Session Percussionist – Update Available!
Hey everyone,
We’ve just released Session Percussionist v1.0.1.
What’s new?
This update cleans up some old behind-the-scenes code that won’t be supported in the upcoming Kontakt 8.4 (coming mid-May). Don’t worry, it doesn’t change how the instrument sounds or plays.
Why update now?
If you install Kontakt 8.4 before updating Session Percussionist, the XY pad on the mixer page might not work properly. Everything else in the instrument will still work as expected.
What should I do?
Easy! Just download the latest version of Session Percussionist (v1.0.1) and you’re good to go. No issues, no interruptions.
Thanks for being part of the community and making music with us!

Just a suggestion for Session Percussionist: it would be great to have an empty patch available. I found a workaround thanks to the community, but having a built-in option would be really helpful.

INIT patch should be standard.
Still waiting for Kontakt 8 to have a working MIDI CC editor again. The drag and drop CC assign do not work on new Kontakt 8 instrument (you are forced to use the Learn button which is not optimal and much slower). New instruments also need better support for MIDI CC with different interaction objects like menus (i.e. Claire mic drop down menu do not support MIDI CC).An updated MIDI CC editor in Kontakt 8 should also have a copy and paste system to quickly assign same Midi CC settings on similar instances in your DAW template. Currently in older Kontakt you had to drag and drop assign on each instance manually.
We also need to see a proper Migrate button in Native Access to clear up UX when moving to a newer version of Kontakt. Why not add this for Kontakt 7 to Kontakt 8 so it is ready for Kontakt 9 in about 3 years.

How is this going to impact on backwards compatibility with older Kontakt instruments that are not likely to get updated to ‘clean up’ the code?

This is my concern. Will installing this impact users of Kontakt 7?

me and @PoorFellow tried to find it, the only solution he found was to basically pick a preset, delete all the instruments and save it as a user patch or a user kontakt preset. (unless I'm wrong)
it works but I think is better to have an INIT patch1 -
This is very specific to this instrument.

If I am not mistaken then you are referring to your Session Percussionist question over here where EvilDragon told that only solution were to delete the instruments and then save the empty layout as a Snapshot.

Yes agree, when I build my templates and add instances of instruments without a specific sound in mind, before I disable the track, it is nice to have an INIT Patch selected. Simple thing to add to all NI instruments for the ones still lacking the preset.
