Integrate NAM amp captures into Guitar Rig
Hello Native Instruments team, I’m a long‑time Guitar Rig user who relies heavily on its modular workflow, preset management, and routing flexibility. GR’s ability to save multiple variations of a module and swap them inside a preset is one of its greatest strengths, and it’s a workflow that no other guitar platform…

Feature request: ability to turn off auto trim on Grow Pattern mode
I'd like to be able to make a loop that honors when I press the record button to stop it. For instance I hit record, I play 2 bars of notes, then 2 bars of nothing, then hit record again - that should result in a 4 bar loop, instead of trimming it down to 2 bars. It could be a checkbox in the Default tab under Grow Pattern…

Feature Request: Real-time Waveforms for Live Input (Like Serato/Rekordbox)
Hello Traktor team and community, I am a long-time Traktor user and I love the software, but there is one feature I really miss when playing on a hybrid setup. When I switch a deck to "Live Input" to play a real, analog vinyl record, the waveform area is completely empty (showing only the VU meters). It would be amazing if…

capturing samples from tracks
This is a developmenmt suggestion: on the version of Traktor Pro 3 that I have, when capturing a section (sample) from a track you can only do this in a stepwise manner using the loop feature ie 1/2, 1, 4, 8 beats. It would be great if you could refine your selection to select the exact part of the track that you want to…

Feature Request: AI-Powered Performance Engine for Kontakt — Real Samples, Intelligent Performance
Hi Native Instruments team, I would like to suggest a concept for the future of Kontakt: an AI-powered performance engine designed to make existing sampled instruments perform MIDI more naturally and intelligently. The idea is NOT to turn Kontakt into a text-to-music generator and NOT to replace real sampled instruments…

Restoring Factory Presets from Snapshots (Single Mode)
I’ve been working with Traktor Pro’s effects—now numbering 43—since 2013. I’ve used them occasionally during my nearly 400 sets with this program. However, I still feel like I haven’t truly understood a single one of these effects completely. As a result, the results of my use of these effects are often rather…

NI Session Percussionist Won't play 1/2 time or 2x
I have at least a dozen Kontakt Drum Machines. In all of them, if you select 1/2 time or 2x it plays back at those speeds and when you record it it's recorded at those speeds. With Session Percussionist, it doesn't work. If I press the little play button in the plugin it plays at the changed tempo, but there is no way to…

Maschine 3 as VST set exact value in automation point.
Hello, I use Maschine 3 Software as VST inside my FL Studio DAW. Is there a way to set an exact value to any automation point? It is really important to do proper transitions. In case it is not possible, could this be added somehow to a coming version?

Transposing on S61 MK3 - WHY IS IT NOT VISIBLE on the LCD!?!
If I transpose semi-tones on the S61, MK3 keyboard, why is it not shown on the LCD? It is an ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL feature that I would expect of a keyboard costing a fraction of this one. I have been a komplete use for the past 15 years and can't believe that this feature is missing! NI, please add the transpose value to…

4Deck Vertical Layout
Mixing with 4 decks, I find the 2 x 2 layout confusing as any mixer has the channels 4 in a row. It would be good to have a layout that arranges the decks as 4 vertical stripes to match the mixer. I think it would be possible by stacking the buttons in to more rows, and having all the mixer controls at the bottom. Also,…

Pivot Pads
This is an idea post (feature request). The forum system wouldn't let me post an idea cause "category ID required" but the category drop down gave me "no options". … The kick, hat and snare are always on the same pads, which get used thousands of times more often than the other pads. So to keep the Machine pads wearing…

Idea: Standalone Metronome
(Posting here because again the forum won't give me any ability to post in the "post an idea" section cause the "category" drop down is blank. I think with the NI standalone apps each one should have a standalone metronome onboard. You can set up its tempo and sound then toggle it on, and it just plays by itself; no piano…

Maschine 3 Software as VST Undo/Redo buttons in the interface
Hello, I use Maschine 3 Software as VST inside my FL Studio DAW. Working with M3 Software, Ctrl+Z doens't work because that keyboard shortcut is always linked to FL Studio.

