Komplete UI is blacked out in Cubase 14
Hello, I've seen threads about this elsewhere, but not as it relates to Cubase 14. Anybody know why Komplete's UI is blacked out after installing Cubase 14? I followed the possible fixes in other threads and nothing worked. Also, it blacks out for some VIs and not others. I did not have this issue at all in Cubase 13. I'm…
Battery 4 not showing in Cubase
Hi. I'm new here and quite a noob in music production. I use Cubase 13 and I downloaded the DEMO version of Battery 4, but I can only open it in stand alone mode. When I try to open it as an instrument in my DAW, it is not there as an option. It is installed in the same file directory as the other NI instruments. Also, I…
Maschine Mikro MK3 as a MIDI and transport controller in Cubase at the same time
Hi, can the 2 following things be used at the same time: I am interested to buy Maschine Mikro MK3 because of great pads, to use it to trigger VST drum programs loaded as plugins in Cubase and to also be able to use Maschine Mikro's transport buttons (Play, Rec, Stop, Restart Loop, Erase Replace, Tap Metro) to control…
Cubase 14 not seeing Kontakt 8
I bought the upgrade to kontakt 8 today and cubase 14 won't see it. I uninstalled and reinstalled. Rebooted my computer and nothing helps. Anyone have any idea how to get it to work? Thanks
Komplete Krashtroll on Cubase 13 / Sequoia / M1 Pro
Hi, I'm using Komplete Kontrol in C13 on an M1 Pro Mac running Sequoia, and frequently get crashes when I close KK windows. I've tried reinstalling KK (following steps on the NI website w/ com.plists and json) to no avail. Aside from never opening/closing such windows, has anyone figured out a fix for this? Thanks for any…
Using Maschine Mikro mk2 to trigger audio tracks in Cubase 13?
Hi. I bought a Maschine Mikro to hopefully use as a pad controller to assign audio from beats I make in Cubase 13, so I can play my beats on pads. Can this be done? How? Thanks
Kontakt: Imported Cubase template, how to set location of loaded library ?
I got a Cubase template from someone recently. For many tracks, Kontakt shows a library loaded but the interface isn't loaded properly and there is no sound (no samples found, etc.). I don't know why some of these libraries are not loading correctly. One thing I see in the Kontakt backend is that the samples have a…
old Cubase project and NI
Hi I wrote a track about 14 years ago and I wanted to remix it for 2024. However, we had some major changes with regards to the architecture and Cubase no longer supports 32bit plug-in unless you are on a 32bit system. To reap the benefits of a 64bit system, I moved with the times. This produced a problem where by plug-ins…
Kontrol S88 MK3 - Transport Controls sending unwanted CC messages
Hello, I am running into an issue where my S88 mk3 is sending CC messages when using the keyboard's transport controls (ex. METRO button sends CC 23 with a value of 1, PLAY sends CC 16, STOP sends CC 20). This is causing issues on virtual instruments tracks where the loaded instruments respond to those CCs. I have tried…
Komplete and/or Kontakt 8 Memory Leak?
Using the latest version of Kontakt 8 / Komplete Kontrol 3 I'm finding that Cubase 13 will, upon being left alone, spike RAM usage all the way up to 125GB or so and then crash. This particular session only has about 50-60GB worth of samples loaded into it. Anyone else seeing this?
Komplete MK2 s88 Keyboard Recognition in Cubase
S88 keyboard not being recognised in Cubase, using Komplete Kontrol and as a controller. Even when recognised the keyboard plays sounds in the samples but the keyboard in the sample does not show any notes being pressed. On occasion, the sample loaded in Cubase and no activity from the keyboard, and no sound was generated,…

A Few Maschine Pre-Sale Questions
I'm not yet decided on the + vs MK3, so these questions are for both. Most/all are software based any way. When connected to a computer and run as a plugin, is the + identical to the MK3? Do Komplete Kontrol virtual instrument user presets translate to Maschine? I have a bunch of NKS multi-output drum/percussion user…

Analog dreams and such don't work anymore
So I've got Kontakt 6 and some time ago I updated Analog dreams, Ethereal Earth and Hybrid keys to the latest versions. Then I found out those versions (2.1.1) are for kontakt 7. I found a topic where is explained that I need to reinstall the previous version (2.0.3) and NI moderator provided a link to some zip files with…

Komplete Kontrol Crashes Cubase 12/13
Hi all, I've not been able to find a post covering this issue, so here it is: Since this summer, I've not been able to create more than one Komplete Kontrol instrument track like I have for the past number of years without the second one crashing Cubase. More than one Kontakt instrument track works fine, as do other VSTs.…
Raum update reset all the VST settings
Hi, So I just updated Native Access to update a few of my VST plugins, including Raum. When I reopened a project that uses Raum, I noticed the in-plugin settings have been completely reset to the default state. I use this plugin in all of my projects and it seems weird that it would ever be normal to reset the settings of…

Bite, Dirt, Freak & Raum Locking Up DAW - Anyone else experiencing this?

Question about 'Import Content' GUI/Kontakt 7 issues & features
Hi, I believe this hadn't been emphasized enough, but I've got some serious personal issues with how you decided to handle the Import Content section of Kontakt, and i'm shocked that this was not addressed (unless it was in Kontakt 8, but for now I see no point paying for such irrelevant upgrade compared to the state of…
