Maschine in Midi Mode Can't trigger Komplete Kontrol loaded samples/sounds

Madman

Am I missing something? If I load battery (or any single shot sound for that matter) into KK, Maschine (in midi mode) pads will not trigger anything. But when loaded independently, Maschine midi mode triggers (works) as normal. Is it not possible to trigger sounds via Maschine's pads that have been loaded within KK?

In the Komplete Kontrol application, check the MIDI preferences and make sure to select the Maschine Virtual Input,

Now when in MIDI mode you should be able to play your kits with the Maschine controller. You can navigate octaves with the group buttons (group C would be the correct octave to play the kits).

@Madman Interesting. I think if you follow these steps it should reset Kontakt to default: KONTAKT Crashes

Hey Jeremy, just realized this doesn't work if you load Kontakt as an instrument within Komplete Kontrol. It does work for battery however. Thoughts?

@Madman Maybe this will put you in the right direction: Configuring your MIDI Keyboard / Controller in KONTAKT

Hey Jeremy,

As you can see I've got it set as it should be. Things used to work. I'm not sure what changed/happened and why kontakt is no longer being triggered via my Maschine's pads in midi mode. I originally thought it was a Komplete Kontrol issue, but if I load Battery in KK, Maschine triggers those kits just fine.

Did you change the MIDI channel on the pads of the Maschine MK3? Kontakt usually responds to MIDI channel 1.

SO I never changed the midi channel on the pads, but it got me thinking about changing the midi channel in the kontakt VST3 (which I never had to do previously mind you). So it appears that now (for whatever reason) kontakt only "sees" mk3 midi mode via channel 2 or OMNI (obviously). Is there a way to have kontakt default to channel 1? I see that in standalone prefs I can set it to OMNI. I'll prolly just do that for now.

Thank you by the way, because at least it's triggering again.
