in Komplete Kontrol

I am trying to install the Komplete Kontrol plugin in theMaschine software. However, it does not appear in the list of plugins. I haveuninstalled and reinstalled Komplete Kontrol, but that didn’t help either. Whatconfuses me is that there is no VST folder specified in the installation path.What am I doing wrong?

    Komplete Kontrol does not show up as a plugin in Maschine, it's built into it already.

    All of KK's functions such as Browser, Arp, Scales, etc are already in Maschine, theres no reason to load KK. (if your keyboard is fully supported that is, not the case for the KK MK3 which only has "basic integration")

    Happy new year! :)

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Komplete Kontrol, but that didn’t help either.

    What confuses me is that there is no VST folder specified in the installation path.

    No VST folder in what installation path where ?

    For Native Access which you must be using for all installation then VST is set in File management settings (you ought to leave that at the defaults , especially for VST3).

    I do not have any Maschine but on my Maschine essentials (Maschine Software 2) then the Plugins has their own Tab in the Preferences where you can also set the locations.

    Please be a lot more specific as to what is your problem. Including what is your exact OS version , what is your Native Access version ? , your Komplete Kontrol version ? , your Maschine software version ?

    Also please supply a screenshot of the problem , e.g. where is the VST path missing ?

    Thanks a lot for answering!

    I will describe my issue again. When I try to add Komplete Kontrol as a plugin in the Maschine software, it is not possible because the plugin does not appear in the settings under the "Manager" tab. In the "Locations" tab, I have included all paths that I believe are relevant. I have also attached a screenshot of these paths.

    When I install Komplete Kontrol, the installation only shows the specified path, which I have also added to the Maschine software settings. For Maschine 2, I am using version 2.18.4, and for Komplete Kontrol, I am using the latest version 3.3.4.The version of native access is 3.16.0.

    To the best of my knowledge, the installation paths are correct, and the VST3 file is present on the system. Multiple rescans have not changed anything. Am I missing something obvious? I believe Komplete Kontrol should be able to run as a plugin within Maschine 2, right?

    For reference, I am using Windows 10

    Happy New Year! I hope this year brings great success and creativity to everyone.

    Thank you for the clarification! I now understand that Komplete Kontrol is already integrated into Maschine and does not need to be loaded as a separate plugin. However, my main question is about using the patterns from instruments like Session Guitar in Maschine.

    For example, as shown in the screenshot, Session Guitar provides different guitar patterns (like strumming or picking) that can be triggered via key switches. How can I use these patterns to directly play and record them in Maschine’s software? Is there a workflow to drag and drop them as MIDI or audio into Maschine, or do I need to use another approach

    I’m using an A25 keyboard and a Maschine MK3, so I understand there may be limitations, but I’d love to hear about the best way to achieve this

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    I have no Maschine and thus generally know far too little about using Maschine so D-One is the (D-)One that you want to help you. However having used the Maschine software interface a few minutes then I managed to open Kontakt instruments two different ways . Why does these ways not suffice ?

    1'st way :
