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. This forces me to Undo/Redo from the menu, which is slow and tedious. Is it possible to add two Undo/Redo buttons to the interface? Most of VSTs have…

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…

VST Display / Organization / Customization in Maschine
Howdy & greetings from Texas! I’ll keep this short and sweet - as the idea of like to bring up is simple. I’m sure this has been discussed or requested, but I would LOVE for there to be a way to create custom categories or groups of specific plugins within the VST insert dropdown! You could either customize it in the…

Inquiry/Feedback regarding the "Clear Collection" function
Hi development team, I have a question and a quick piece of feedback regarding how the library management behaves. I needed to clean up my collection, so I used the "clear collection" function. However, I noticed that all of my playlists disappeared along with the tracks. Is there a way to run the clear collection function…

Dual‑Channel Layering on Komplete Kontrol S‑Series MK3
Hello Native Instruments team, First of all, thank you for the fantastic work you’ve been doing with the Komplete Kontrol S‑Series MK3. The recent improvements, firmware updates, and overall user experience really show how much care goes into shaping these controllers. I’d love to suggest a feature that I—and I believe…

Re-offer Despoke SSD drives for Komplete 26 Ultimate Collectors bundle
NI used to offer their Komplete bundles on a separate HD that would be shipped to you. They stopped doing that some time after Komplete 10 or later (I Don't remember). Unfortunately, now Komplete 26 Ultimate Collectors edition requires 1.6T to install. Those of us who are stuck with SLOW internet bandwidth are screwed. Let…

[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…

Timestamped History & Mix Recorder Performance Logs
Subject: Traktor Pro feature request — timestamped History and Mix Recorder performance logs Hi Native Instruments / Traktor team, I posted on X today requesting that the Last Played column display the complete time in hours, minutes and seconds. I’d like to expand that into a broader feature proposal: a timestamped…

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? I’d love to see a “Refresh Metadata from Files” or updated Consistency check option in Traktor. Many DJs manage their libraries with external tools such as Mp3tag, Apple Music,…

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. Currently, having these keyswitches mapped on Octave 1 blocks the lowest, most crucial register of the bass instrument. When we transpose…

Removing music from basketball arena
I would like to use Scene Rebalance to remove the music that is heard playing inside a basketball arena. We do not have the rights to the music, but I still want to hear the sqeaking shoes and grunts from the players. The current version of Scene Rebalance is tuned for music in the foreground and catagorizes the arena…

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. I also frequently eq match when trying to match ADR lines to location recordings. I thought it would be a great feature (and time saver!) if Eq match could be made an ARA plugin similar to the RX…

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? Specifically, can you tag different groups/projects or save them in subfolders on the SD card? For projects, it's a pain to scroll through the full list of projects without any other information (e.g. create date,…

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…

REQ: Piano roll feature in Maschine 3
Hello, Just want to ask if in future update you could add a piano roll feature like FL studio where you can see each midi layer on top of each other for different tracks or if not then be able to colour specific midi in the track, I like to see what the song sounds like all in one octave so begin able to put all midi in…

Reopen last remix set used at the Traktor start
I would be very happy if Traktor had an option to automatically reopen the last remix set used in the last session. I use Kontrol F2 and I always need to reopen the same remix set with the same samples I use. Automatic reopening would save a lot of time.

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. I will still hold my opinion about sound, as I need to explore more. However, noticed that when using Pulse Osc in widths different…

Receiving DIN midi clock on the Kontrol S MK3
Hi! First post on this forum… I'm own an S88 since a while and recently bought an S61 for another setup. I use one of these in a hybrid setup, as well to be used on the pc with Komplete etc., as in a hardware oriented setup with an external sequencer or drum module. It would be very useful to be able to play a hardware…

Feature Request: Select/Load Random Preset Button
It's nothing new: add a button on top or at the bottom of the preset selection tree which triggers the tree to select a random preset. It should be very easy from a programmatical viewpoint. Use your languages random function and tree.select on the range of 0 and tree.length. The advantage on doing it on the tree directly…

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…

Basic Accessibility Feature Missing - Mouse Hover - Feature Request
For new users, it’s important to see what they’re clicking on. When the mouse hovers over an icon, there should be a way to show its purpose—like a small icon next to the cursor or a dedicated info bar. What do you think?

