Full Kontakt Required?!
I bought the Komplete 14 Bundle package with the K32 but now some Instruments in the library state that i need to upgrade to "Full Kontakt" to use them. Do I not own "Full Kontakt" when i buy Komplete 14? Im pretty sure i also activated it, cause elsewise i wouldnt be able to use the instruments in the first place, right?
Best Kontakt Motion Synths?
Where can I find motion synths like this? This was the opening track for one of Coldplay's albums back in 2008. I've always tried to find synths like what you hear in the opening but could never find them. Is there anything like this in Kontakt?
Can not upgrade Native Access or kontakt 7
Hi, after updating prod. [Komplete 14] Hybrid Keys among other apps stopped working. Needs KONTAKT vers. 7.7. But Native Access [NA] says it's up to date with vers. 7.6... Well, which is it!? Forum says: upgrade to NA2. But it cannot upgrade due to "missing mia.lib". Seems like apps are blocking each other in a trafic jam.…
Issue with Session Strings 2
So I've been having problems when re-opening a project with Session Strings 2 and it opens up as seen in the picture. Audio is playing quietly and it is not the right sound I've set previously when saving and closing the project. I've also had problems with audio playback on Session Strings 2, where it drops audio really…

In kontakt 8, How to play Rhythm and melody same time?
I am struggling to figure out how to play rhythm and melody in kontakt at the same time. I want to change chords playing rhythm while at the same time be able to play melodies. Is it even possible? Like it's in traditional keyboards where you can start a rhythm, can change chords and play any melody over it? Is there a way…
Keep getting interrupted by error messages... [Pro Tools]
At first I tried to ignore them but it's pretty damn impossible when you keep getting them mid-playback or mid-recording. Sometimes I even get multiple errors in a row when pressing play. For example: Pressing "Space" → Error: "Pro Tools ran out of CPU power. Try de-activating or removing Native plugins. (AAE -9173)" →…
Installing Kontakt - Installation failed
Hello, about 6 months ago I replaced my Hard Drive with a SSD and that may have caused this problem… but I can no longer install any version of Kontakt. I own version 5 & 7. They will not install anymore. All of my instruments install without issue and the Native Access app is all fine and up to date. (Version 3.16.0)…

Ireland Library showing DEMO mode in Kontakt 7 (Full Version)
Why is this particular library Ireland showing DEMO mode in my Kontakt 7 (not Player)?
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…
Kontakt 7&8 Doesn't Work On Logic Pro X 11.1
Hi, I'm having issue with Kontakt 7 & 8 on my Logic Pro X, 11.1. When I play the track, the first round it sounds fine, but when I repeat the track, only the first MIDI note works (without the sustain). If I stop the track and replay again, it works. It works fine when I bounce the track. Anyone encounter similar issue?

All of a sudden, Elysium Harp, ASPIRE and Ethereal Earth.nki will not load. Error message says the "file format in not supported or corrupt". I re-loaded Elysium Harp — same result. This was all working I am using Kontakt 7 on an iMac running Sonoma 14.5. Help? Thanks!
Kontakt - Noise (after a while) on moving XY pad
Hello, I have just bought Scene : Saffron. I have been using Kontakt 7 standalone to explore the presets and have been extensively using the XY pad with a mouse. After several minutes I get a crackle every time I move the XY pad with the mouse. There is no crackle when the pad isn't moving. The problem steadily increases…
NKS Compatible List
Is there a simple way to find all of the nks-compatible plugins installed on my system (MacOS)? I am trying to create a list. I imagine that Maschine, KK, KT, etc have this info, but is it accessible other than by painfully scrolling through menus?
Older Version of Session Percussionist
Hi, I am still on Kontakt 7. Is there a way to download/downgrade older version of Session Percussionist that works with K6/7?
Kontakt 8 QuickLoad
Kontakt 8 Browser non-rack with access to all the patches on the right can resize nicely to see most all of them at one time. However, after selecting QuickLoad or command F, the QuickLoad window does not appear. This is true also with Kontakt 7 . I've tried everything, as it would be so much easier to add patches to the…
Kontakt 7 very very long to launch
Hi, Kontakt 7 takes about 45s to launch in standalone or as a plugin, Kontakt 6 3s only. Why? Is there a workaround? I have uninstalled it twice but with the same result. Kontakt 7, imho is a real waste of money, I got so many bugs since the begining. I'm on PC i7, 16Go ram
Error Message: "Installation Failed" (MacOS Sonoma)
On my MacOS Sonoma 14.7, Mac Mini M2 Pro, Native Access succeeds in installing and updating all apps except the current Kontakt 7 and Komplete Kontrol. I faithfully followed the recommended steps for clearing the problem but (after rebooting) the installations failed again. Is there some reason you don't display…
Problems with Kontakt 7 - strummed acoustic
Hello dear Native Instruments team, I have a small problem when using my Kontakt 7 plugin on Logic X pro. Specifically, I am using the “Session Guitarist - Strummed Acoustic”. I would like to play the chords with my keyboard (Keystation 49 MK3). Logic recognizes the chords and shows them on the display, but not a single…

