How can I get rid of the +groups output in Kontakt 7 with instances of Playbox?
I can load other instruments into the rack and choose individual outputs, but with Playbox it defaults to Output x + Groups. This is messing up my audio routing. How can I disable this? I found instructions for getting rid of +Groups on the Midi channel put not on the output.

Kontakt Single View Follows Track Selection?
Hi all, I've been trying to streamline my workflow in Kontakt 7.6 and have recently taken a liking to using single view in my workflow in Presonus Studio One Pro. I usually have multiple instruments loaded on a single instance of Kontakt (E.g. the different string sections of Cinematic Studio Strings). However, I've…

Kontakt 8 VST Factory Presets
I just upgraded from Kontakt 5 to Kontakt 8, and am noticing new (to me) VST factory presets of the form "Kontakt MIDI channel 0 program 0" - "Kontakt MIDI channel 3 program 127". I there any documentation about the intent behind these? They seem like a possible alternative to using Banks (which I've always found klunky)…

Import Content Option in Kontakt 8 Gives "Incompatible Files" Error on Almost All Libraries
Almost every library I own that worked perfectly as a tile in the library browser in Kontakt 7 can not be imported into Kontakt 8 without giving me a "Incompatble Files" error on hundreds of files ending in .ncw This is happening to multiple libraries from Zero G, Sonuscore, etc… Batch resave doesn't resolve this either.

Studio One 6.6.2 and Kontakt 8.0.0 Issue
Studio One 6.6.2 and Kontakt 8.0.0 Issue Yesterday I upgraded to Native Instruments Kontakt 8. When I open songs that originally used Kontakt 7, Studio One opens them with Kontakt 8, but no instruments are loaded in Kontakt 8. To make Studio One automatically load Kontakt 8, I have to remove Kontakt 7 from the VST and AU…

Kontakt: Rescanned my folder, instruments disappeared
I have been trying to solve my problem with the support, but they're asking same questions again on an endless loop, so I'm turning to find help from the community. I was running Kontakt 7.6.1 and had several instruments installed to my "F:\NI Libraries" folder via Native Access. They were properly shown in the Library…

Does Kontakt 7 or 8 allow midi learn for the mute and solo buttons?
Trying to discover is Kontakt 7 or 8 full version allows midi learn or some other way to control the mute and solo buttons per slot, per instrument. Need to be able to turn instruments off and on like an organist would in pulling out stops and pushing them back in. Someone at Native Instruments sent me a screenshot of a…

Sustain Pedal Not Holding Notes (Only for 2 inst.)
My sustain pedal works fine in the DAW with anything but Kontakt 7, specifically for the MG Soft Acoustic Guitar and the Jacob Collier Audience Choir. When pressed down and released, the MIDI shows that it's working, but it holds no note. I've checked the MIDI settings and it's set to 64. Any suggestions, guys? Thanks!

How in the hell do you contact support
I’ve been trying to figure out how to talk to someone in NI support! Appears they do not want to hear from you. Contacting support should not be this difficult and NI canned answers don’t cut it!

A small clip on Leap-Looper in Kontakt 8
I found that videos on Youtube did not cover the looper adequately so I made my clip. I think it is self explanatory. It's my first try at a video from screen capture. https://youtu.be/zE7l11OqEXw

Starting loops in sync with playing
New to the Kontakt platform, starting out with Komplete 15 and Kontakt 8. In some of the demos on YouTube, drum loops seem to start nicely in sync with playing an instrument. Can that be done in Kontakt? For example, in this demo at 14:40 the drum loops just starts right along with the keys. How is this set up within…

Upgrade K6 > K8, multi-outs-cofiguration (and library)
Hi, in short… It took me a long time to create multi-out presets especially for my drum machines (forgotten keys, stock library). Will they work in 8 or do I have to re-create them (please not!!!)? They have been saved as Track Templates in REAPER, perfect multi-outs in tracks, all ready-to start…will they perform? Do the…

Is there ever going to be a normal program increment/decrement function in Kontakt
There really needs to be a simple up/down program change function like what is used in the uHe synths like Diva, Hive, Zebra etc. It's so easy to use with a simple "press the up arrow to go back, press the down arrow to go forward." Kontakt is so fiddly, you have to position the cursor over the small triangle .NKI change…

Kontakt 8 : Big problem with NKS instruments migrated from Kontakt 7
Hi, So I successfully migrated my big Cubase orchestral template from K7 to K8, but noticed a very problematic issue. This Cubase template relies of enabling and disabling tracks, to make them active in the project and save ressources. I immediately noticed the "disabling time" went significantly longer with K8, with a lot…
