Kontakt is not loading samples until they're played (Kontakt 7, Kontakt 8)
I'm having the same problem described in this other thread. That thread was marked as resolved, but no solution was described. I'm using Pro Tools in my case.

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 crashes in Studio One occasionally with "kernelbase.dll" error
The issue seems restricted to Kontakt specifically. I have a huge project, but I've tested loading a blank project, and it happens too.

Multi KSP Velocity Midi Map
Hey everyone! I'm scratching mt head over this: how do I midi map the knobs in Multi KSP scripts to a MIDI CC? I have the "Change Velocity" script added to my Multi, so I can set a certain velocity curve to all my instruments.

Everything on Kontakt is broken
Several preferences were deleted after a routine maintenance procedure, and now all my Kontakt libraries appear broken or in demo mode. I've reinstalled NI Access, but nothing is working. Pure chaos!

I am seeing this in K8 and previous versions, plugin and standalone, MacOS. For K8, location of factory scripts AFAIK is /Library/Application Support/Native\ Instruments/Kontakt 8/Presets/Scripts.

Hi All! I've consistently updated my plugins through Native Access. I was operating off of the Kontakt Player and Kontakt 7 (I never knew which one to use - rookie mistake).

Intermittent, unpredictable tech problem wth S4 – what can I try?
Just once in a while – commonly after I've imported a bunch of new tunes, but not always – the S4 will freeze, ignoring all button pushes etc, but the software keeps playing.
