Electric Mint -- Getting Midi notes into Guitar Pro, not just key switches
Hello. First, I'm new to Native Instruments, virtual guitar plugins, and midi keyboards.

Issue with Kontakt 8 Player and Audio routing
Probably more of a niche use case but I believe there's a bug in Kontakt Player 8 (And possibly in Kontakt 8 as well) where the routing of audio isn't handled correctly with the handoff between Native Instruments and Windows/Elgato Wave Link. The observed behavior is that Kontakt Player 8 (KP8) is defaulting to outputting…
