Komplete Kontrol (version 3.3.2) does not support Kontakt 8?
Hello, I am using Komplete Kontrol with my Komplete Kontrol MK2 S88 keyboard.
Komplete 15 has Kontakt 8, in Komplete Kontrol I am missing the extra features like Tools, Leap and combined.
When I open Kontakt 8 directly they are there, but there is no mapping to my controller (probably only with MK3).
Will this be available in the future?

After the 3.3.3 update problems in Logic, KK. couldn't find most librarys.
Back to 3.3.2.
Delete KK database in application support (Mac)
Building database in standalone. Second scan in the KK plugin in Logic.
Everything's olay includen Kontakt 8 in KK.
Why is each update from Native instruments so problematic?

Maybe this is different for MkII users (?) but with KK3 there are macro controls available for Leap instruments (see below) that appear by default when you create a Leap instrument or drag an existing one in
Someone asked about macros for start/end sample position but since that is potentially per note that would probably not be practicable as it would need a lot of macros.

The extra features are only available with Direct Connection, which itself is only available with Kontrol S MK3.
Kontakt Multi creation, navigation and adjustment, for instance, has never been available in Komplete Kontrol.

shame you as company, to force your users buying another keyboard. I’m totally done with Native instruments. Buggy software, not listening to there users. Bad company.

I think there's a misunderstanding here.
Kontakt 8 works exactly the same way as Kontakt versions before it worked inside of Komplete Kontrol, which enables the NKS experience from compatible hardware. A Kontrol MK2 user would connect to Kontakt 8 this way.
Kontakt 7 and 8 also feature Direct Connection, which allows the new Kontrol MK3 hardware to connect directly without Komplete Kontrol.
There is no suggestion anyone is forced to move from a keyboard they currently own, that continues to work well, unless of course they want the new features.

If you have Kontakt 8 installed it will replace any K7 libraries but you need to have ‘use latest version of NI plugins’ ticked in options

Okay then, how do I use features like Leap, Chords and Phrases (from Kontakt 8) with my S49 MK2 ?
Is there a way via Komplete Kontrol? Or are we forced to buy the MK3 Keyboard to use the new features which were praised without mentioning they don't work with MK2?

Those features are available via Direct Connection, which is supported by Kontrol S MK3. If you don't have a MK3, you are able to use these features via traditional keyboard / mouse.
As mentioned in my message - when loaded inside Komplete Kontrol, Kontakt 8 works exactly the same way as the prior versions of Kontakt before it.

You are not being clear. Give direct, complete and easy to understand directions on how to get kontakt 8 to work via the controls ON the mkii keyboard.

The same way you use previous Kontakt versions, via Komplete Kontrol. As long as you are using KK3 this works mostly the same as Kontakt 8 does with the MkIII keyboards except Play Assist is via the version built into KK rather than on device.

They didn't provide good answers. "The same way you did it before" is not an answer when we don't know how to do it haha. …I found another excellent form answering the question along with screenshots (link below).

That is not a clear answer with clear steps. “The same way” without a link to that method is useless. Care to try again?

Thanks for the link!
