Massive, why no arm in VST version?
Hi, Massive is a nice, yet quite quite old synth. Many people used it in old projects. Therefore, for backward compatibility purposes, it would be much more helpful, if the VST version had mac ARM support implemented, not only the VST3 version. Is it really that hard to add ARM to VST2.4? I already did by myself, and know…
Maschine 3 - Lots of plugins not showing up in dropdown.
I just got Maschine 3. I scan my plugins, and it finds whatever it finds. I can see all the plugins I want to use in the settings interface. They have checkboxes checked next to them. For example - DirectWave64 vsti, DimensionLE 64 vsti, Spitfire Labs, etc. The thing is, when I try to load one into a track, they don't show…

NI komlplete to ableton vst2/vst3 (pc) not showing and no solution
Hi, i am musician since 15 years but the vst location frustates me a lot! Is there a reasonable, comprehensible explanation of how I can solve the VST Odner problem? There are many videos, but most of them only work on the mac and not on the pc. Thanks! Patrick

I now have no instruments in my projects going back for years. How can I get the KK VSt 2 and put it back on my computer. I tried downloading the older vesion but the VST isn't showing up in my VSTs… Any ideas?
Has anyone had problems with the resolution of vst plugins inside Maschine?
Q: Translation inserted by Moderator (translation by DeepL) Good morning community, I'm writing because some time ago after updating the Maschine software, the plugins are no longer displayed correctly in their windows (something like a bug in their resolution). That is, as such they operate correctly but, for example,…
How to download the VST2 version of FM8 when you already have the VST3 version.
Can anyone tell me how (or if it is possible) to download the VST2 version of FM8 (for Windows)? I have the VST3 version on my laptop but I can't get it to work in Zenbeats so Roland is telling me to try the VST2 version. But I'm not sure how to get the VST2 version of FM8 since I already have the VST3 version. Do I have…

Komplete Kontrol VST2 missing after 3.0.0 update
Please follow the steps in this article: How to Keep Komplete Kontrol 2.9 (VST2) and Komplete Kontrol 3 (VST3) on Your Windows System
Is everything in 'Komplete Start' already included in 'Komplete 14 Ultimate'?
There are a few VST's in the "free" section that look interesting and that I do not believe I have come across yet, though I own 'Komplete ultimate 14.' Instead of letting me just add them to my account and download; it says I have to download 'Komplete Start'. If I do that would everything I already own, that's in 'K.…
Komplete Kontrol VST3 Breaking Old Projects Fixed Yet?
Many have had the issue of not being able to load previous projects after KK updated to VST3, unless downgrading to a previous VST version. (see original post below) I was wondering if there have been any real fixes for this yet or any other workarounds, as the one offered in this mentioned post is not working for me. Any…

Komplete Kontrol v3.2.1 no longer supports VST2 Plugins
I'm using Ableton Live 10 v10.1.41. After upgrading KK v3.2.1, Ableton crash, looking for VST2 Plugins. I have read that KK v3.x.x no longer support VST2 Plugins. So I reinstalled the previous version I had, v2.9.6. The problem is : What do we do with all songs and workflow using VST2 Plugins in the future? At some point,…
How can I fix VST2 to VST3 migration ?
On all of my projects on Ableton, I used a lot of Komplete's VST2. But after some updates, they migrated to VST3 and now Ableton just tells me he can't find them even though they are there. Also, some VST3 that used to work perfectly fine are now just not working anymore like Super8. Ableton is up to date, plugins are too.…
Komplete Kontrol doesn't show up as a VST in ableton
Hello everyone, Ever since I updated my native instruments library I've been doing a lot of troubleshooting, and the one problem I can't seem to fix is that Komplete Kontrol won't show up as a VST in Ableton. A quick Google search told me Komplete Kontrol was indeed a VST3, but when that didn't work I copied it into the…

J'ai perdu le mot de passe NTk deamon
bonjour, je m'appelle Monsieur Lebourgeois Jeremy, j'ai changé d'ordinateur et ensuite j'ai voulu me reconnecter à native instrument. J'ai réussi quand il a fallu ouvrir Native Access.

Kontakt Script to change Instrument and keyrange with modulation
This is an interesting problem. I need a script to change Kontakt Instruments depending on keyrange, and the keyrange will dynamically change with modulation CC#1. This is to select which notes along a guitar fretboard are to be played according to fret positions 0 through 17 assigned by mod wheel. One monophonic…
S88 loses Logic
In Logic, when selecting tracks with different instances of Komplete Kontrol, the S88 M2 does not indicate what instrument is active in both the screen and the lighted key indicators. Sometimes it does, but moving track to track they change very slowly and mostly not at all. Is there a solution? Maybe an instruction for…
Abbey Road Drum Libraries MIDI-mapping
Hi, I need a way to use the same MIDI-mapping across the whole range of Abbey Road (and Studio Drummer) Libraries. They all contain the possiblity to save optional mappings, but I can not find a way to use those across the libraries. Attached picture shows how I created my own mapping and saved it, but it does not show up…
Can I export sample loop & release metadata from kontakt 8?
I am sampling a pipe organ and making a VST instrument. I like Kontakt and I would prefer to do it with it. The thing is, I have the chance to give it to a music museum in Barcelona. They have their own sampler there and I need to send them the samples with its loop and release metadata, so we can port it to their…
Kontakt7 libraries viewer is initialized when closed and opened.
I am using FLStudio2024. If I close the window once and reopen it with the STRINGS ENSENMBLE Instrument open, the STRINGS ENSENMBLE in the Libraries is not selected. (It is the first state where nothing is selected). This did not happen when I was using Kontakt5 before, but I wonder if there is a solution to this…
Enabling flux mode in loops
Hi! I have been really enjoying using Traktor Pro for the past two years (version 3 and then later 4). I use it with either mouse/keyboard, or a Numark Mixtrack Pro 3 and a midi mapping file found off the internet and edited to fit my needs. However there is something that has always bugged me about loops and flux mode.…
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…
