Why have I been locked out of a Kontakt library?
I am using Kontakt 6, and I purchased the East Asia collection some time ago with no problems until now. of course NI are suggesting I upgrade to Kontakt 7, but what if I don't want to and I'm happy with 6? - or is it a free upgrade? The strange thing is, if I load an old project on Reaper or import a track template, this…

Kontakt 7 won't open — crashes 100% of the time, never worked once
I am so let down. I've installed a fresh copy of Komplete Ultimate 14. Fresh system install (M1 Mac Mini from 2020). Tried running it via GarageBand just to test it out. Failed. Wouldn't load. Caused a major system crash. Restarted. Read an online forum that said to add disk access to all the applications. Tried to run…

Can I make a global change to the tempo in Session Percussionist?
Hi I work on a number that goes in 188bpm, but in alla breve, which means that perceived tempo is half: 94 bpm. This is because the final destination is a big band that just loves to play in alla breve. In Session Percussionist I can change the form x2 (double) to 1/2 (half) but only one pattern at the time! So if I want…

Kontakt 7 Xylophone Acts Strange
I was just using the xylophone sound that comes with Kontakt and I noticed that on E4 one of the lower velocities of the sound comes out as an Eb instead of an E. Has anyone else noticed this? It's fun to see that even in the higher quality plugins there are still some minor mistakes here and there

Arkhis parameter automation.
I just bought Arkhis. Lovely instrument. But i'm very much into automation, and trying to automate the filter on one of the layers, i couldn't find a way to automate the parameters. Are they un-automatable. And why is that? Cheers Matias. I work in Pro tools Ultimate 2024 on a M1 mac mini.

Articulation maps producing background rumble when Kontakt 6/7 is used
I have recently bought the 8DIO Majestica Ultra orchestral library for Kontakt. In order to test the library, in Nuendo, DP11 and Studio One - the DAWs where I preferably wish to use it - I have created a very simple project featuring a rack instrument with an instance of Kontakt 7 (fully licensed). The instance is in se a…

Adding AEG & FEG to Noire Piano
Hi, I know how to add AEG & FEG normally but I want to apply it to Noire and it doesn't seem to work (presumably because of the way it's scripted). Does anyone know how to do this if it's possible? It's odd to me that they didn't incorporate this as a feature! Thanks in advance ;)

Is there a way to search User AND Factory content at the same time?
Here's my dilemma in Kontakt 7: I have various user-created snapshots, but I tend to forget about the toggle when I first open an instance of K7, wondering where they went when they don't show up in search. This is because Kontakt defaults to only showing Factory stuff. If I click this little icon, then it toggles between,…
