I'm experiencing audio engine hiccups & complete freezes with a particular library - the Impact Soundworks Pearl Concert Grand, whilst playing using a controller. On my main machine, I've lowered the voice count as far as 80, and it's still happening. On an older, slower machine, it seems to be working at 64. I haven't…

Will Kontakt8 see a return of the Wrench Icon for editing/scripting, Yes or No? Please tell us.
The Wrench Icon! As a maker of microtonal music the wrench icon was the sole reason I upgraded to Kontakt years ago. Now, without 'the wrench icon' there is no ability to do microtonal music or abnormal tunings. As of K7 it seems to be rare for an instrument have 'the wrench' anymore.Thankfully I recently realized the old…

India Spotlight, Rotary encoder CC80 instead of modulation wheel CC1, standalone
In India Spotlight, Modulation Wheel is assigned by default to the groove parameter in the Ensamble, and to speed of rolls/ornaments in the single instruments. Yet MW returns to zero, and a rotary encoder that stays in the middle position (12 o'clock) would be more convenient. I have an external keyboard with some rotary…

Modern Scoring bundle, Majestica, Pro Strings Sounding notes in Keyswitches
There seems to be a problem with some Majestica patches. As an example: The lower notes of the Pro strings are spread out to the lower notes that also are used for the keyswitches.

Trying to make Kontakt's Microtuning script MIDI-assignable

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work, probably because the 12 sliders are part of a single object, I suspect it's a so called…

Noise gate effect necessary for DAW auto-bypass on silence (CPU reduction)
Unless I'm missing something, it's quite strange that a plugin old enough to drink anywhere in the world doesn't include a simple noise gate among its list of 92 effect modules. 😏 Aside from being important for all the standard reasons, it's crucial for CPU savings in DAWs like Reaper that automatically bypass plugins with…

[Feature Request] Kontakt: save/load map maps
Taking a note from HISE, the ability to save/load sample maps (manually and via KSP) from the Mapping Editor as an external file (xml, csv, etc.) I believe would be huge for us sample library creators (instead of using tons of groups that can get confusing and complicated).

Using hard coded velocity as "sample selector" across multiple groups
Hey all! I'm trying to build something based on the Roland JD-990, where you have 4 "tones", or layers if you will. I'm using the velocity layers across two groups (as there are more than 127 waveforms) to hold the various waveforms for one layer. I was able to set up a waveform selector that allows/disallows group 0 and 1…
