Komplete Kontrol Save Function and Knob-Assignment doesn't work

i found further libraries which have non-assignable parameters. Mostly, they are libraries of the 'old' type, where you load the nki file from the "Files" tab into the Komplete Kontrol Mainwindow.

• 8dio - Steinway 1928 (not one single knob assignable)
• 8dio - Free Angels (not one single knob assignable)
• Cinematique Instruments Monochord (not one single knob assignable)

I guess the list goes on and on with those nki based libraries. Still, the things mentioned in my first post are more important, as they are directly related to Native Instruments own products.

Thanks to your comment, I remembered that there is a third “view” option, which isn’t accessed by the “+” Button in the Komplete Kontrol Interface, but via the View Menu. Having full access to Kontakt via the Edit View, I could check out the Automation tab, and voila: for many cases it works. Now it’s finally possible to Assign “Volume” and “Tune” which would be perfect, IF the assignment would actually stay when saving the preset. It does not stay! Neither the assignment nor changes of Values in Tune and Volume stay! :( :( :( Would you or anyone else please be so kind to check this with your own system? So i can make a bug-report! Just load any Kontaktbased Library like Alicias Key, open Edit View to change the Volume, save -> and see if when opening a new instance of Komplete (or loading an instrument of another non-kontakt-category in between), the preset still has that new Volume-Value. For me, saving the preset never saves those value changes for Volume or Tune… never. And also it forgets the assignment via the Automation tab.

I use "file - save as" to create my custom presets, i guess thats *.nks. This method worked with every parameter other than the above mentioned (volume, tune, and some Non-NI libraries), that's why i didnt think that the method of saving could be insufficient.

Is there a different way of saving, after changing volume/tune?

Better question: are you able to save changes in Tune and Volume? If yes, please tell me how :)

Thank you! I was too focused on Komplete Kontrol, it seems. When i save the NKI first, then make a NKS preset via Komplete Kontrol with it, assignments and Volume/Tune-Changes stay! Thanks alot! ! !

Sadly, it seems like a never-ending story of problems: i ve run into the issue of "non-removable" assignments.

For example, for my most favorite Drum (Darbuka from NI Spotlight Collection: Middle East) that means: the first 45! Host parameters are already assigned to the KompleteKontrol-Knobs, and the "Remove" button remains grey. Even though it's possible to double-assign parameters, the intial assignment stays. So when i want to use "Tune", i ll also change the Reverb-Volume, or whatever other assignment remains. That's no fun, especially for "Tune" as i need to see the value in the display.

For the second problem i - almost - found a solution. I wanted to tell the Tune-Knob to move up/down differently. Not in 0.01 or 0.1 steps, but 1.0 (or 0.5). I ve found a script for that, which works for MidiAssignments, like Midi cc11. https://www.native-instruments.com/forum/threads/modulating-kontakts-master-tune-knob.360097/

on controller

if ($CC_NUM = 11)

set_engine_par($ENGINE_PAR_TUNE,500000+(%CC[11]-64)*13888,-1,-1,-1)

end if

end on

But: when i try to insert the script via script editor, i can't because all 5 Script-Slots are already used, and they seem to be non-editable. Haha!!! I m a bit exhausted with those detail-problems now.

Is there another way to make the Tune move in different steps (1 instead of 0.01) - And how would the script look, if instead of CC11 it shall adress the first Knob / the #000 Host Automation-Parameter? :D Sometimes i feel like Native-Instruments Mastery needs a University.
