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?

Hybrid Keys 2 LowPass filter knob seems hard coded to cc001
Hybrid Keys 2 LowPass filter knob seems hard coded to cc001. There is no cc assigned to it. When I right click the knob it asks "Learn CC Midi automation". So there is no cc assigned to it. I do not want a cc assigned to the LowPass filter knob. How do I fix this? Thanks.
Workaround for access to instruments that use Kontakt that aren't signed up with NI
There are many sample instruments/libraries that work with Kontakt that don't show up for easy insertion. I understand some companies find NI's charge for this ability to be beyond their budget. One of my guitar plugins fits this scenario. I have a folder containing all of my Pettinhouse programs and libraries. When…

GUI Elements From Creator Tools No Longer Respond to KSP Script
I'm building a new instrument and all of a sudden none of my elements are interacting with the KSP Script anymore.

Any advice greatly appreciated!

UI/UX Feedback. Your thoughts?
The more I use Kontakt 8, the more I find I dislike it because of the UI/UX. Okay, seems that the new Default View was created with the ability to toggle the Instrument Header on/off. Fine. Unnecessary, but okay, maybe some like this idea. But, now you ONLY get the gear icon, even on your own instrument you are creating!…

Migrating Quickload to Kontakt 8 on Windows
How do I migrate the quickload menu from Kontakt 7 to Kontakt 8 on Windows? I have thousands of libraries, meticulously organized, and I really don't want to have to rebuild everything.
