Some Kontakt libraries stopped working outside of standalone mode
My Spitfire Solo Violin works fine in Kontakt 7 standalone mode, but I get the "instrument not initialised" error when using Spitfire Solo Violin in my DAW (Samplitude). Native Instruments has a thread on this topic cited below this post. From the thread, it is suggesting that Kontakt is not configured properly in my DAW,…
SAM Promotional Order not processing
I'm trying to purchase the SAM promotional offer for 50% off but the sale isn't going through. It's telling me to check the cart which I have. Anyone else with this problem
Can the Cremona Quartet be tuned to just intonation?
I would like to tune Cremona Quartet to just intonation. I feel that Script Editor of Edit Mode is the key. There's 5 slots. One is the plugin's name. If I change that to microtuning, it worked. But then I cannot use main plugin's feature. Other slots doesn't work. How can I figure this out?

Re-assign articulation keyswitches in Kontakt Session Horns Pro?
Is there a way to re-assign the default articulation key-switches in Kontakt (specifically Session Horns Pro)? I'd like to move them from the default C-1 octave to the C1 octave. I've read the manual and searched (here and google), but can't find the answer. Thanks in advance!

I have Kontakt 8 fully updated, running on a PC, with 2 samples (electric storm and rickenbacker bass. when i start Kontakt and load the samples and press buttons on either my screen or keyboard, i get the audio effects from electric storm fine. when i load the rickenbacker bass, all i hear is my normal keyboard sound??…
Kontakt 7 vst3 not found by Live
Just made the switch from an old intel mac (2016) to an M4. I migrated via a time machine backup, and did a fresh reinstall of Native Access and Kontakt. When Live opens in Rosetta, there's no trouble finding/ opening the plugin, but opening natively it cannot be located. I should be on the most recent version of the vst,…
Kontakt does not detect my midi input.
This never used to be a problem, yet all of a sudden Kontakt is not receiving input from my Alesis DM10. It is detected by Windows, drivers are up to date. It is detected by Reaper and is set as my virtual instrument/input method. But nothing is shown in Kontakt. Previously I just set MIDI to "Omni" and it would just work,…
Can't view long titles Kontakt 7 Library Browser
It's not feasible for me to rename all of these presets from external kontakt pack creators either. This makes the new kontakt interface essentially unusable for me.
Possible malware?
Hi there, My antivirus has captured some files with names like this one: Drop.Win32.WinDirControlSet.716319, and associated it as being related with Kontak 8 and iZotop installation paths. They are for archives. See the picture. Do you guys no anything about that issue? I'd appreciate your help. Best,
Compatibility of Kontakt with past versions
I am an amateur. I try to write music for myself. I mostly try to use Kontakt. (I never managed to get much of it). I have upgraded to version 7. I also installed Kontakt player. It was not easy to me to learn the basics of how to use version 6 and then I find out that the GUI of ver 7 has changed!! I feel so tired to try…
Nothing Fits Kontakt
Why is Kontact so awkward. Even NI play series instuments don't fit in the interface. There is no option to use fullscreen so half the instuments are hidden outside of the player. Am I doing something wrong?
Irish Harp Kontakt 8 not visible
The instrument (version 1.0.2) is seen by Kontakt Player 7, but not Kontakt Player 8 (8.3.0 standalone, macos 15). I can only manually select it via File → Load… and it works fine but it does not show up neither in the "Instruments" pane nor under "Presets". I tried to re-install, but to no avail. Works fine in 7 but not…
Updates have become an absolute mess...
I work on Mac M1 with Sequoia and I use Ableton and work with Komplete 10 still. What started with a sustain pedal adjustment has turned into full on updates, re-routing, a complete nightmare, which now my Komplete S88 Mk2 is not being recognized. I updated Komplete Kontrol and managed to get most everything updated with…
KONTAKT AND TOOLS
Hi, There is a problem after loading for example a PHRASE. The different MIDI channels that where in the multi don't respond anymore. The only way is to re assign all the MIDI channels. The same if you insert a new instrument in the performance…. It would be nice to check this . Thank you. Jean-Marc
I have to manually connect my Kontrol s88 mk3
I have to manually connect my Kontrol s88 mk3 to kontakt 7, 8 and Komplete Kontrol every time I change tracks on the DAW (FL studio or Ableton). I feel like this all started when I installed the new Kontakt 8 update… I fixed a problem with Kontakt 8 and Maschine 3 not long ago and now this... it's starting to bother me...…

kontakt8 won't work with my Nektar Impact Lx61+ Midi controller
Hi, I checked all documentation but in Kontakt8 options tab, i can see my Midi controller(under midi) but I cannot assign the port and hence Kontakt8 libraries(chris hein strings) don't work with midi controller. I can use the VSTs library using computer keyboard. Nektar works fine with all other VSTs(keyscsape etc.)
Session Horn vs. Session Horns Pro
Hello, Wish to know if Session Horns Pro overwrites Session Horns or if I will have two instruments if I buy it. Also, can I save presets in Session Horns and re-open them in Session Horns Pro ? Thank you.
The Kontakt 7's library browser is GREAT but utterly unusable due to this one simple flaw
I'm really hoping this is a user error because I find it hard to believe the UX designers missed this one. There's no way to see the full patch names in the search results. Even the detailed view does not show the full name. It shows everything BUT the actual name of the file. There's no tool tip for the search results…
Kontakt Insert FX Presets
Hi everyone, pleased to meet you all! I was wondering is there a resource where I can find existing Insert FX preset chains that are already configured for vocals. So think like I have an instrument with chopped vocals, mostly adlibs, but duplicated zones are routed to different busses and outputs. It's just that the…

I am having an issue with Kontakt 8.21. on Windows 11 in standalone mode. When I save a libray that I created it is not saving all of the samples in to the folder that I select. A few weeks ago I created a small library and saved that to a specific folder. I just added a couple of new samples so I saved this new version in…
