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.

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.

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…

Question about 'Import Content' GUI/Kontakt 7 issues & features
Hi, I believe this hadn't been emphasized enough, but I've got some serious personal issues with how you decided to handle the Import Content section of Kontakt, and i'm shocked that this was not addressed (unless it was in Kontakt 8, but for now I see no point paying for such irrelevant upgrade compared to the state of…

Make it possible to switch Modulation and Expression placements in GUIs
Annoying thing I see on modern GUIs for NI is the strange misplacement of Mod and Expression controls. These are expressive instruments where it would be nice if they are in the order recommended and used by many users. Many users with composer controls have this order (due to ergonomic benefits): Expression Modulation…
