Ask Kontakt 8 creators anything

Much more user friendly using 3rd Party Plugins (Spitfire Audio, Sonicculture, HALion, ect)

It’s all good. New riders will enjoy the content and loop mangling stuff, seasoned musies will be happy they don’t have to upgrade and can keep saving for something else 😄. Interestingly, I see the comments about wavetable synthesis and sampling, being somehow, “worlds apart” 😆Camel Audio Alchemy used VA, granular and traditional sampling in a cool package, not that it matters. In fairness, Kontakt, beneath the hood, is beyond my programming skills, when you want accessible controls, so it’s really a developer thing in my mind. 🤔

People have speculated on an NI DAW for years. I dont see neither Arturia nor Native instrument make their own DAW at this point. Market is currently too saturated with fairly modern DAWs.

I rather see NI work with stronger integration in current DAWs, like how to load, manage and play samples. For instance make it easier to load kits with the native DAW drum sample player in Ableton Live or Logic.

And Maschine should have way stronger hardware integration with DAWs so I don't need to use the Maschine plugin. Let me browse the DAW library with my Komplete Kontrol keyboard as easy as I access my NI sounds.

New instruments, great synths, sound design and samples with sample players is likely the bread and butter for NI. Think this will be the focus for the foreseeable future and Kontakt is a critical part of that user experience.

I bought komplete 14. What a life changing purchase let me tell you!!!!!!!!

Producing “ a lot of music “ is going to change pending the room you’re in.

Last month I did about 45 com… KOMplete tunes.

The native library is AMAZING, and the absolute envy of my co workers who suffer using stock plugins or third parties from others.

Everybody on the team uses pro tools. So last year I learned pro tools.

Ya know what keeps my ENTIRE TEAM from going all in and buying S88/K15 packages??

they asked me to write a quick pop tune. Which takes me about five minutes, then I showed them what it takes to route the drums correctly for multiple outputs.

Cause you can’t just select and separate by pitch in an effective way ( yes PT family I know the feature is there in the command zero menu but it doesn’t work with kontact midi drum routing.)

sorry that took a long time. I really love natives stuff, I am BEGGGGGGGGGGINNNG YOU!!!!

help me sell your product, work in easy routing options for the longest standing industry standard DAW in existence please.

(Feel free to private message me if you need another human to commiserate the abusive long term relationship they have with pro tools.)

Kontakt 7 launches in less than 5 seconds on all of my Macs. Respectfully, perhaps your computer configuration is old, or there are other factors at play.

Not a worry for me - 5 secs here too on Windows 10.

Was simply mentioning this for others - some who have really struggled with it.

This is a product forum where you provide feedback to developers acording to your needs so the product team can plan and cater to different users’ needs and workflows.

It is not my job to consider other users in this scenario. Going after me like that leads to nowhere.

Instead focus on providing actual feedback to NI from your perspective and your needs instead of misunderstanding mine.

Also you are now muted.