Any way to adjust how beatgrids display on whole track preview?
Loving having flaxible beatgrids (finally!) and am busy gridding up all my old disco and soul tracks. In putting in lots of new beatgrid markers to manage a human drum pattern it means that the whole track preview that sites below the moving display (on a deck) is obscured by all the white beat grid markers. Is there any…
Unsaved presets of racks after the 6.5.0 update
I just updated Reaktor Player to version 6.5.0 on Native Access and on saved songs of Cakewalk's Bandlab which were using unsaved presets of racks of Reaktor Player using blocks from Blocks Base and Blocks Prime the racks will not come up come on opening of each of these song. Instead, on startup of Reaktor Player in…
How can I change velocity sensitivity in Kontakt?
For some instruments in Kontakt I need a special velocity curve. I can not change it in my keyboard every time new. Is there a global velocity curve in Kontakt to handle the midi input velocity?
Display problem in kontakt 8
Hello, I have a small display problem with Kontakt 8 that I just installed. When I switch to default view and not to classic view, I am missing a multitude of instruments and libraries. Many do not appear, such as the VST Symphony series. I should point out that everything is present and checked in "file, option, library"…

S49 Mk2 Touch strip MIDI noise
Hello all, I just got myself an S49 mk2 (brand new) and I'm struggling with the touch strip. It continuously transmits CC11 MIDI data to my DAW (Studio One) around the 20-30% range. If I touch it it will send the correct values among the noise, but the noise doesn't stop. So the strip is basically unusable and even worse…
Beatport Streaming issues since FLAC and Traktor 4.1
I seem to have crippling streaming issues ever since Traktor 4.1 release and FLAC availability in Beatport Streaming. This is just one example of my log. I don't even have FLAC enabled in my Beatport Streaming account (kept default 256kb settings). I've tried everything from uninstalling, installing 4.1.1, enabling FLAC,…
Problems with Sustain Pedal on Kontrol S88 MK3
Greets: I have put this off for months now, but I have not been able to get an old M-Audio SP1 pedal to work with my S88 MK3. I should start by stating that when I attempt to plug the pedal to the Sustain port of the keyboard, sometimes the keyboard would power down, sometimes it would restart the keyboard, and sometimes…
Issue running komplete kontrol from Pro Tools after 2024.10 upgrade, anyone have a solution?
I recently upgraded to Pro Tools 2024.10. I also installed Kontakt 8 Player, and updated all of my Arturia plugins to the latest version. I am running the latest version of Komplete Kontrol (v 3.3.3). If I launch the stand alone version of Komplete Kontrol I am able to load and play the Arturia V series plugins without a…
Komplete Kontrol 3.3.3 Crashing Ableton Live 12.1.1 Projects on Launch
Recently ran into an issue where having an instance of Komplete Kontrol 3.3.3 on any Ableton Live 12.1.1 track causes the project to crash at load (screenshot at end of post). I've seen some other older posts about KK crashing, but they're either (a) closed (example) or (b) aren't the same behavior I'm seeing. I can load…
