Question How to stop open hats playing when playing closed hats for dummy with anxiety? I have watched a you tube on this by David Hilowitz but it did not go through my head. Yes,don't laugh. I created a new group by duplicating group 1 for the closed hi hat. I turned off, "edit all groups". In the closed hat group,I…

Kontakt 7 / 8 hang for 5-10s when a Cinematic Rooms plugin is active anywhere in the project
Hi, I’ve discovered that when any instance of Cinematic Rooms (VST2 or VST3) is active on any track (even FX or Group), Kontakt (7 and 8 player, but not Kontakt 5).8 freezes for about 8–10 seconds every time its instrument editor window is closed. This is either with or without a Kontakt instrument loaded. The file→options…

No sound from Kontakt 7 in DAW
Since the last Kontakt 7 update, I’m not getting any sound in Cubase 14 Pro. Kontakt reacts to MIDI signals, and I can see the volume meters moving (inside Kontakt only), but there’s no audible sound. Kontakt 7 still works perfectly fine in standalone mode. Reinstalling didn’t solve the problem. In Cubase, I had to switch…

Kontakt crashes after inactivity
Hi guys! I've been experiencing an issue for the past year or two, where Kontakt crashes after a period of inactivity both in standalone and in DAW.

Kontakt 7 choir - can I extend the range of voices eg the bass?
Ordinarily you'd find the spanner icon and select the keyboard part then drag the range upwards. But with the Kontakt 7 instruments the spanner icon is missing and there's just a NI logo instead. In the choir instrument the bass only goes to A2. Bit low - I need Bb2. Pitch bend doesn't go the whole semitone up. How can I…

Database, still find myself using Kontakt 5
I understand the problem of the database they were using in previous version. Depending on your sample library, Kontakt took a long time to load but it was valuable tool when searching for samples in you collection. It seemed to load into memory for some reason. They completely removed the database option in 7 and 8. These…

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…

Kontakt Leap instruments not showing in Komplete Kontrol

Native Access, as you all know, offers NO WAY to uninstall Kontakt 7 (or presumable any other NI apps; it does let me uninstall content data) - NI instead gives…

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…

Furious that updating libraries breaks instruments and nothing is done
Spent a long time updating a load of virtual instruments in Native Access to find out that they no longer work in Kontak 7 and that I'm expected to either fork out a load more money for K8 or go through the rigmarole of having to uninstall them all, redownload old versions via the website and reinstall from an ISO. It is a…