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…

Can we get full size views for all four effects banks?
We’re all running widescreen displays at this point. There’s heaps of info that we’re not seeing when we’re running four effects banks with the two small FX displays in each FX window, especially with new features like the pattern player. A more modular top bar would be a killer feature. This seems like it could be very…

Maschine+/Mk3: Missing Option to Convert a Single Pattern to Clip – Feature Request
Converting a single Pattern to a Clip in standalone or controller mode is currently not possible. Right now, Maschine+ converts the entire Scene instead. On the other hand, the software can convert an individual Pattern. For workflow continuity, this should also be possible on the hardware. A potential solution would be to…

GR7 Envelope Time Bugs
Every time a component is added, moved or removed, if any node is longer than 1000 from its neighboring node, it will snap back to 1000. Also, while you are able to drag any node past 1000, its stated time in the bar below will cap out at 1000, and you can't numerically drag it any higher than that. Please fix this! 🙏I…

Kore 3
We need a Kore 3 release, it could be mostly like Kore 2 but with support for VST3 and CLAP. If you have to pick just one, go with CLAP. Yes, Native Instruments, we know you've already told us Kore is dead and you'll never bring it back. But VST2 itself is dying, it might become unavailable to DAW's, so what we're going to…

Why is the S88 MK3 limited to -1 Octave? (MK2 could do -2)
I'm really frustrated with a regression in the S88 MK3 design. On the MK2, we could shift down two octaves to reach the low keyswitches (C-2 area) commonly used in libraries like Spitfire and Shreddage. The MK3 has hard-locked the octave down button to -1 only. This makes those keyswitches inaccessible from the hardware.…

Is there a "hack" to add to the list of tools under Instant Processing?
I do a lot of clean up in my vinyl rips. At times, a quick selection and a click of Spectral Repair/Attenuate will do just fine. At other times, there are many instances where this works… more slowly. Can we hope to see an Instant Repair tool that is configurable beyond the delivered list by the end user? For instance, I'd…

User Library in Massive X
How come the user library in Massive X is quite bad. I wish I had the ability to organize presets in folders, but even when a couple of folders are created, Massive X just lists all the presets together, and yes I know there's the "Sound Type" and "Character" which is kinda fine, I just wish the library could be more…

Feature Request: Modern HiDPI / Resizable GUI for Supercharger GT
Supercharger GT remains a favorite of mine because of its character, simplicity, and sound quality. However, the plugin’s fixed‑size interface has become difficult to use on today’s high‑resolution displays (4K, 5K, Retina, ultrawide). A resizable or HiDPI‑aware GUI would dramatically improve usability and…

[Feature Request] Playlist Length Always in Minutes
Currently if the length of a playlist is longer than an hour, Traktor displays it as hours with decimals (e.g. 1.1 hours). As someone who regularly compiles and records radio shows in Traktor, that have to be a certain length this is quite annoying because with one decimal place it's quite inaccurate and also unintuitive.…

NI Session Pianoist [feature request]
NI session guitarists and bassists are very popular. In fact, session pianists will also be very popular. There are many different techniques for playing the piano, and they can play different types of music, such as pop, HIPHIP, DANCE, and FUNKY. So, is it possible for NI to launch a more popular session pianist? Are you…

Put NI RegFix tool into Native Access!

Session Percussionist no pitch control of single instrument (not group)

The only available pitch control is located in the mixer section, which affects the entire instrument globally. This creates a…

Performance Wheel Sticky Mode
For the Komplete Kontrol app and Kontakt, the S61 Mk3 performance wheel (the one beside the pitch bend) doesn't carry its value across to the next preset. If I have the wheel all the way up, when I go to the next preset it doesn't respect where the wheel is, until I tweak it again. Can you add a sticky mode that we can…
