Is there an update for Spotlight: Ireland coming to fix the bad sustain loops?
Hi folks, I guess this is more of a question for the NI spotlight product owner, but I'm really surprised at the poor quality of the sustain loops on the wind instruments in "fast" playing style. Unfortunately the "slow" playing style has bad intonation in the initial onset - every note seems to scoop upward by enough…

Static on horns
I recently purchased Session Horns Pro. I'm using Kontakt 8 Player on a Mac Book Pro with M3 chip and latest Sequoia OS. On the horns samples there is static along with the note. Some notes the static is minimal or not noticeable, but some are requiring me to put a notch filter on the EQ because the static is so bad. This…

kontakt player controls not showing up for automation
Hi wondering why the volume and pan controls are not showing up the DAW for automation? Seems like an oversight. These controls should be selectable in Ableton or Bitwig for automation or modulation.

Kontakt 8 player and preset selection going to default
HI for some reason many of my kontakt libraries when selecting a preset from the library browser panel on the left of kontakt and then later clicking the right or left preset arrows in the instrument panel causes the next preset to be the default preset rather than the next preset from the one I had selected initially.

Can the acoustic drums be used as separate drums, not only loops
Hi! I'm a newcomer to Kontakt 8 and NI, I'm making my way around the user interface/menu's and have downloaded some of the free software. I'm playing with the acoustic drums, and they have looped patterns, though I'm wondering if they play separate, with each assigned a midi map key. Also, whilst I recall, I altered the…

Make it possible to switch Modulation and Expression placements in GUIs
Annoying thing I see on modern GUIs for NI is the strange misplacement of Mod and Expression controls. These are expressive instruments where it would be nice if they are in the order recommended and used by many users. Many users with composer controls have this order (due to ergonomic benefits): Expression Modulation…

New Kontakt 8 Left Pane Browser should allow search across libraries
Saw that analytics were being added about Classic Browser vs the new one in Kontakt 8, so I figured I'd give direct feedback. Love that the new left pane browser in Kontakt 8 allows audio previews; don't love, at all, that I can't search the whole library unless I click the "library" tab to bring up the full page browser.…

Good morning, I have purchased the Symphony series and when I installed it, it went into a folder in HDC that, despite being large, is almost full.

Moving the keyboard range in Kontakt 8.
I have an SL73 keyboard and installed the great bass from Blue Print yesterday. Unfortunately, I couldn't play the lowest notes, as I'm missing some keys in the lowest range. So I went into the sound editing in Kontakt 8, and transposed the keyboard input by -12. That worked for the low notes, but at the same time, I also…
