LOADING INSTRUMENTS IN CONTACT / CHANNELS / ADDING INSTRUMENTS
In the previous versions of KONTAKT, when adding an instrument, it was loaded incrementally and the MIDI channel was updated incrementally in automatic (1, 2, 3 etc). Now the instrument loads and replaces the one already loaded and the channel is set to OMNI. Is it possible to change that?

Setting preview volumes per-instrument

Why does Kontakt reset dynamics value whenever I close and reopen session in Logic Pro?
I bought Kontakt 8 yesterday and I ran into this problem. Whatever I set to be the dynamics value on an instrument, it will be back to minimum value when I restart the session. At first I thought this was a problem with a freebie orchestra instrument I was using, or something written to a midi event, but I tested and it…

How to use phrases from free libraries?
Hi! Bear with me cause I’m pretty new on trying to understand Kontakt. Using it for playing Kontakt libraries I can but understand and work with the program, not so much. My question is: In several smaller and often free libraries (like Warhorns from Sonuscore) I find that each phrase or sound is assigned to just one key…

I updated Circular on 11/14/25 to version 1.1.0, and inside Kontakt it now shows as engine version 1.5. After the update, every single one of my songs that uses Circular is suddenly out of tune. These projects all played correctly before the update. What I’m seeing now: MIDI notes that previously snapped to the selected…
