Some Middle East instruments not playable via my midi keyboard.

Richard Adkins

Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong? Some of the Middle East instruments play via my midi keyboard, but not all. There is no difference between them, I can tell. I'm just changing instruments to try each one out and some will work and others won't. To hear the instrument, I have to use the small keyboard under the instrument in Kontakt. Using my midi keyboard for all of them would be much preferred. :-)

ps. I see now that this is the case with instrument sets, not just Middle East. Is there a way to make all instruments work via my midi keyboard, not just a few?

I recently bought KOMPLETE 13 and am working my way through hearing each instrument. I'm looking forward to upgrading to KOMPLETE 13 Ultimate soon! Great fun!!

What one specifically does not work, screenshot of the instrument?

A lot of them aren't working. Maybe I need to reboot. I'm also running the ADSR Sample Manager and it's been stuck at 93.9% for ages, like 24 hours. lol. I suspect user error, as usual.

OK, no change. For example, with the Middle East instruments, I can load the Melodic Ney and Oud both into the Instrument Navigator and the Oud works on my midi keyboard, but the Ney does not. Always.

When I load in the KONTAKT Factory Library 2-Acoustic Pianos/ Grand Piano, it also won't play and weirdest yet, although playing my keyboard won't make the piano play the keys on screen depress and stay stuck down.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm sorry, I just noticed I posted this to the wrong group. I've moved a copy to Kontakt. 😫
