After recording a track in Pro Tools Artist using String Ensemble with the Kontakt 8 player, I discovered that the velocity controls in Pro Tools do not affect the volume of individual notes. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to activate velocity control?

Will Kontakt Instrument Updates Break Kontakt 7 compatibility?
So recently, udpates to Kontakt instruments have broken all existing instances in my songs of those instruments using Kontakt 6 (and on back of course too). The instruments are simply no longer compatible with Kontakt 6, effectily killing those existing song project files. The Native Instruments official solution is to…
Kontakt 8 not working on Macbook Pro M3/Sequoa
I've just bought the full Kontakt 8 and I cannot get it to work. I've analysed the crash report and the crash likely happened due to an error while scanning or creating directories in the filesystem, possibly related to product installation or configuration. I have given Kontakt and all my NI products full disk access.…

In Electric Vintage, the "muted notes" knob is backwards
In Session Guitar Electric Vintage, when the "muted notes decay" knob is set to long, it instead cuts short when releasing a note, and when the knob is set to short, it instead fully sustains. That's the inverse of what I expected.
Acoustic Sunburst - how to change a pattern from maj7 to major
I'm a fairly new user on Acoustic Sunburst. I have a song where the chord progression is fairly simple (E, D, A) - all major chords. I'm using Acoustic Sunburst to create a finger picking style that matches my song. One of the patterns I really like is: Head In The Clouds. When I play this pattern with my MIDI keyboard and…
Kontact 8 chords copy to Maschine
In Kontakt 8 is the Chords option. The youtube video ( at 8:00) describes the option to copy the chords to your DAW. If I want to do that in NI's own Maschine, the chords are always overwritten or if I want to do all chords at once, they are all on the first beat. This is different from what I can do with Scaler 2, for…

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".
