Hey, not sure if its the right forum to put this on but im trying to get ggd to send multi outs through kontakt 7 (and 6 for troubleshooting) and im following all guides online, but no luck. the only reason why I can think this is happening is that I have an asterisk (*) next to the outputs that im choosing on the ggd…
Kontakt keeps crashing on startup Windows 10 (Standalone and VST)
I recently started experiencing an issue with my Kontakt 6 Full installation, it crashes instantly on startup, whether in standalone mode or as a VST. I all started when changing the ASIO device on day, and suddenly it crashed. Strangely, it never worked again after that. I’ve tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and even…

No Libraries after Migration, but proper paths in Native Access
I recently used migration assistant to move from an M2 MBPro running OS 13 to an M4PRO MBPro running OS 15. In Native Access, I see a list of all my libraries, with all showing correct product paths. No repair necessary. However, none of my libraries show up at all in Kontakt 6-8. They aren't even listed in the settings…
Analog dreams and such don't work anymore
So I've got Kontakt 6 and some time ago I updated Analog dreams, Ethereal Earth and Hybrid keys to the latest versions. Then I found out those versions (2.1.1) are for kontakt 7. I found a topic where is explained that I need to reinstall the previous version (2.0.3) and NI moderator provided a link to some zip files with…
How do I authorize Kontakt 6 libraries?
I'm trying to set up Hybrid Keys on my new computer, but I haven't paid for Kontakt since for Kontakt 6 and I want to keep my libraries consolidated there. I found the links to download older versions of Kontakt libraries, and now I can find Hybrid Keys in Kontakt's file explorer and open it up, but it shows as a demo.…
Recording to a DAW
I am a newby to MIDI. I can load kontakt 8 to a midi track. I can load an instrument. Say Harp. I hear a beautiful sound when a play the virtual keyboard at the bottom, or when a d-click on a preset. I arm the track. But the sound does not record. Some instruments have a circle on the setting panel and I can drop these on…
Urgent Issue with Noire (and other libraries) Compatibility After Updates through Native Access
Hi Native Instruments, I’m reaching out to express my frustration with a significant issue I’ve encountered, one that’s not only hindering my workflow but also jeopardizing my ability to work with previous sessions. I recently tried reopening older sessions for remixing with Noire—a library I purchased when I was using…
Analog Dreams and Ethereal Earth versioning shambles
Hey all, I just moved to a new computer and on installing Native Access it's telling me it can't install Analog Dreams or Ethereal Earth due to me not having the right version of Kontakt installed. Now, this message is clearly wrong as I have the full version of Kontakt 6 plus the latest versions of Kontakt 7 Player and…

Hello can someone please explain why Analog Dreams instrument keeps disappearing from Kontakt and how to fix? I am running Kontakt version 6.8.

Maschine+ standalone: Kontakt sounds do not load when re-opening a project
Hi all, I am a new Maschine+ enthusiast, except for the following: When I load a Kontakt sound, no problem. If I close the project, and reopen it later: the kontakt sounds do not reload and I have to reload them manually one by one. Worse, they actually un-load automatically after some time (30-60 minutes)… It seem I am…
How can I browse Kontakt 6 factory presets in Komplete Kontrol
Kontakt 7 got a new library, but I still want to be able to view and use presets from the old library. Of course I can load up Kontakt 6 by itself, but I want to use Komplete Kontrol. How can this be done?
Instrument not Initalised when using third party hosts.
I recently migrated from Windows to Mac. Kontakt works as expected in the DAW's I m using. My problem comes when I use a third party host to re-tune Kontakt to various Microtonal scales. The same issue happens when using Musescore. Is there a plist file I should delete? Any help is appreciated.

Session Horns - What a disappointment!
I bought Session Horns as a separate product. It wasn't cheap either and nowhere was I told beforehand that I would not be able to play a solo instrument with keyswitches for articulation changes, a pretty basic requirement, or so you would have thought. I wanted my money back but Native Instruments refused and treated me…
Kontakt 5.6.8 full version
Does anyone know how to obtain the Kontakt 5.6.8 or Kontakt 6 full version? Unfortunately I'm using Finale and the VST samples I wish to use require Kontakt 5.6.8 - Kontakt 6 full version and Finale does not recognize later versions of Kontakt on Windows. Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, CB
Damage 2 on free Kontakt?
I bought Damage 2 a month ago and was wondering whether or not I'm capable of using Damage 2 with the free version of kontakt or do I have to buy Kontakt complete? Or another paid version. I'm assuming I have to get the new versions but I want to make sure before I buy. Thanks
Kontakt 6 does not see libraries after system reinstall.
Hello, I reinstalled windows, but I kept libraries and instruments on a separate drive. Native Access found them automatically and I downloaded Kontakt 6 and other apps (I own Komplete 12) . But Kontakt does not see any library. I downloaded Kontakt 7 player which sees all libraries. I checked installation notes of some…

Key not returning on Komplete Kontrol S88 MK2
Hello, I have a Komplete Kontrol S88 MK2 keyboard that I purchased in 2021. One of the keys does not return to its original position after being pressed.

Enabling flux mode in loops
Hi! I have been really enjoying using Traktor Pro for the past two years (version 3 and then later 4). I use it with either mouse/keyboard, or a Numark Mixtrack Pro 3 and a midi mapping file found off the internet and edited to fit my needs. However there is something that has always bugged me about loops and flux mode.…

Hi! I tried downloading Kontakt Factory Library onto my external hard drive, but I can't seem to access it in Kontakt even though native access shows it as being downloaded.
