Session Percussionist - switching out instruments into existing patterns
Before posting this, I watched the official NI Walkthrough, RTFM, and searched through previous Community threads on Session Percussionist. When replacing an existing Instrument, it also replaces the established pattern. For example, in the snapshot Shuffle Bells, the Cajon Studio A has the following pattern that I quite…
Two Kontakt issues
Hello, I'm setting up Kontakt 8 on a new Macbook (this will be my second, remote computer as a supplement to an iMac). I've been working all week to create parity between the two machines (both silicone Macs). I'm running into a few issues with Kontakt and would love some advice from this excellent community. When I open…
Kontakt Panning Left Logic Pro X
Hi, When I load a Kontakt instrument it plays everything in only the left channel. I can "fix" it by adjusting the pan on the track but I can't find a way in Kontakt to make it work right. I'm loading the instrument as a Stereo instrument. The pieces default their output to fx→main out. I can't find where the pan for that…
Key Switches and Notes
I'm thinking about buying Electric Storm, but I'm puzzled. Key switches are from C1 to G#1, I think. The 8-string is tuned from C1 upwards. How does it know whether to play the note or change articulation?

Native Access 2 wont let me reinstall a plugin
This isn't my first time uninstalling a plugin on my iMac. I do it at least once a year and never have any issues. Recently, I've moved all my plugins to a different external drive and deleted all files from my computer and all the source files to the best of my knowledge. The Plugin is called "Shake, Shimmer, Strike 2"…

Disabled tracks with Komplete Kontrol & K7 freeze Cubase after upgrading to K8
So I have a couple of templates in Cubase which heavily use both Komplete Kontrol and Kontakt 7. I use the disabled track template method, so there's a whole bunch of these loaded instantly, but disabled. I just upgraded to K8, while also updating Komplete Kontrol (was still on Native Access 1). Now when I try and enable…

Phrases Tool in Kontakt 8 Multimode Logic Pro
Hello, This has been my experience so far in Logic Pro. The Phrases Tool takes over the midi channel of the last instrument added to a multi, then also takes over the midi channel of any other instrument added after the Phrases Tool. I have not been able to change the midi channel of any instrument that has been taken over…
No Sound (Kontakt 8, MacBook Pro, M1 Max 64GB RAM, MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1
Everything seems to otherwise work. However, I cannot get a sound out. I use Presonus Studio One 7 Pro. Other VST/Plugins work just fine, only Kontakt (no matter the Instrument I choose) won't produce a sound. Any ideas?

Turning Kontakt 7 into Nagware?
Turning Kontakt 7 into Nagware? Really? Are you folks at Native Instruments completely crazy? I was at the fence to buy Kontakt 8. Not anymore. I do not support such backyard business practices. I will now have a look to replace all my NI stuff. And warn any potential buyer. I have better things to do than to click away a…

No USB-C MIDi signal from Kontrol S61MK3 keybed.
After all the latest updates, the USB-C MIDI signal suddenly disappeared, although the latest operating system of my MAC detects all the MIDI ports of my S61mk3. All standalone and DAW instruments also do not receive a MIDI signal. Before that, my Kontrol s61mk3 stopped responding to the launch of Kontakt 8 and Komplete…
Kontakt 8 freezing computer system
New here and I guess I keep posting discussions rather than asking the question! Duh…. Been having a rough go with Kontakt 8 and crashes and freezing. Completely stopped me for days now. I've updated everything via Native Access and all good to go. I replaced the external drive that the files were on with a brand new USB 3…
Download failed
Hello all - first time I've gotten this one: download failed, could not create new file or truncate existing file. This was for the Groth update (yes, I know the screenshot shows v. 1.0.0.) I did check the installation paths, which are all good; also installed latest version of Native Access. Thanks in advance for any help.
Kontakt is not loading samples until they're played (Kontakt 7, Kontakt 8)
I'm having the same problem described in this other thread. That thread was marked as resolved, but no solution was described. I'm using Pro Tools in my case. When I load up my various templates, all my Kontakt instruments will load up, but not the samples. When I play notes, it will load up the sample for each note I…

MIDI Keyboard Not Working with Kontakt 8 Tools
When I first updated to Kontakt 8, everything worked fine. Then in the last week, my MIDI keyboard no longer works with either the Chords or Patterns, except the E and B notes. The keyboard works fine with any of my Kontakt instruments, however. The settings seem to be the same as before. Any suggestions? Mel
