KOMPLETE KONTROL A25

Workaround to install Jacob Collier Audience Choir for Kontakt Player 7.4?
I have an older Mac that can only run macOS up to Catalina 10.15.7 For some reason, Native Instruments restricts Native Access to version 1.14.1 and Kontakt Player to 7.4 on this OS version. Native Access doesn't even see the JCA I've registered to my account in the "Not Installed" list. Outside of "buy a new Mac", what is…

Hi folks, On a M1 Max MBP, 32GB, macOS Monterey 12.6.3. Samples drive containing NI is a 4TB Sabrent NVME in a Sabrent USB 3 enclosure connected to the laptop.

can this type of patch be reproduced using Kontakt??
i came across this video today... and thought how clever the patch was designed to take into account the orchestral sounds.... its an interesting method of layering for a dynamic means of expression... quite cleverly thought out! a experienced person who works with orchestral might have a good gauge on whether the options…

Kontakt 8 Plug-in Mode Interface Problem in Reaper
Hi everyone. I recently purchased Exhale and set it up with Kontakt 8 as a plug-in on my Reaper to sound my pre-written MIDI. Worked fine for a week, but then the interface on plug-in mode opens graphically corrupted and its controls are mostly unresponsive (can select sounds on the side pane only). Standalone mode looks…
How to add the effect into a singular sound/sample in Mapping Editor?
Guys, how can I add the certain sound effect into one singular sample/sound and not the entire custom instrument? Here is what I mean: I tried to choose the sample (the chosen sample is yellow) and use the certain effect, but when I play the unchosen, or the blue sample, it has the same effect s the yellow sample, when it…
Kontakt Crashing In Sonar 8.5 Producer Edition
Hi, it's Annabelle. I just recently moved all my instruments from a spinning hard drive to a solid state drive, and no matter what I do, Kontakt sometimes does this "Error Unhandled Exception" thing in Sonar 8.5. It always did this with a spinning hard drive, but I wonder why it's doing it with a solid state drive as well.…

With other Kontakt instruments I can often immediately see the full list…

Hello everyone, I’m experiencing an issue with Action Strings 2 and would appreciate your help.

ADSR controls for Factory Library Instruments
Hi, NI Community Longtime Kontakt user. Quick question (hopefully) Are there basis envelope controls for the factory library instruments?

How to add a channel to Heavyocity's Gravity Pack 01-04
When I load any of the Heavyocity instruments such as Vocalise, Scoring Guitars etc. it reads 'No Snapshot Uploaded'... So the channel remains as an omni instrument with no way to change it. The only work around I have is to use one instance of Kontakt per instrument, which isn't ideal. Anyone got a fix for this? Thanks,…
Kontakt - Noise (after a while) on moving XY pad
Hello, I have just bought Scene : Saffron. I have been using Kontakt 7 standalone to explore the presets and have been extensively using the XY pad with a mouse.
