Regarding Tools

asahi · 2025-01-05T11:28:35+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I am using Mac OS 12.7.4.
I recently purchased Native Instruments Komplete 15 Collectors Edition and am using Kontakt 8. When I load a sound source and select Tools in the upper left corner of the screen, the "chords" and "phrases" of Tools are not displayed at all in the "Select Product" column and I cannot use them.
Please tell me how I can use them.
Thank you in advance.

Hello,

have you opened kontakt stand alone first? Kontakt needs this in order to build up the database it needs a while so all components/instruments and presets show up and work, especially with the big komplete bundles.

Really just leave it open a while and wait, unfortunately there is no indication when the scan and database build is ready. I had the same issue after a complete reinstall of my system lately.

Exactly what I had after my fresh installation, and like I said it solved itself over time having the stand alone app open. You could try the stuff mentioned here on the "best answer" post:

It can take really long depending on your system, also turn off screen savers. I guess you have installed the kontakt library 2?

Hello,

asahi

Thank you.
Yes, I was able to start it up in stand alone mode, but the "chords" and "phrases" in the Tools section are not displayed at all, so I can't use them.
What should I do?
Thank you in advance.

so you have selected the tool slot (gets grey) and selected the tools category for the browser?

Thank you.
This is the symptom shown on this screen.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your kind reply.
I waited for almost an hour and a half using standalone mode last night, but it didn't work as I wanted, so I'll try again as you instructed.

Thank you. Understood.
I will also turn off the screen saver.
Kontakt Factory Library 2 is already installed.
