Permanently convert library files from 44.1khz to 96khz ?
I would like to know how to convert the Kontakt library to the desired resolution for faster loading of the instruments, so that this process is not always repeated at length when loading a project? With larger projects this takes forever (<= Kontakt 7).

Kontakt 8 not detected in Logic Pro 11.2.1
Since updating to the latest version of Kontakt 8.5.1, Kontakt is no longer available as an audio unit plugin in Logic. I've tried doing a full uninstall of all versions of Kontakt on my system (6, 7 and 8) and reinstalling them, then restarting my Mac, forcing a full audio unit rescan in Logic and Kontakt 8 still doesn't…

Kontakt 8.5.1 crashes Cubase 14
I’m experiencing a critical and recurring issue with Kontakt 8.5.1 (latest version) in Cubase 14.0.32 on Windows 11 (build 26100.1). While working on projects that use Kontakt 8 (VST3 version), Cubase suddenly crashes — sometimes within minutes of loading the project. The crash is consistent across several sessions and…

Position of Libraries in Kontakt 8 browser - where does Kontakt save the "position" in OSX?
I have several hundred different contact libraries (many third-party providers), which I carefully sort in the browser and put in a certain order. For example, I put all guitars, choirs, basses, drums in a row to access them quickly. My question: Where does Kontakt save the information of the position within the Kontakt…

Struggling to understand how to use Electric Mint phrase feature
I have all the Session Guitar instruments, and I use their Auto-Chord feature a lot. I use keyswitches to play chord changes with particular patterns for however many bars I need by entering MIDI notes in my DAW's piano roll. Elec. Mint doesn''t have this. Instead, it has the drag-drop phrase feature. But in constructing a…

Session Percussionist forced DAW sync
Hi, I've tried Session Percussionist for the first time yesterday and while I see a lot of potential it has a major flaw in my opinion. With transport stopped, when you feed midi notes a pattern will start playing from the beginning on note-on. This is pretty much like any other drum sequencer works. With transport…

Using Midi CC to change Auto-chord Key on the fly in Session Guitarist. Possible?
I’m working in my DAW (Cakewalk) with Kontakt, using Session Guitarist Electric Vintage. I’m using auto chords and the key is set to F.

"Build Your Own Bundle" option
As we all know, NI loves to toss out bundles willy-nilly at lower prices than their combined parts. The biggest sticking point I have with a lot of the bundles, Komplete Std/Ult/Col included, is that 99% of the time the bundles will have a fantastic selection of products but won't include the product(s) I'm interested in,…

Please add a DOUBLE TAP to return encoder to default (or better yet preset default) value
NI please add a DOUBLE TAP to return encoder to default (or better yet preset default) value to both KK and Kontakt. This would be especially helpful for fine tuning knobs that are so hard to precisely adjust with the encoders. Of course as it might some annoy other users, you may want to add it as an option. Please like…

Make it possible to switch Modulation and Expression placements in GUIs
Annoying thing I see on modern GUIs for NI is the strange misplacement of Mod and Expression controls. These are expressive instruments where it would be nice if they are in the order recommended and used by many users. Many users with composer controls have this order (due to ergonomic benefits): Expression Modulation…

Onboard speaker audio in Komplete Kontrol & Reaktor, but not Kontakt?!

Random volume from MIDI instrument track
Pro Tools with Kontakt 7 instrument track. I've removed all effects from the instrument. Imagine a four-note MIDI melody. Try controlling the volume of each note using MIDI Volume or Audio Volume or Velocity or Expression (CC11). None of these effectively controls the volume that comes out, which seems completely random.…

Why do I have to choose my controller everytime I switch tracks in KONTAKT 8/CUBASE???
I have a 4500+ Orch template, and now everytime I switch to a track in CUBASE my KONTROL s88 MK3 shows "Default MIDI Template" instead of all the controller options for that plug in UNLESS I go to FILE/CONTROLLER and re-choose K88.

Which Native Instruments piano includes a lot of piano mechanical noise (hammers and keys)?
I am looking for a Piano Kontakt instrument that includes a lot of extra piano noise (for example, the sounds of the springs and hammers inside the piano, or even the sounds of the keys being depressed).

The Kontakt 7's library browser is GREAT but utterly unusable due to this one simple flaw

Even the detailed view does not show the full name. It shows everything BUT the actual name of the file. There's no tool tip for the search results…

Release NI expansion based on Rise & Hit and other sound effect libraries

Kontakt 8.2 Komplete UI (KUI): Low Quality Online Documentation, Buggy Demo