You could either customize it in the…

Re-offer Despoke SSD drives for Komplete 26 Ultimate Collectors bundle

[Urgent Workflow Regression] Restore Loop IN/OUT Hardware Control on Traktor Kontrol S2
Hi Native Instruments / Traktor team, I strongly recommend restoring direct Loop IN and Loop OUT hardware control for Traktor Kontrol S2 users. Earlier S2 versions provided dedicated Loop IN and Loop OUT controls. These allowed DJs to choose the exact beginning and ending of a loop directly from the controller. In the…

Proposal for a Dual-Engine Approach to Solve UI Scaling Issues
Dear Native Instruments Development Team, I am writing to propose a practical, long-term solution for the ongoing High DPI and UI scaling issues in Kontakt. Many of us are no longer working on small screens. We use 4K/high-resolution monitors and OS scaling at 125% or higher, which makes Kontakt's current bitmap-based…

Just one little Midi Recording tweak, please!
As Maschine is very nice and quick for tapping in notes it’s well known that it lacks a bunch of modern sequencing features like probability, polymeters and midi fx. An obvious workaround would be to use an external sequencer but there is one Maschine behavior that makes this solution annoyingly tricky to use. Whenever I…

Consistency check improvement
I can't seem to be able to post this idea under "Share Ideas for Traktor Pro" so i hope maybe one of the mods can adjust it to the correct forum?

Move control keyswitches to Octave 0 across ALL Kontakt libraries
Hello, Please move the special effects, expressions, and keyswitches (the orange/pink keys) in the Session Bassist series and other Kontakt 8 libraries from Octave 1 down to Octave 0.

Eq Match ARA with Protools
Hi All, I use the existing Rx Spectal editor as an ARA plugin with Pro Tools 2026.4 quite freqeuntly when cleaning dialogue.

make it possible to switch presets with hardware controller
NKS allows hardware control of devices inside a DAW or Mainstage. Great. But it hardly works. When I instantiate any NKS compatible plugin inside a DAW like Cubase or Bitwig, I cannot use Maschine for instance to do any NKS kiond of thing. The most important thing, unrelated to NKS, is that me as many many others want to…

Project and Group management on the M+
Does anyone have any tips or best practices for managing Projects and Groups within the Maschine+ standalone?

When can we expect a Komplete Select Orchestral and a Cinematic edition?
Hello, I’ve been subscribing to Komplete Standard since 2014, 2015, and now 2026. I’d like to upgrade to Ultimate, but I don’t think there’s a discount available for upgrading from Standard to Ultimate anymore, as there used to be at one point. Actually, what’s important to me about the Ultimate package is that it focuses…

Maschine 3 interface is too dark and hard to read
Hi, I recently upgraded to Maschine 3 and I find the new interface much harder to read than Maschine 2. The overall design is extremely dark, with too much black and not enough contrast in some areas. After a while, it becomes visually tiring and uncomfortable to use, especially during longer sessions. Maschine 2 had a…

Reopen last remix set used at the Traktor start

About the Kontakt startup screen
Kontakt takes a long time to start, so I always end up starting it twice. What do you think about Kontakt displaying a "startup screen" first when it's launching? If the startup screen does not appear initially, it is impossible to determine whether the application is running or not accepting double-clicks.

Maschine Poly Synth - Pulse Oscilators leak high energy. ¿DC correction?
Just decided to give a chance to PolySynth, after years of using VSTs for this range. And I was very satisfied with the easyness of use and specially its clear page disposition of controlls.

It would be very useful to be able to play a hardware…

Traktor 4 Pro High refresh Waveform
I think would be a cool idea to make waveform be able to choose a higher waveform refresh, at the moment it feels like it's about 30hz even though my monitor is running at 240hz, I'm not sure if there would be any difference higher than 60hz but at least an option would be nice as I would like to see a silky smooth…

It would be great if you could record your own animation patterns in Massive X player
I'm enjoying playing about with Massive X player, but it would be really good if I could save the various moves I make around the XY pad to the animator. If I recall you used to be able to do this in Molekular, so it's a bit of a downgrade not to be able to do it here. Also it's disappointing that you can't do any XY pad…

We’re all running widescreen displays at this point.

A more modular top bar would be a killer feature. This seems like it could be very…
