How can I get Kontakt 8 plugin to fully play what I have selected in Playbox?
I’ve noticed something odd in Kontakt 8. When I load Kontakt as a plugin, it doesn't play the full sound of a sample I’ve loaded. I’ve tested this in Ableton and Machine 2, and the same thing happens. I’m confused because in standalone mode, the sound plays, but it doesn’t play when loaded in another software. It plays the…

Feature Request: Select/Load Random Preset Button
It's nothing new: add a button on top or at the bottom of the preset selection tree which triggers the tree to select a random preset. It should be very easy from a programmatical viewpoint. Use your languages random function and tree.select on the range of 0 and tree.length. The advantage on doing it on the tree directly…

Session Percussionist forced DAW sync
Hi, I've tried Session Percussionist for the first time yesterday and while I see a lot of potential it has a major flaw in my opinion. With transport stopped, when you feed midi notes a pattern will start playing from the beginning on note-on. This is pretty much like any other drum sequencer works. With transport…

How do I fix this
How do I fix this so I can install and access Kontakt? I reinstalled windows and just installed Native Instruments and installed Kontakt and now it crashes every time I launch it. Should I uninstall it or reinstall Native instruments? What does One Drive have to do with anything?

Missing components in WINE?
I know NI doesn't support Linux in any way or form (much to their own detriment really), but could it be possible to at least get to know what components/DLL's/libraries are actually needed to install it? I have managed to install Native Access and can install and even use most of the applications and plugins. But not…

Kontakt 8.2 Komplete UI (KUI): Low Quality Online Documentation, Buggy Demo
🖖! Feedback for NI: The only 1 official KUI demo instrument is still buggy even after release (^video^: streamable. com/aijc7s). (Knob issue @ Drag, if ZOOM != @1x) Every single widget code example in documentation should come with multiple working demo projects. Due to the complexity of KUI, the documentation should…

Deleted Kontakt 6 App Keeps Reappearing in Native Access Browser
After completely uninstalling Kontakt 6 as per NI instructions, the application still prevails in the NA browser. Installation path shows a non-existent (unclickable) location. Subsequent uninstallation of NA (again, as per NI instructions) and re-installation did not solve problem either. Anyone here had the same or…

Circular 1.1.0 (engine 1.5) just broke all my projects! Pitch mapping + scale logic changed
I updated Circular on 11/14/25 to version 1.1.0, and inside Kontakt it now shows as engine version 1.5. After the update, every single one of my songs that uses Circular is suddenly out of tune. These projects all played correctly before the update. What I’m seeing now: MIDI notes that previously snapped to the selected…

Dopamine release - graphic design quality at NI still lacking
Come on NI, where is the graphic design quality control? This looks very third party lower quality and not AAA sample library instrument from Native instruments. Has an educated professional graphic designer made a passthrough on this instrument or did the third party developer do it themselves? I've seen many of the…

How much would you charge to make a Linux version?
Hi, Like many frustrated Linux users I realize that the new version of Kontakt (8) no longer works on Linux (using wine + yabridge). Up to Native Access 1.14 it was smooth and all working (probably because kept more simple) but since Native Access 2 it no longer works. I just bought a new Kontakt license but I was forced…
