Ask Kontakt 8 creators anything

Fully scalable GUI by any chance? Also, the site shows Phrases and Chords under “Tools” listed separate to Kontakt. Are these useable in KK and is that getting an update with the sidebar coming back? I’m still on KK 2.9.6 and have no plans to move until it’s fixed. Thx.

"It was not long ago Kontakt 7 was released. Some users have large templates, a Kontakt release should preferably be 4 years apart (or more). Migration in large templates is an issue. With shorter release schedule I question what features we are getting, still no full GUI scalability is available. Short releases can be perceived like NI are just milking customers for more money"
What is the point of this rant? Kontakt 7 isn't going to suddenly stop working over there.
If you do not like Kontakt 8 (or it's release schedule decisions) - don't buy it.
Nobody is forcing you to do anything.

I actually liked kontakt 7? I see the now you cannot select your library on the side panel.. where as older libraries would show.. in komplete control you can't see old libraries and there thumbnails are blank folder icons.. I don't about this one.. I was hoping for komplete kontrol app to get the needed fixes such as chord assistant.. we will see ..

I hope kontakt 8 either improves scanning my old libraries properly in the new browser, unlike 7 (ie the trombone 3 and some old libraries) and/or keep the old rack system, where they are still detected and displayed…

@Vocalpoint hes asking for a better way to migrate huge templates from kontakt n to kontakt n+1.

Is that what it was?
I guess there is a normal, reasonable way to open that discussion.
This was not it - at all.

one of the biggest features I miss!! the drag and drop of KK!

I'm really excited about kontakt 8, and what I'm wondering is if you'll update the Play ASSIST feature in the S3 midi keyboard at the same time as you update Kontakt 8!l update Kontakt 8 with the Play ASSIST functionality in S3 at the same time!

I completely agree, improving the GUI would be one of the first priorities at this point, especially if they are releasing a major update. It looks blurry on Windows when using HiDpi settings for example, and it's the only one plugin which does that.

It is but that’s separate from Komplete

Is the whole GUI, inclusive the Editor of Kontakt now scaleable ?
And what about Battery ?1 -
I don't see real innovation in any of the newly announced products.
- To me Leap is a take-off of Playbox.
- The current Ultimate version I use contains a lot of horns and strings which I can more or less already do much with - new brass simply makes little gain.
- Why are we being roped into Ozone?
- It' not clear to many anything new is in Massive X that we don't already have in existing Massive X.
- A lot of these expansions we can generate more less through Pharlight, Glaze and Aura already.
Things I wish would have been improved…
- Stability in Kontakt.
- MIDI data input and manipulation across the board, arp generators across the products, expression handling in instruments.
- Inclusion of more surround sound tools and applications.
- Improved VST3 capabilities for native and 3rd part tools.
It is hard to justify a €399 upgrade yearly with limited improvement. Think about it, why not jump to a product like Pigments or Dune 3 or something else that generate a lot of the expansion sounds Kontakt wants to offer in upgrade?
I have to think about this long and hard. So many current products, if developed further, would have interested me more.

Hello ! First post on this forum.
I bought Kontakt 7 two days ago, and I suddenly learned yesterday that Kontakt 8 will be released soon !?
K7 is only a year old, no ?
Will I have to pay to get the update ?0 -
@Narc Kontakt 7 was released on September 27, 2022 actually. Kontakt 8 is supposed to land on September 23. So, it's been (almost) two years.
Perhaps there is some sort of grace period for you, but you will need to contact NI's support to inquire about that.
