Kontakt won't show current wave via MIDI in round robin instruments
Hey Guys, My next batch of Kontakt instruments are much deeper than anything I've done before; they all have 3-6 round robins, several groups, lots of velocity layers, etc. The problem I'm running into is that in Kontakt, the Wave Editor only shows the current sample for just one round robin - it won't update to show the…

Brass Ensemble Click on Render
I'm getting a strange click sound on my Brass Ensemble. There is just one specific part where when I single out the brass part it clicks at a VERY specific part of my piece. Even when I render it in real-time (1x) as a solo track, it still produces the click. Its a full 2 minute song, and its on in this particular track,…

Dealing with gaps in Host Automation after deleting instruments?
This is something that continually vexes me. Is there any way to "cascade" host automation assignments downward, so that there are no gaps? In this example, you can see that there is a huge gap between #36 and #85. That's 50 whole assignments going unused, resulting in some of my violin's parameters to be smushed into…

Activating Komplete 7
My misfortune is that I purchased the update from 4 to 7 from NI when it first came out, but due to a series of family crisis was not able to get back into the studio and install it. My PC's are not recent but I do have Windows 10 and Cubase 8.5 running well in 32 bit. There has been much catching up to do and I really…

No Kontakt sounds in Reaper
Hi Folks, I'd really like to use Kontakt. Seems like it's installed correctly, but no sound. NI sent me instructions to make sure it was connected with Reaper DAW. Still no sound though. I am sure I am doing something wrong here. I am not the sharpest pencil in the box when it comes to these things. I do love making music…

Kontakt 7 ver 7.15 May Have Fixed Mac problems But Broke Windows.....(sigh)
Well this is a good one. I happened to notice an update was available for Kontakt 7 this morning when I ran Native Access so I figured I'd go ahead and update it. I didn't read the release notes, but I figured...what the heck. It's just a minor update. What could go wrong? Well I learned a lesson. NEVER assume anything…

Kontakt UI - Too Small / TMI
All (Devs), I missed the Kontakt "Ask Me Anything" with the app devs through illness throughout much of December, so I thought I'd try to garner a formal response here: When is NI going to make the entire plugin User Interface scalable and, preferably, allow for the reorganisation of its content? Seriously, as I've gotten…

Why does Logic delete unused instances of Kontakt?
My template has ~275 tracks in it. During the last couple projects I’ve worked on, some of the tracks, with Kontakt have been either hidden or deleted. Every Kontakt track that doesn’t have a MIDI region is gone. Not sure if i’m accidentally hitting a keyboard shortcut or something, but the project will randomly go down to…

Native Access 2 Plugins not carrying over from Mac to Windows
Hi everyone! I just recently purchased an M1 MacBook Pro for when I'm producing on the road. At home I work on a windows built pc and have been using it with the NI software for a few months now. I have all of my Native Instruments plugins pre-installed on my external SSD, that way I could work between both my desktop and…

Session Horns (not Pro) - Separate Output channels per instrument in section?
Hi. I'm new to Kontact and Session Horns. I'm using Studio One V6 as DAW. This may be a basic question but is it possible route each instrument in the horn section to a separate channel for mixing in the DAW?

Setting up Kontakt, Roli Seaboard Rise 49 and Cremona Quartet in Ableton Live 11
Not a question, but hopefully others can benefit from what I learned to make it work. Result: you can use the XY pad for Expression and Dynamics, and Pressure and Slide for Vibrato Intensity and Rate respectively. In Roli Dashboard, make changes according to the screenshot. In Ableton Live 11, add Kontakt and make changes…

PHARLIGHT, and ASHLIGHT - very CPU hungry on a very powerful machine
My machine: MacPro 2019 (Big Sur), 16 cores, + 200GB memory, etc...I can run in this beauty/beast whatever I want :-). Recently I have upgraded my KU and got Pharlight and Ashlight :-). I have noticed that these 2 instruments are very CPU hungry. I do not have any other vsti/etc what would be so demanding for the cpu. Can…

What does this gradient mean in the mapping editor?
One zone is solid, and the other is not. I can't figure out why. I'm trying to troubleshoot a dropped round robin note and I think this might have something to do with it. Can someone tell me what the gradient means? Edit: Figured it out. It appears when you control+click on the bottom or top border of the zone and drag.…

Session Horns (not Pro) - Control articulations with additional MIDI notes?
Hi. I'm new to Kontact and Session Horns. Using Studio One. Is it possible, like with a number of other virtual instruments, to add articulations per note by also pressing (or programming) another MIDI key at the same time? For example, having say C-2 as "fall slow"? I dont want to be using the same articulation across the…
