Where to put self made preview files in a custom library?
Hi there, Just importing a few custom libraries to K8. I wanted to make previews for them so went through the process of creating short .wavs and then converting to .ogg. I've then created a folder within the main library for Previews but it seems these are not being read and used and therefore no previews are showing. See…

Voucher code doesn't seem to work
I bought the Kontakt 8 upgrade a few days ago and got a £89 voucher as part of the deal. However, when I tried to use the voucher to buy the RSI 1 synth, it failed with a message: Coupon code '————' is not valid. Am I missing something? Is the voucher only applicable to certain products? Is there a list of products to…

No Sound and Trouble Recording
I just purchased an S88 MK3 and have been trying to get sound out of it but can't find the correct MIDI settings, and for all my scouring on the internet I've find NO ONE that spells out, step-by-step, how to setup MIDI settings for Windows using Kontakt or Komplete Kontrol.

Kontakt 8 Silently Crashes FL Studio
Kontakt 8 frequently crashes FL Studio. This happens with a simple pattern of one note. I'm using Century Strings: 8Dio Centure Violins 1. I'm not sure whether or not this is relevant, but I had to re-install Windows on a new drive, but my Native Instruments libraries were stored on a separate external SSD, and appear to…

Any roadmap on improved Frontend/Backend for Kontakt 8?
I hear very little about improvements for the Kontakt 8 frontend and backend. Kontakt 8 still has a lot of GUIs from the Classic view I thought would start to get new frontend/backend versions like some low hanging fruit before delving into sample instrument design. The Purge All UX (Purge button with MIDI CC option+NKS at…

Why can't I see Latin Beats Leap in Maschine Mk3?
Hey all, it's been a few days since I got my Maschine MK3 and installed everything that came with it.

I've loaded Kontakt 8 into sound 1.…

Instrument icons are not displaying
Hi all. Due to an unrelated issue, I had to reinstall windows, and thus Native Instruments and Kontakt 8. Fortunately, I have my instrument libraries saved to a different drive, and was able to reconnect them. However, the icons for some of the instruments are displaying as folders. The contents of the folders seem to be…

How do we know which minimum Kontakt version a library requires?
I'm looking into buying this (among others) : I currently have Kontakt 7, and for some technical reasons (running exclusively on Linux) I will be stuck at 7 forever (8 no longer works on Linux). So my question is, when we browse these libraries on NI's website, how do we know which minimum version of Kontakt the library…

How much would you charge to make a Linux version?
Hi, Like many frustrated Linux users I realize that the new version of Kontakt (8) no longer works on Linux (using wine + yabridge). Up to Native Access 1.14 it was smooth and all working (probably because kept more simple) but since Native Access 2 it no longer works. I just bought a new Kontakt license but I was forced…

Kontakt 8 + Spitfire libraries = ???
I will readily admit that I am a Kontakt newbie but is anyone else having issues relocating and reloading Spitfire libraries with Kontakt 8? I'm seeing some solutions with V.7 so maybe I'll try to use that instead but was curious if maybe there's a speed bump to avoid? Thanks for any help!

Why isn't the sautille articulation affected by velocity?
I'm currently using the Amati viola with the sautille articulation, and I wanted to control the dynamics using velocity instead of the mod wheel. I have it switched to velocity just like I do for spiccato (which works fine), but it's not reacting to changes in velocity. Even with it switched to velocity, it still only…
