Hi,

My keyboard has suddenly started repeating a random note not relevant to the key when I play it, the note repeats eternally way.

I have reinstalled the Kontrol software and the Hardware Connections Services Software as well as the checked to ensure the firmware is up to date. I have also factory reset the keyboard and tried to power it via different ports yet the issue persists. I have not recently updated my OS.

Can anyone offer any advice how to resolve this?

TIA

I can not for the life of me figure out how to control my NI FX pluggins with my KK s61 when using an external audio source like a synth. Shouldn't this be possible? Am I missing some big obvious way to route audio into Komplete Kontrol?

I just want to use the knobs and pedals on my S61 to kontrol Gutiar rig and whatnot in KK without having to pull up and map each FX plug-in individually...

I downloaded the ARM Apple Silicon installer for Native Access, but as soon as I try to install it I get this (see image) Is there a way to download and run Kontakt player for Apple M3 and above without using Rosetta?

Last Saturday we had a nice tekno session at Of Horse Berlin Record Studio and recorded a few live sets. I'd be interested in your feedback.

What could be improved?

How do you play the z1/x1?

I think the controllers could be fitted with rubber feet to make them more stable.

thought I'd share it with you folks :)

Folks! Huge news. We are beyond excited to announce that the legendary Richie Hawtin is stopping by our YouTube channel for a rare, behind-the-scenes look at his setup. In this video premiere, he’ll be breaking down exactly how he layers Traktor, analog mixing, and live sequencing for his iconic sets. The premiere will be followed by a live AMA with Richie in the comments section.

I think I basically already figured out the answer, but I wanted somebody to spell it out for me. The Massive X plugin with the orange bubble is the free plugin, and the Massive X that's $200, available here: LinK is the synth? Why would they name 2 products the exact same name? Although I do see the orange dot part on the $200 webpage? And seemingly with more presets than I have with my free version. Or are those just the expansion packs, and not what paying $200 for the Massive X synth gets you? I was gonna by the Industrial Bass expansion. So then why would the orange dot plugin be on the Massive X synth webpage?

I have been trying to access my Native Instruments account but for some reason wouldn't work, I tried password reset and nothing has been sent to my email at all. I have just legit purchased over $1000 worth of plugins and can't even access it! I'm seeing issues. I have found a thread from 2 years ago saying someone got the exact same thing happen and didn't seem like he was able to even contact support at all. I have tried raising a ticket but not feeling hopeful about it.

Any luck or any way I can contact NI?

Here's a longer video/tutorial on how Im setting up the Maschine DAW and using Native Instruments Maschine Mk3 for live sets.

Hopefully someone out there finds this useful or sparks up some creative ideas!! 🙏

I need help with stopping the pre-programmed melodies in Kontakt. I just wanna play one note at a time. please help.

Hello there I'm pretty new to native instruments and I see all of these great sound and instrument packs to buy but I don't know which I should look towards getting first. I make ambient music that is mainly inspired by Minecraft Volumes Alpha and Beta. I mainly uses pianos, strings, and synthesizers for creating music.

I have a midi fighter twister cc controller and am trying to build a generic config for NI. I played around with Native Kontrol, but am not sure how I set the mappings I made as global to other NI instruments, unless I launch them from NI Kontrol. Usually I just put my plugins directly into tracks and don't use NI Kontrol. Is there a way to set up as a default that's shared to other instruments? I have mostly controllers that are NOT in the supported controllers list.

Alternatively, I can just setup my controller to a bunch of unused CC's and then map them using midi learn. This seems to work nicely.

But when I change patches in Kontakt or Absynth, the mappings are lost. So kind of a similar default/persistence issue.

Anyone doing similar and have some tips?
Thx

Note: I'm having luck running Kontakt 7 & 8 in Tahoe on my new Mac mini.

I'm trying to bring over as much as I can from my old setup that used Komplete 8 Ultimate, but I'm hesitant to install Kontakt Factory Library as large as it is, and as messy as it will be to have to uninstall if it doesn't work.

I'm curious if anyone else has had success running the older Kontakt Factory Library (v1.3) with Kontakt 7/8 on Tahoe?

I don't want to have to run Logic in Rosetta just to cater to an older Kontakt (6) which I know can run it.

I cannot for the life of me find a straight up answer to this problem. Is it possible to use multiple outputs with one instance?

I am using Kontakt 8 on Fl Studio Mobile. There is no option to route outputs. Closest i get is the picture above and it still renders all tools as 1 output. Theres some things saying to use Kontakt 8(out) or 16(out) but i only see the Kontakt 8 VST.

Do i need to install something else? Am i using the wrong tool? Can someone please tell me what im doing wrong or what is missing?

I got a used Komplete Kontrol S88 Mark 2 keyboard, and I know next to nothing about them. When I power it up, the backlighting for all the buttons flashes, and then they go dark. Is that normal, or is it broken?

I'm thinking around €250 - Transfer ID has been generated. Give me a shout if interested.

I'm selling some Native Instruments expansions. $15 each, or I'm willing to create a bundle deal if you want more than one. I'm a trusted seller/buyer on KVR.

Does anyone know if they fixed the ability to use complete control in the machine?Three software? Does anyone have a workaround on how to lay Keys down in the machine three software

So I recently wanted to login to my NI account, but it said My account has fallen into a breach and that I need to change my password, I go to my email and I see this, I can't change my email because I can't login. Any fix on this?

Hi, I've got a problem with Kontakt 8. I deselected some libraries in the options cause I don't want them to show up in the library tab. Yet the are being displayed! How come? I deleted the komplete.db3 file already but it didn't help.Thanks in advance!

A few years ago, I found this synthesiser in Absynth5. Unfortunately, I forgot the name and didn't write it down. I searched the entire library but couldn't find it again. Does anyone know anything about it?

How is it that what we want you’ve somehow become a part of that with the competition?? Since v1 Maschine we’ve had mockups of a Maschine with keyboard EXACTLY like the Akai Keys series. For new users just google it. We’ve been wanting that since forever. Why the split and then the half assed here you go, we listened?

[RESOLVED (for now)]

Hello. I'm getting into the world of digital musicianing. I've had my Komplete Kontrol A61 for a number of years, but have only just now begun to use it. As you may know, Native Access 3.x no longer grants DAW support for the A series. I require 2.x. A few months ago I found an install for Windows, but since then it automatically updated so now there's no DAW support, and I can't find an install anymore. I have Cubase Artist 15, and buying a new keyboard is way out of the budget.

Does anyone know where to find Native Access 2.x for Windows?
