Is DDR5 faster than DDR4?
My Acer Aspire 5 laptop RAM is maxed at 20GB DDR4 2400. Would a DDR5 laptop load NI Session software any faster? I know there are many other variables.

Snapshots vs banks, automate snapshots
This is not a question, I want to share a discovery of mine that could be useful to someone else, and possibly hear what you think of it. Snapshots are a rather new way in Kontakt to save instrument variations. You load an (open for modification) instrument, tweak the envelope, add an effect and you save a snapshot of this…

Compatibility of sampling sound sources that can be used with Kontakt 3
I am Japanese. I'm not good at English. Please understand. I'm thinking of buying a new sampling sound source. However, it is written that the sound source is old and supported by Kontakt sampler 3 or 4. When I asked the manufacturer, they said, "I can probably use it," but can I use it with Kontakt8? Bolder Company.…

Cremona in mode demo
Hello, I purchased "Cremona Quartet" on November 28, 2021. The libraries worked perfectly with Kontakt Player 6 (Cremona didn't work with Kontakt 5, purchased in November 2017). I opened a Logic Pro project from 3 years ago with 3 Cremona instances that worked perfectly, and now I can't open the Cremona instances. Either I…

Issue reopening patch on Logic projects
I use Kontakt 8 on two Macs and work alternately on both. I use Logic 11. The computers have the same OS X and the same software, all up to date. If I load a sound in Kontakt 8 into a Logic project on one Mac and reopen it on the other, I can't find the patch for the sound I loaded. How is this possible? It's so simple!…

Hi, I installed the update of Kontakt 8.6.1 and I now I can't load some Cubase projects that Have Kontakt 7 with instruments missing. Cubase freezes. Previously it worked fine with K8 8.6.0 so I would like to reinstall it but I don't know where I can have this version. Thanks

Midi note plays upon key release - Kontakt 8 VST3 issue
I've narrowed the issue down to the latest version of Kontakt 8 VST3. My DAW is REAPER latest versions and when running Prime bass or Analog Dream for ex, when I release the physical key on my piano, the upstroke signals the note a 2nd time. This does not occur in the AU Kontakt 8 plug in, nor does it occur in the…

Kontakt 8, Leap, and Expansion Icons
Hi, after the latest Kontakt 8 update, when I open a Leap and then browse Loop or One Shot, unlike before, I don't see the icons for some libraries, only the name. And I don't see almost all the icons for expansions, only the name. Why? Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thanks.

Kontakt in Demo Mode only for custom sounds I created
I've had Kontakt Komplete 9 for decades, so I have Kontakt 5,6,7, and 8. When I open a custom NKI file I created from some old Akai presets, it says Demo on Kontakt 6,7, and 8, but on 5 it's not showing Demo. This didn't use to happen with 6 or 7 that I can remember. I'm not getting Demo on any of the usual Kontakt…

Kontakt 8 gone missing on Mac Sequoia
Just launched Logic Pro to find that Kontakt 8 is completely missing. I assume that this is something to do with the recent update. So I reinstalled, restarted the Mac and still nothing. This, along with the missing/uninstallable libraries issue is really getting too much. Any suggestions?

Kontakt 7 & 8 (latest) causes Mac kernel panic and reboots M3 Studio Ultra
Kontakt 7 & 8 will not work on my Mac m3 studio ultra (Sequoia 15.6). When I launch Kontakt 7 or 8 within my DAW the Mac completely shuts down and resets. The stand alone I just get an error stating "Kontakt 8 quit unexpectedly" immediately after launching the app. I never see the kontakt window. The plugins crash my…

K8 - multiple complaints
I have huge list of complaints about K8 "upgrade" from K6, most of which are about the Default View. First, K8 is absolutely not meant to be used with touchscreen. For example in Default View, try to scroll the Instruments list - impossible because the scrollbar never shows up. Or change the zoom to, say, 75% - you now…

Is it just me, or does Kontakt 8 suck?
I am liking the Kontakt 8 interface even less than the previous! I have to switch between default and "classic" views constantly! I switch because many patches for instruments (like from Spitfire Audio) just don't show up, and are noteven searchable!!! But I can find them searching the file system in "classic" view.…

Question about 'Import Content' GUI/Kontakt 7 issues & features
Hi, I believe this hadn't been emphasized enough, but I've got some serious personal issues with how you decided to handle the Import Content section of Kontakt, and i'm shocked that this was not addressed (unless it was in Kontakt 8, but for now I see no point paying for such irrelevant upgrade compared to the state of…

Session Horn - saxophone alto range
Hello It seems that the alto saxophone range is missing higher notes the highest note I can perform is the A, and it should be (at least for a standard range) an F sharp Do you know if there's a chance we can have a full range for that instrument ? (maybe I'm missing a configuration part somewhere ?)

none of my sample instruments show up in the Kontakt 8.1.0 window, nor are they able to be use
I upgraded from Mac OS11 to Mac OS12 and upgraded from Kontakt 7.10.9 to Kontakt 8.1.0. Except for the free Kontakt sample instruments, none of my other sample instruments show up in the Kontakt 8.1.0 window, nor are they able to be used (see screen shot). I zoomed with apple support. They told me that Kontakt 8.1.0 is not…

Kontakt Library
I just bought Kontakt 8 thinking it might solve my sound library problems. But no, it's still the same problem and I really have other things to do than waste my time finding bugs. I have to deliver a new album to my publishing house and I can't do anything. I'm very angry. I need help, It's very urgent Regards Francois
