[FIX] LORES – Some Preset Layers Not Working
If you're experiencing issues with certain Lores presets where layers aren’t working, I’ve found a simple workaround.

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…
Kontakt 8 doesn't tell you *what* is missing, when there's missing content
I'm running a PC as well as a Laptop (for at home), and try to have all the same plugins and libraries on both systems, to open the same projects from either location. This works great normally. Lately if there's a library missing on the laptop, when opening a project created on the desktop — it just is blank. No indicator…

How to change the "Native Instruments" folder location of Kontakt 8 Player on OSX?
When I open Kontakt 8 Player on OSX, it always creates a "~/Documents/Native Instruments" folder containing a "Kontakt 8" folder containing the folders "ir_samples" and "presets". I would like to use a custom location for this instead, such as "~/Documents/MusicLibraries/Native Instruments". Can I change this and if so,…
No Sound except a Piano Sound in Komplete Kontrol after latest updates

Hi! The VST3 version of Kontakt 8 is not showing i the plugin window in Ableton. The AU version is visible and working fine.

Kontakt 8 in Maschine, but…
@Matthew_NI just before closing the topic where we could Ask Kontakt 8 creators anything, you dropped a link to an interesting video on Using Kontakt 8 in Maschine (as linked below), but what did you mean by ‘Here you go’ in response to: “Okay thanks, but in that case I also better wait upgrading, as K8-compatibility with…

Kontakt 8 Reset Search filters
Hi. Since installing my new S61 a few days ago, the search filters in Kontakt is only displaying a few presets. I've looked all around to see how to reset the search filters but no where to be found. Even on the S61, Browser mode, pressing shift will not allow me to reset filters as this menu is greyed out. Looks like I've…
If I delete Guitar Rig 6 will Guitar Rig 7 replace the old version automatically?
This process works going from Kontakt 7 to 8 (in Logic 11). Does it work for Guitar Rig? After the Kontakt 7 plugin is completely removed from the system Logic 11 replaces all instances of K7 with K8. A very useful feature!

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…
Kontakt Script to play_note() with keyswitch
I need a script to retrigger a held note when a keyswitch is depressed to change the group. I'm surprised this isn't a standard function to allow changing articulations with sustained notes, unless it's been added since Kontakt 5. The application is for guitar glissandos along a single string. The glissando samples are in…

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…

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…
