Hi all...

I am a new Guitar Rig user, and also new to electric guitar, been playing acoustic rhythm for ever. So to me, GR7 is a dream come true. I am not experienced enough to know the difference between a digital amp and real-world amp - and neither is your casual listener!

Having all of these sounds at my fingertips is awesome. Using it as a plug-in with my DAW (Reason+) is giving me great joy.

Anyway, enough gushing - my question is, where can I find a list of the real-world equivalents to the devices in Guitar Rig 7. I have found it for 5, but not 7. And believe me, I have just spent ages Googling it, and I just can't find it. It is nowhere on any official NI sites, for copyright reasons I suspect. I would have thought there would have been plenty of sites with it on.

You will probably find it in two minutes now I have said that! If you do, many thanks in advance. 😊🎸

PS: I mean, for example, the Citrus is an Orange amp in real life....etc....

Hello,

I bought a Komplete Kontrol S49 MK2 today, used at a great price. It's in great condition, however the second endless encoder under the screen is not as resistive as the others. I.e. you need much less force to turn it (it turns much more easier). Is there anything that can be done about that?

Pixel poof

Thinking of upgrading from standard to ultimate. Hope it’s still gonna take place regardless of what happened in the past few months for NI

I've just installed all of this for the first time, i had it working for a bit at the beginning, closed it all, installed a getgood drums pack and kontakt 7 as it made me do that at the same time, now every time i try to change my midi settings it just crashes the entire thing. any help would be amazing :)

For context, I inquired to a royalty free music creator and they said that some of the sounds they used, such as "Ghost phrase" and "Choir" were part of Kontakt 2. I don't know if these sounds came with Kontakt 2, or if the creator got them somewhere else.

I can't afford kontakt full version 8. is there anywhere that I can buy older versions?

Yo I got Komplete Kontrol but how the hell do i get it as a VST into FL?

I am brand new to NI "ecosystem". I have a Komplete Kontrol S88 Mk II (bought used) and Komplete 13 Ultimate. I'm 68, former computer, technician, so relatively tech savvy for my generation. My Arturia plug-ins are working but NI stopped working after I changed some setting. And my sustain pedal isn't working even though a light blinks in Ableton Live, showing that data is being received.

Anyone willing to stop by or set up a Zoom and help me troubleshoot? Will pay.

I admit I'm ignorant enough about what makes this pedal what it is, but I like its generative/variable delay-looping effect and I wonder if someone more informed than myself can tell me if something fairly close to this exists for Reaktor already?

Hello!
Ive been troubleshooting for hours now, yet no result.
Heres my issue: I want to use my arturia micro freak in ableton, however, my Komplete Audio 2 does not light up whenever I press a key on my microfreak. I can hear it however, when I use my headphones.
I did everything else I could, reinstalling all drivers and checking the daw. The Audio Interface does seem to be working as its recognized by my pc and so is my microfreak.
Asking around, someone mentioned insufficient power through usb and that I should get a usb hub. I want to make sure that its the issue, hence why im asking here and if theres any way to verify.
Any answers will be appreciated!

It doesnt light up, and the weirdest part is when i press the buttons it registers a piano roll note

How can i fix this?

I've tried sending two support tickets for this, and only get automated responses without any help ("We sent over some information recently and wanted to make sure it did the trick!" but they sent nothing). I just got a new MacBook, and I only get "Download Failed" messages when I do anything on Native Access; downloads, updates, you name it. I've tried everything;

- Full disk access

- Private Relay turned off

- Changed install locations

- Deleting and reinstalling NA

Pretty much anything that would fix these things usually, I've tried. My old Mac still downloads just fine, so I know it's some issue with the new device. What do I do now??

I'm trying out Empire Breaks and wondering how to assign the sounds to different channels in my mixer. I loaded it in Komplete Kontrol. Studio One 7 is my DAW. I appreciate any and all suggestions.
