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…
Am I the only one suddenly not able to make purchases?
I wanted to pick up the new 24 Keys bundle and it says: Oops Something Went Wrong with Your Request. Never had this trouble before.
Release NI expansion based on Rise & Hit and other sound effect libraries
Inspired by some media composers who manually sample Kontakt instrument sounds and catalogue them, then instead just drag and drop these samples on their timeline instead of using the Kontakt version, I would suggest NI should release companion expansions to Rise & Hit and other SFX style libraries. Release sample…
Persistent 'Download Failed' Issue on Native Access v13.8 (M1 Pro, macOS Sonoma 14.5)
Hi everyone, I've been experiencing persistent 'download failed' errors on Native Access v13.8 despite following all the recommendations from the knowledge base and community forums. Here’s what I’ve already tried: Granted full disk access to all NI applications Disabled iCloud recovery Restored default download folders…
Filter Expansions by Genre?
Hi TL:DR Can I edit the Genre of expansions on a global level? Meaning, everything from that expansion will get tagged with "DnB" for example? I have at least 4 Drum and Bass expansions and none of them are showing up, by genre, when I browse from the software. Also, I've just realized that after looking at the website for…
NI MPC Expansions
Hi! I'm excited to hear about the support for NI expansions on MPC. As a Maschine user looking for an MPC (for a one-and-done fun college solution), this is incredible. Nothing surpasses NI sound quality and this is amazing to hear about. I am wondering if I already own expansions that are available as MPC versions, do I…
Not all expansions I own show up in NativeAccess
I moved from an old Mac mini i7 to a new one with Apple silicon M4. I installed NativeAccess on the fresh OSX system. Now, not all expansions which I own are shown in NativeAccess. I already removed the NativeAccess.xml and let a new one build, no change. What can I do? What can be the reason? Thank You very much, Frédéric…

Can see all my Expansions in Maschine 2.18.4 & 3.00 but none in Maschine 3.01 after update from 3.00
Seems that Maschine 3.01 isn't working as it should do after update from 3.00. Can't see any Expansions at all and it also freezes when saving on closing the standalone version. I can see all Expansions in 2.18.4 but not in 3.01. All my Expansions are located at my External SSD. I have also noticed that I can't add the…

But after looking at the Komplete 15 and what it offers, just makes sense to get the collector’s edition. So does anyone know where I can get a full list of…

hi, is there a way to check which product is included in Komplete standard and which in Komplete now in order to understand if it's still worth for me paying for Komplete now after I purchased Komplete standard edition ?
Broken HD: How to redownload Maschine expansion packs?
My hard drive is broken and I want to re download and re-install. Using Native access, I can only select "relocate". Any one pls?
Help Understanding Expansions
Ahoy Mateys! Hopefully most of you had a seamless Maschine 3 SW integration. Those that chose to upgrade that is. And to those less fortunate, be patient. I've had some lackluster experiences with NI in the past but they have ALWAYS worked to resolve any issue I've encountered, albeit, not always as quickly as I'd have…
How to use expansions?
I picked up a couple of massive X expansions, installed them. I see them in the right folders, everything seems ok. However when I load Massive X as a plugin in Ableton, it has nothing but Init - Massive X, Init - Massive X Blank, QSG-01 Modulation, QSG-02 Effects, QSG-03 Control and that's it. I've hit the scan button,…
Maschine Central doesn't work on high velocity notes
There is a bug in Maschine Central, I just tested in Maschine+ standalone, but the thing is that the highest velocity in the multisampled instruments only go up to 126, so if you play hard it doesn't sound, and is much more frequent than I though when I hit the maximum velocity while playing and it just drop notes. it is…
I feel cheated and tricked by Native Instruments
I feel cheated and tricked by Native Instruments I bought a System Kontrol 88 keyboard from the Thomman store in mid-2024 - I received a KOMPLET 14 Select sound package with it - then less than three months ago I updated the package to the Kontrol STANDARD 14 version for which I paid an additional 199 euros. After three…

Why are old expansion updating?
Recently I've seen some old Maschine expansions updating, but there are no release notes. Whats changed?
Empire Breaks - individual drum hit DAW routing?
Hi community. Do you know if Empire breaks supports individual drum routing in a DAW? e.g. Kicks to ST1, snare to ST2 etc.. I know battery supports drum routing, but the empire breaks GUI doesn't seem to have these kind of options, unless I have the wrong approach? Obvs one can use the outputs in the kontakt rack to send…

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…
