Currently I'm not aware of external midi controller that support NKS mappings natively. But I do share your opinion that this would be a nice thing to have! It's always great to have a bunch of extra knobs and faders around. Although it is not supporting NKS directly I love to use the Traktor F1 Controller with Maschine to map some extra parameters or samples.

Awesome! If you wanna get that premium, polished sound with a lot of mass appeal there's one artist-expansion that jumps into my mind: "The Stereotypes". They produced hits for Bruno Mars, Cardi B, Lil Yachty, Fifth Harmony, and more. I'm 100% sure you'll find some inspiring sounds that help you get started! Also check "40s Very own Drums" and "40s Very own keys". Absolute gems!

I'd try to get an effect chain running using beat delay and filter. Then maybe add some automations by hand to funk it up a little :) Once that basic effects chain is set up, start messing around with a Vocal Sample in Maschine, for instance use the "Gate" function in the Audio Plugin and then play some chops with Keyboard mode. Super wild!😍💥

Thanks for the reply, seems like one of the only Hip Hop “areas” komplete is lacking in.

Maybe an idea for a future play series instrument/ expansion combo…?

@Boris_NI

Also any tips on how to lengthen really short one shot samples or short chops in general?

Hi! Wannabe New Age composer who SUCKS at programming pad sounds here. As I'm after presets - and being cheeky! - include Kontakt Player - would Kontakt Player or other Kontakts have pads like THESE...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaRrq7cYu84

Just the pads, I've got pianos. Why Kontakt? Because it's multitimbral, so I could mix'n'match the sounds, greater variety. Been after pads like these for years, bought libraries for other VSTs, there's usually 2 usable sounds, 2000 awful ones! If I was better at programming, yes I could make my own but I suck.

Please, I'm trusting you guys, don't tell me to buy - say - Komplete Connoisseurs Edition just to get the money if Komplete Start comes with those kinda sounds, for example, or there's libraries for Komplete Start I could buy that are composed of those kinda sounds.

Yours hopefully

Chris.

I had exactly the same issue ...recommendation was to clear browsing data/cache...I did that on my rarely used MS Edge browser and that seemed to fix things for me.

Hey I just bought the "Komplete 14 Standard upgrade from Select" on Thomannmusic.com which states it comes with a "29.99" credit for any plugin alliance plugin* (exceptions apply I know).

The problem: no credit voucher was sent after purchase AND I can't even access the plugin alliance plugins that were advertised as coming with Standard like the OBX and Crispytuner? How do I get to those? Was the advertised voucher on Thomannmusic.com a mistake? Thanks for any help!

@funkyandros please ignore that warning. K14 Standard for Select should be the right one for you.

@Kapa95 @mrkspector There was a little bit of hiccup but I can confirm we have plenty of M32 and Maschine in stock so please clear cookies from the browser just in case and try again 🙏

Hey

Do I still qualify for a future SOS sale upgrade from Komplete Ultimate to Collector's Edition if I skip version numbers from in my case 13 to something else?

I haven't seen any complaints about the S88 (at least not here 🙂) but if by any chance you receive a defective device our hardware support team should be able to replace it for you.

Hi @KenB it seems like this text below the price boxes is not displayed for some users:

If you already own Kontakt 1-7, you're qualified for the "Upgrade for Select" price. You don't need to own Komplete Select. Sorry that the wording is confusing.
