No Sound except a Piano Sound in Komplete Kontrol after latest updates
It wasn't giving me any sound at all. Then I got it to work, but only a piano sound after loading the Grandeur. Now every intrument plays that one sound. No sound on trying presents in the right list per instrument. My speakers are working. The latests sound drivers. ASIO is working good. I uninstalled Komplete Kontrol and…
Instrument shows in Logic
I believe that Native and Kontakt are loaded onto Mackbook M1 OS 15.2/Logic. AU Instruments > Native Instruments > Kontakt 7. No instruments show. When I choose Kontakt, a Welcome to Kontakt page comes up. I don't understand that page. All other software sounds work with the keyboard. I hope I can get this working. I've…
Kontakt [7] and Routing w Session Horns Pro Keyswitch
Hello! I have a question regarding the following problem with my system (Mac/Ableton): I've prepared ready-made clips for my system, where various instruments are already routed to the different audio tracks. This works very well so far. Only one instrument is giving me a headache for the first time, which I have to set…
Why are Abbey Road Drummers telling me I need Kontakt 7.x to play them, when I have Kontakt Player 8
And it works. (As far as I can tell, I'm not missing any functionality.) Is this just a very confusing erroneous error message in the Native Access app? ☹️

Kontakt Komplete Standard 13 Full Kontakt 7 Kontakt Player 8 Cubase Pro 12 on Windows 10 I have had difficulty with creating and mixing mid to low end, and in this case I'm needing a very specific bass sound from the 1971 “Lady in Black” by Uriah Heep.

impossible to relocate library location
Kontakt shows this library as not found, it's installed in Native Access but for some reason when I click on Installation Paths it points to a Documentation folder and there is no way I can switch it to the correct folder, which is Instruments. How can I make Native Access see my installed library without having to…

I use Ableton Live 11. The thing is that when I log into the native instruments app on my second computer using the same email…
Why "version of Kontakt is too old" when loading . . Saffron.nki into Kontakt 7.10.7
As far as I can tell I have the latest Kontakt 7, yet Scene - Saffron.nki won't load. (Nor does it show up in my available instruments inside Kontakt.) When I try to drag it in the full message is: "Your version of Kontakt is too old to load this file, which was saved with Unknown Tool (unsupported). Please update to the…
Kontakt: Rescanned my folder, instruments disappeared
I have been trying to solve my problem with the support, but they're asking same questions again on an endless loop, so I'm turning to find help from the community. I was running Kontakt 7.6.1 and had several instruments installed to my "F:\NI Libraries" folder via Native Access. They were properly shown in the Library…
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…
Mapping Kontact in Studio One
Hey Native Instrumites I've been working through a fresh install of Studio One Professional 6.6. I recently purchased a new to me M Audio Oxygen 49 and was trying to map buttons and faders. I was able to map the keyboard to Studio One in built instruments like presence then spitfire instruments. One of the techs said the…

K7 pooped out a crashlog and asked me to send it to support but none of the support pages list any means to do so (I AM logged in) Any ideas out there?

NI Access shows all my libraries, yet Kontakt 7 doesn't recognize them and Kontakt Player shows them as "Demo".
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…
I cannot "uninstall" Kontakt 7 from Native Access - it seems no one else can either...
Hi, I just purchased an upgrade to Kontakt 8 (full) and installed it OK using Native Access (on macOS Sequoia). Of course I want to uninstall Kontakt 7 (full) now. 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…
how do I upgrade from kontakt 7 player to kontakt 7 full ?
Hi, I am using my kontakt 7 player and I have a plan to upgrade to kontakt 7 full (not kontakt8). But the probleme is I don't know how. I know that I have to buy it in native-instrument's website but I see only kontakt 8. I don't want kontakt 8. I just want to upgrade my kontakt 7 to full version.

Hello, After migrating from an Intel MacBook Pro 2019 to a Mac Studio M2 Ultra, I am having an issue where the Kontakt 7 VST3 is missing from the plugin list in my DAW in Rosetta/Intel launch mode. The plugin does not appear in Ableton, and any session launched from the past results in Kontakt 7 not being found - breaking…
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…

New questions

Install Vir 2 Studio Kit on my M1 Macbook.

360 Free Trial Serial Code Troubles
I found the serial code for my 360 Free Trial. Every time I enter the Serial Code, I get an error. I checked the guide that comes with the error screen, nothing corresponds with why I'd be getting an error. I've already wasted 2 days of this trial because of my naivety to the software, I really do want to use it before my…

LUA script: Global table 'Kontakt' is empty (nil value)
1st attempt to work with Visual Studio and Kontakt LUA scripts. I managed to launch Kontakt 8 from VS Run Task(*) and then I run the first lua script from the LUA API tutorial. As you can see in the screenshot below, the 'Hello World" command is printed. Yet, the Kontakt global object is empty. This means that API falied…

I recently revisited the idea of using the Kontakt drums in the Maschine software to play like the Maschine expansions. There were a few discussion topics here on the forum and YouTube videos that I have found and tried and recently tried again with Kontakt 7/8 and I still can not get the drums routed to individual tracks…

Modular Icons Sequencer Notes
Correct me if I’m being a dummy, but you can set the key & scale and lock this in the sequencer. Say I did E Minor. When you go to nudge the notes, shouldn’t this be programmed to minor notes only? It’s a music theory question really. For example, you’ve set the seq to e minor, is selecting maj 3rd or all majors make any…
