I can change whatever I like to suit the project, and Kontakt will preserve those settings. However, after updates to Kontakt, I sometimes encounter a glitch between a project with…

Option to consider

But if it is, or if you’re not feeling inspired, then switch things up, which I sometimes do. How? ‘Surf’ what Kontakt has to offer, instead of social media,…

I am used putting Modulator in LogicPro 10.8.1 onto all parameters I want. Now in Kontakt, it isn't assigning anything. That's to the weird coding of Kontakt I will not understand in my life time. Anyhow, I still want to automate stuff via Modulator. Is there a trick or a way to do so? I tried in Learn Mode to select…

When I open that project, I have no sound. All other projects are fine. This is the second time this has happened to me, where I lost a project…

Anyone else notice that Drumlab often outputs full velocity sample even when velocity is low?
Hi, I am using DrumLab, the Fat->Praise preset. I notice that it is very often the case that hits like snare, HH, play at full or nearly full velocity, even if the note in the DAW (in my case Logic) is a low velocity. For instance, especially with HH samples. If I have F#1, with velocity 50, if I press the note in Piano…
