Good day.

Reaktor 6 presets defaulting
I looked to see if I could find this anywhere, but no one seems to have this problem. Problem: Whenever I try to use a Reaktor instrument in Reaper, I load the preset I want, but during playback it changes the preset to one I don't want. For example, I want to use the 'Pinto' preset on Mikro Prism, but it always changes to…
Reaper crashes when loading Kontakt and Komplete tracks
I have a lot of old projects with Kontakt 5 and Komplete 2.8 on certain tracks. Opening these projects crashes Reaper. I also have a lot of track templates using Kontakt 5 and Komplete 2.8, and adding these to a project also crashes reaper. I've found a workaround which is that if I open a new project, add a track with a…
Komplete Kontrol A61 not recognised by Reaper
Hi Following the death of my old laptop I decided to start completely afresh and buy a completely new set up - new laptop, new midi controller, everything starting from scratch. I installed Komplete Kontrol but my DAW (Reaper) isn't recognising it. When I open the Komplete Kontrol software and go to MIDI preferences, it is…
REAPER and KOMPLETE KONTROL VST3 Plugin
Hello, i know this is a bug in recent Komplete Kontrol release but i have to say its rather annoying. I created a song in Reaper last week for which was quite good if i will say so myself, I managed to use the KOMPLETE KONTROL VST3 plugin to use with my MK2 S88. It worked :), then on loading the song a few days later the…
Native Instruments in Reaper
Please pardon the newb question... I bought a Komplete Kontrol 49 key as well as a few new sounds. I think I'm getting confused with when I need to use Komplete Kontrol software and when I use Kontakt 7. In Reaper, I've created a new virtual instrument track and loaded Get Good Drums but it doesn't seem to be receiving…
Reaper won't recognize Kontakt 7.10.5 - it loads 7.6.1
At my wits end here. I've installed the latest version of Reaper, latest version of Native Access, and updated Kontakt 7 to the most recent version (7.10.5), but when I load up the Kontakt 7 VST in Reaper, it loads version 7.6.1 (and therefore won't let me load Hybrid Keys). I played around with file install locations and…
"Kontakt has encountered a major problem and has been terminated" message.
Kontakt 7 is not working for me after installing some demo libraries from Arturia Minifuse 2. The next day, I get this message and libraries are missing from native instruments. Kontakt states a crashlog file has been created. I've already updated Reaper (DAW) and NI to the newest versions. Today, I'm running into all of…
Getting KOMPLETE KONTROL S88 to work with REAPER
For some reason I cannot get my KOMPLETE KONTROL S88 keyboard to work with my DAW which is REAPER. It is a shame spending 1000Euros on the KOMPLETE KONTROL (keyboard) "just to create MIDI events" and not being able to use the 2 nice screens for what NI claims they can be used if you use KOMPLETE KONTROL (software).…
S88 Mk3 vs Reaper (DAW)
Hi. I would like to purchase an S88 Mk3 controller, but I noticed that Reaper is not listed among the supported DAWs. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any clear descriptions or videos that reveal what functionality losses this lack of support entails and what functions still work despite this. Primarily, I am curious about…

OS: Windows 10 DAW: Reaper 7.13 Ashlight version: 1.6.0 (Latest at time of writing), now testing 1.5.0 Kontakt Player version: 6.8.0 and 7.6.1 EDIT: I installed Ashlight 1.5.0 and now starting it up normally in Kontakt 6.8.0 works as before. However, one instance still crashes Reaper in my current project. I can't seem to…
Guitar Rig 7 Slow to Load
Hello, my Guitar rig 7 is very slow to load the first time in REAPER (Windows 10). It takes around 15 seconds... The other plugins take less than 2 seconds (kontakt 6, FM8, etc). This has really affected my workflow. I would like to know if there is anything I can do to reduce this load, or does this depend on an…
Best DAW for working with Native Instruments
Is there a DAW that works best with Native Instruments products- Kontakt, Komplete Kontrol, etc.? I have only every had/tried Reaper and it seems to freeze a lot, although I found a fix for that, I'm not sure it's an ideal fix.... and there are other quirks with it.

Cannot link Kontakt 7 to Reaper?!
Hello everyone, I have been experiencing the same issue with finding Kontakt 7 in my effects list in my DAW (even the VST3 and VST3i) for some weird reason.

Hello guys, I recently bought the afore mentioned device, but I can't get the hardware (S61 MK3) linked to the software (Reaper). They keys, the screen etc are working. But all transport buttons are not linked. They are not even lit up. I want full DAW control, so I can optimise my workflow. Is there any way to get this up…
Support for Reaper a KK / Kontrol MK3 Keyboards
Hi folks, I'm really trying to look around for information regarding support for Komplete Kontrol and the new MK3 keyboards inside Reaper. I know it's not listed as a supported DAW, but I do struggle to believe that, as Reaper's usage is quite extensive. Furthermore, like others, I've been having trouble with KK inside…
Anyone else experiencing crashes when opening and closing Kontakt 7 in Reaper 7?
I'm experiencing an issue which is unique to Kontakt on my DAW. I'm running reaper 7 on the latest build windows OS 10 and I'm experiencing frequent crashes when opening and closing kontakt windows. It seems to happen more often during playback but also when stopped. Just click on kontakt 7 and the window will look like…

i don't find the software
Hi everyone, my name is Giulio. Yesterday I bought a used Mikro MK3. I registered on the NI website, installed and opened Native Access for Mac, and entered the serial number of the Mikro MK3. However, I can’t find the software in the Native Access library (I assume it’s Maschine 2 or Maschine 3) to make my Mikro work. I’m…

Why is Ableton able to detect MIDI from my KKMK1 keyboard but not Maschine 3 SW?
"As of October 12, 2023, Native Instruments ended software support for the Komplete Kontrol S-Series MK1 keyboards. This means that the MK1 series is not compatible with Maschine 3 software.

Instrument settings not loading into Komplete Kontrol on new computer
I recently upgraded to a new computer and installed all my virtual instruments as well as a newer version of the Komplete Kontrol plug-in. However, when I open a previous Logic project on the new computer, some of the Komplete Kontrol tracks are unable to load/playback the specific instrument settings from my original…
Can keyboard mapping be done in Kontakt 8 player?
I am trying to split my keyboard for live performance with a multi I created with 4 different percussion instruments. The multi works fine but I want to reassign different ranges of a 5 octave Mallet Kat in order to play timpani, chimes, vibes and bells without needing to switch instruments.

Anyone using Platinum Notes alongside Traktor?
Ignoring what it does to the audio, how did you find using it on your Traktor collection? Did you find a way to easily swap in the processed files (with the _PN suffix) and not impact the Traktor ID3 tags, stripes, etc. ?
