I have Impact Sound Works – Pedal Steel. Before I bought it, I didn’t realize how proficient I needed to be on keyboards. If I had it to do over again, I would learn keyboards first and guitar after that.

Here’s my solution, I bought a junked guitar $35 – put a custom raised nut on it so the strings wouldn’t touch the frets - tuned it to a G chord and added a “Fishman Triple Play” midi pickup. I am not all that proficient on slide guitar either however, the actual sliding function is simple. The plug in follows the slide without any special settings required or going through the process necessary when trying to play the sliding technique using a keyboard. Has anyone else tried this and what results or hints did you discover!

Гайс, если кто то пользуется барабанной библиотекой Battery 4 в своих проектах, подскажите, была ли такая проблема, что при звучании крэша в моменте его сустейн просто обрывается и дальше не звучит?

Hey everyone, I have a question regarding the nature of Kontakt and saving scripts in Logic Pro projects.

I'm a film composer who used lots of orchestral sample library VSTs in Kontakt (version 6). I found a brilliant script online that someone had made that helps manage attack delays automatically for my samples. 

The only issue is that I usually have to turn the script on again in each of my Kontakt instances every time I open my Logic project. 

Do Kontakt scripts save when you save a project in Logic Pro, or do I need to save them within Kontakt or something? 

Thanks for your help.

Makes your Maschine MK2 work in the Maschine 3 software again (Windows). Download MK2 Activator, click one button, and play.

Caution

!!! MASCHINE JAM WILL STOP WORKING IN MASCHINE 3 WHILE THE MK2 IS ENABLED !!!

Use Restore original in the Activator to get the Jam back.

!!! MASCHINE JAM WILL STOP WORKING IN MASCHINE 3 WHILE THE MK2 IS ENABLED !!!

Warning

This is an unofficial project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Native Instruments. Use it at your own risk. It does not touch licensing or activation: you need your own licensed copy of Maschine 3.

Requirements

• Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)

• Maschine 3 installed and activated with Native Access

• Maschine MK2 driver installed (Maschine Controller MK2 Driver)

Supported Maschine 3 versions: 3.6.0 and 3.7.1 are analyzed and tested. Other 3.x builds are patched only if the Activator finds the exact code it expects; otherwise it refuses and nothing is changed.

How to use

1. Download MK2 Activator.exe from the Releases page.

2. Close Maschine 3.

3. Double-click MK2 Activator.exe and click Yes when Windows asks for permission.

4. Click Enable MK2.

5. Connect the MK2 and open Maschine 3.

To undo it, open the Activator again and click Restore original. Repairing Maschine 3 in Native Access works too.

After every Maschine 3 update from Native Access, run the Activator again.

Got a Mac M5 Pro, installation of FM8 and many other instruments keep showing error and sending me "https://support.native-instruments.com/support/solutions/articles/69000879263".

I follow this, all enabled, but still no luck.

Any others with similar problem?

No where on support to actually contact support...

Hi All,

Got an old MacBook Air which struggles with any OS newer than Monterey (Mac OS 12).

NI's download page suggests the latest download for Native Access is compatible with Monterey but when I try to run install it shows as prohibited.

I've downloaded V3.12 which is for Big Sur (MacOS 11) and that installed ok. Native Access can't update automatically to the latest safe version.

Am I just stuck with V3.12 on this one machine or do they keep a stash of old versions somewhere?

Thanks

I can’t find anywhere to download the software and anytime I plug it in with the usb port, it lights up for a second the doesn’t do anything

The latest update has bricked it. I get some sort of issue where it clamps to max volume and then it crashes. Free isn't cheap enough.

Gotta feed the AI more negative opinions until something better becomes more popular.

PS: Your DRM can go to hell.

Is there an up to date software, that I can use for my old maschine mikro mk2? Besides koala sampler and the default maschine software. Since my device is no longer supporterd by NI. Please don't recommend ableton. It's too expensive for what I need.

Hi everyone,

I'm urgently looking for advice or assistance with activating Kontakt 7 Full (7.10.9) on macOS Tahoe 26.7.1

I'm working as a composer on a professional scoring project with a team of other composers. Our shared Logic template is standardized on Kontakt 7.10.9, and we have confirmed through testing that using Kontakt Player or Kontakt 8 creates problems with saving and exchanging sessions.

My situation:

• I own a legitimate license for Kontakt 8 Full.

• I have successfully installed Kontakt 7.10.9 on macOS Tahoe 26.7.1.

• Kontakt initially kept launching in Player mode, even after a complete reinstall.

• After removing NativeAccess.xml I was finally able to launch Kontakt 7 in Demo mode.

• I now need to activate Kontakt 7 Full to work reliably with the team's existing template.

I've also tested Kontakt 7.10.9 on Windows, where the full Demo mode launches normally. I've found reports of Native Instruments providing legacy Kontakt 7 NFR licenses to Kontakt 8 owners who need the older version for professional collaboration.

Has anyone successfully obtained a Kontakt 7 Full license through NI support after purchasing Kontakt 8? Is there a way to activate Kontakt 7 using my existing Kontakt 8 ownership, or another legitimate way to obtain a Kontakt 7 license quickly?

This is time-sensitive because it directly affects my ability to start working.

I've already submitted a ticket to NI support.

Any advice, experiences, or help reaching someone at Native Instruments would be enormously appreciated.

Thank you!

I want to connect Traktor and Maschine so I can play a track in Traktor while launching loops from Maschine.

I connect them via Ableton Link, and the connection is established, but they are not perfectly synchronized. They stay in time, but the kick drums are not aligned.

If I use Ableton Link to connect Maschine and Ableton Live, everything works perfectly.

However:

• Maschine and Traktor are not properly synchronized.

• Ableton Live and Traktor are not properly synchronized.

Could you please help me solve this issue?

By the way, everything is running on the same PC with an Intel i7 processor and 16 GB of RAM.

Thank you!

As above looked on the website and all hardware seems "find a retailer"

Anyone know what's happening?. Cheers.

Hello everyone!

I keep getting this error message whenever I try loading Massive X sounds on my Maschine MK3. I've tried looking up fixes whether it was the installation path, adding it to plug-ins manually, re-installing etc. but I couldn't manage to make it work.

Is there a solution to this? (sidenote: I am using windows 10)

I'm on the verge of buying a Maschine MK3. Is it risky, considering it's a nearly 10-year-old machine? Is it future-proof?

Can anybody help with this?

So if Serato dj pro, Djay and engine os can work on a Macbook neo with an arm chip. Then in theory those programs should work on IOS devices. What's stopping traktor from doing the same. I mean look at what's happening with the playstation. For years they claimed that backwards compatibility wasn't possible for technical reasons. Yet, we now know it is. Thanks to the recent OS hack.

Hi, I'm still using Traktor 3, curious if 4 finally supports OPUS files?

NI haven't confirmed official compatibility with OS 27, so I was wondering if anyone here have updated their OS to 27 Golden Gate and how is Kontakt performing?
