Beginners guide to file management?
Hi all! I'm just setting up Komplete 15 on a new MacbookPro with 1TB storage. I clicked 'Install All' and went to sleep. My entire drive filled up with lots more in the queue! What NI components should I always keep local and what can be offloaded to an external SSD drive? What is the best practice here? Where do I find…
Why does it take FOREVER to download instruments and content in Native Access 2?
I have Comcast Business as my Internet service provider. It's a long way from Google Fiber in terms of speed and reliability. But still, I usually get somewhere in the range of 100 to 150 Mbps download AND upload speeds (which can frequently reach nearly 200 Mbps). And yet, it takes eight (!) hours to download a single 8GB…
Native Instruments’ upgrade model is a total racket . am I alone in my feelings ?
As a longtime user of Native Instruments products, having invested in Komplete since Ultimate 6 and upgrading through the years, I feel compelled to express my frustration and concern over the current state of NI’s upgrade model. I am not alone in this—many users have voiced similar dissatisfaction, yet nothing seems to…

How to troubleshoot Spotlight Collection instrument in Kontakt

Everything is running smoothly, except for the Spotlight Collection instruments: Middle East, Balinese Gamelan, Cuba, and India.

Komplete 15 Ultimate Upgrade for S-Series Mk3 Controllers (Sweetwater)?
So I'm just being extra cautious here! Sweetwater has a Komplete 15 Ultimate Upgrade for S-Series Mk3 Controllers on sale at the moment. I own a S61 MK3, and have it registered on my NI account. I do not own any version versions of Komplete Standard or Ultimate. My question: Am I right in thinking that JUST owning a S61…

Ultimate
I bought KOMPLETE 15 ULTIMATE Update DL (Download) last year and keep it all up to date from Native Access. When I check for updates or new stuff, I see Ultimate 15 is still being offered to me for an additional £359 even though I am logged into my account.

Hi there, after buying Komplete 15 Ultimate i got a registrationcode for Plugin Alliance. After registration, they told me in the order confirmation that i bought Kompete 14 Ultimate instead of Komplete 15 Ultimate. Is this correct?
The best external drive/specs for Komplete libraries - in your experience?
Hey all, sorry for the long post but I want to get this right. I use a MBP - a 2019 i9 with 32GB RAM, a 1TB SSD and 4 x Thunderbolt 3 ports (USB-C). It's still great at running Logic Pro with my small but beloved collection of NI goodies (Battery 4, Monark, Sanner XT and a few others). As a new Komplete 15 CE owner, I now…
Komplete 15 Update
I have Komplete 11 Ultimate. If I upgrade to Komplete 15 Standard will I lose access to products I have under 11 Ultimate that are not included in 15 Standard? For Example, I use all of the Abbey Road drum packs and most of them are not included in Standard. Thanks!
VERY DISSAPOINTED - LEGAL ACTION IF NEEDED
My parcel, which I purchased on the 23rd of November, never left Germany. No one is even bothering to update me about it! I cannot use my Komplete 15 Ultimate as I need the serial number of the S49 MK3 as it is a bundle deal, and everything is still on the demo version, and you never shipped my product away. If it was OUT…
As a Komplete 14 Standard owner can I upgrade to Komplete 14 Ultimate?
As I wrote in the title, is this even possible? Why I cannot find this possibility on the NI website? Could it be some crude marketing strategy? Why am I being treated similarly to a new NI customer, I mean, at the same price? (600€). I would appreciate some information on this matter.
Komplete 8 Ultimate Transfer To A New System
Hello, So basically my issue is this. I was working with a very old setup and I was running Komplete 8 Ultimate with Kontakt 5.8 I believe? Not 100% sure, but anyways it was an old setup that I decided to run into the ground. Well, it finally hit the ground, so my question is this. I want to transfer all of those Komplete…
Komplete 15 Ultimate Upgrade Price
The black Friday price to upgrade is $400. Even when I have paid for multiple upgrades($1000?), multiple Maschines and Komplete Kontrol controllers, I am only saving $200 from someone buying it new. It just doesn't seem right. I thought the upgrade for me at 50% off was going to be(and should be) $200. Anyone else angry…

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.…
Kontakt 5 creating huge amount of 'system files'

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…
