Performance Problems with Kontakt Based Instruments in Cubase 13/14 Pro
I noticed that some Kontakt based Instruments like Scene Saffron are really heavy in CPU load. Even with high latency of 2028 Samples on a RME Fireface UCXII i got Crackles. But there is no disk load (80GB Ram and fast M2 SSDs) Other NI Plugins as MAssive X have nearly no CPU Load. It is no problem to run 80 to 100…

Konakt 8 Library Management

Kontakt 8 Player makes Ableton super slow

Kontakt 8 + Spitfire libraries = ???
I will readily admit that I am a Kontakt newbie but is anyone else having issues relocating and reloading Spitfire libraries with Kontakt 8? I'm seeing some solutions with V.7 so maybe I'll try to use that instead but was curious if maybe there's a speed bump to avoid? Thanks for any help!

Why isn't the sautille articulation affected by velocity?
I'm currently using the Amati viola with the sautille articulation, and I wanted to control the dynamics using velocity instead of the mod wheel. I have it switched to velocity just like I do for spiccato (which works fine), but it's not reacting to changes in velocity. Even with it switched to velocity, it still only…

Session Ukulele - choose key/progression
When using Session Ukulele in pattern mode, it lets me choose a key, but I don't see a way to pick a minor key. Am I missing something? Does it depend on the preset? If so, how would I know?

Kontakt app takes forever to load in Logic - not libraries, the actual sampler
Hi all, I recently added a bunch of libraries to my Libraries tab in Kontakt and now it takes literally 10 minutes to open Kontakt in Logic.
