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 libraries only show when I am in rack view
I don't like rack view and prefer to see all my libraries on the main page. On top of this I am getting a file not found error for opening some libraries but when I open it in rack view it opens fine. FYI I recently transferred stuff between hard drives and that screwed a lot of stuff up. I cannot redownload everything due…

Greater Realism With Solo Instruments In Band Section Of Factory Library
This is simple but could be a good tip for some… Lets take Tenor Saxophone as an example. What I like to do is switch to the options tab on the bottom left and turn on randomise options, but then only add a little to velocity and volume but leave pitch and pan alone. This can give a more human and realistic sounding…

Organizing Kontakt Instruments
I am reposting this because I was unable to add the appropriate tags on my iPad. Sorry if I'm clogging up the discussions… Like many others, I have used Kontakt since at least version 2 and over the years, my instruments library became unwieldy and difficult to navigate. I found a simple solution recently. I had a spare…

Real-Time Setup for Live Concerts: iZotope + Kontakt
I’m using iZotope tools with Kontakt to automatically adjust sound in real-time during a live concert. This way, the Kontakt instrument matches the mix or a reference track without needing a lot of manual work. I can play live while I control the sound. This is when I play live without any sound-technician helping me.…

Tips and tricks : Nice Bassline
Hello, When I got stuck to writing bassline, sometimes I used the MIDI pattern from Session Bassist instruments and used other sound/instrument with it. Just choose random presets from Session Bassist (in my case Prime Bass), then drag the midi (use the drag icon) from the plugin to your DAW. Drag multiple midi patterns…

Most indispensable organizational tip I ever got
For the longest time, I didn't realize the Quick-Load catalog existed. For anyone not already in the know, you can organize your instruments, banks, and multis any way you like. For instance, I put all my favorite pianos in a virtual directory called (insightfully) "Pianos." If you wanted a pianos directory under another…

Tip: Quickly Change Default VST Mixer Outputs
Kontakt's default VST outputs are a mess! To create 16 stereo outputs assigned to discreet VST outputs in your host by default (my favourite setup), do this: In the standalone app, hit ctrl/cmd+N 16 times, rename each instrument as desired. Save this as an .nkm. In your host, load up Kontakt and the .nkm file. Open your…

Tip: Use Batch Functions to create a channel per instrument
I prefer to use a single instance of Kontakt plugin with multiple instruments, in my DAW, rather than open up multiple instances of the plugin, containing a single instrument. A key trick is knowing about the Batch Functions in the Outputs View. I will configure Kontakt the way I want it, then use Batch Functions → Clear…
