Native Access has put my library?
Dear Anyone. Got a free - legit - electric strings library, serial number xxxx (this is to prove it's free and I'm not trying a scam, as it's a legit. freebie it doesn't matter that the serial number's here!) I put its serial into Native Access, thinking it would ask me where I wanted to install it, so I could say my…

My Kontakt 8 insert suddenly flips to the Free Player version
I am running the latest Pro Tools, and I created an instrument track. I then created a Kontakt 8 insert and from there loaded Arpology X. I then recorded some music and everything was fine, until suddenly, unprovoked, meaning I wasn't doing anything, the insert fliped from Kontakt 8 to the free version, which of course…

Why does it take 4 clicks to resize the Kontakt window
When is kontakt going to be updated from 1990 software to 2025. Why do we have to use the archaic interface that has been outdated for years? Just an example, to resize to default view, which wouldn't be a problem if kontakt would update the interface, you have to click file, options, resize and close. Just ridiculous. If…

Choir Omnia synchronisation issues
I have issues with Choir Omnia. When I want to play recorded MIDI notes and stop the playback and play it again then it starts with a slight but significant delay. Only when I wait a while before playing it again is it played synchronised again. Is the problem known by anyone?

Remove older instances of Kontakt from Native Access
Hi, Does anyone know how to remove older instances of Kontakt (in my case, 6 and 7) from Native Access? I'm doing the auto migration option and have manually deleted all the relevant files from these apps. Yet they still appear in Native Access with the orange exclamation point alert and a prompt to "repair." This is…

Kontakt 8.1.0 extremely sluggish, unusable.
Mac Studio M2 Max 4TB / 64GB / 12CPU / 30 GPU / Sonoma 14.7.2. I launch Kontakt 8.1.0 standalone, and the interface responds to mouse clicks after a few seconds delay each time. E.g. I click on an instrument and wait 3 seconds for it to become highlighted. I double-click and wait a few seconds for anything to happen. With…

Chords Tool Connundrum
Just got the Kontakt 8, horray. Just trying to figure it out, and my first hairy eyeball comes with the Chord tool. I hit a D on the keyboard, and it plays, like an Asharp or something. I don't understand… Why doesn't a D play a D chord, and maybe some keyswitches a couple of octaves away have the various voicings, modes,…

Kontakt7 with VelvePro
I bought VELVE Pro yesterday, but unfortunately I'm having a lot of problems installing it. I keep getting error messages about the paths. I've tried everything possible, but it just doesn't work. I thought the installation would be as straightforward as with Session Guitarist or Symphony Strings. Now I have to get into…
