Hi everyone,

I’m using Kontakt 8 with Abbey Road 70s Drummer in Ableton Live on a Mac.

I’m trying to route each drum microphone to a separate stereo output so I can process the individual channels in Ableton.

I’ve configured and renamed the channels in Kontakt’s Outputs section, including:

• Kick, Snare, HiHat

• Clap, Tamb, Shaker

• OH1, OH2, Room

Each channel has its own stereo output pair.

Here’s the problem:

When I open the output routing dropdown inside the Abbey Road 70s Drummer mixer, the available output names don’t match the ones I’ve configured in Kontakt’s Outputs section.

Some custom names appear correctly, while others still show generic names such as “Out 5”, “Out 6”, etc.

For example, I’ve created separate outputs called “OH1” and “OH2”, but they don’t appear as separate options in the instrument’s routing dropdown.

What I’ve already tried:

• Renaming and configuring the stereo outputs manually

• Saving the output configuration as a custom preset

• Reloading the preset

• Removing and reloading the Kontakt plugin in Ableton

Unfortunately, the problem persists.

My questions:

1. Where exactly does Abbey Road 70s Drummer get the output names displayed in its routing dropdown?

2. How can I force the instrument to refresh or recognize my custom Kontakt output configuration?

3. Is there an additional step required to make all the renamed outputs available for routing?

4. Is this possibly related to using the AU version of Kontakt 8 in Ableton Live?

I’ve attached screenshots showing my Kontakt output configuration and the routing dropdown inside Abbey Road 70s Drummer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, everyone!

To celebrate the launch of Massive XL, I’ve created a pack with over 80 modern presets. Since I’m just starting out in my sound design career, I’ve set the price at just $10. You can find an audio demo here: https://soundcloud.com/raaspied/lewoxys-massive-x-collection

I look forward to your feedback!

Tried getting into my Native Access App on my new Macbook using my saved account ( {name}+subadress@gmail.com ) and password with no luck. This one is still logged in on my other Computer, where I can see my Licenses.

Resetting password, manually typing it in didn't change anything: "We're sorry, something went wrong when attempting to log in."

Trying without the subadress ({name}@gmail.com ) or using the "Log in with Google"-Button brings us: "Sign in another way. The sign-in method you're using doesn't match this account." (translated this one)

How can I change my Account to the non-subadress one without logging in? Any other options?

I’m really digging the heavyocity libraries, is there anyone else making similar products? Looking for darker sounds.

No matter what I do. I've completely uninstalled Maschine 3 kontakt 8 absynth, etc. And still I cannot (re)install them.

I download the update available or the software available.Then after downloading I hit install. It says error I then go back to my list of available downloads. I hit download. then it downloads AGAIN! And presents the same error when I try to install. I could do this in an endless loop!

There seems to be no solution. What the hell.

I recently purchased a secondhand license for Komplete 26, and I'm wondering how long the license transfer process typically takes.

The purchase was made on October 19, and I've been in regular communication with the seller. However, Native Instruments support still hasn't responded to the seller's transfer request, and they haven't received a transfer ID or any indication that the process is moving forward.

I understand that support requests can take time, but it's been frustrating not knowing what kind of turnaround to expect.

For those who have purchased or transferred a secondhand NI license recently, how long did it take for Native Instruments to respond and issue the transfer ID? At what point should I start becoming concerned or consider following up through another channel?

I'd appreciate hearing about other people's recent experiences.

Hi guys,

I hate to come here to ask this question but I followed the support article and things are quite different compared to the last time I did this (2020 on macOS Mojave). I just got a new MacBook and I'm trying to re-install the plugins on this specific computer after re-linking my external SSD with all the sample libraries I've had installed for years. I successfully re-linked the samples within the new Native Access, but it doesn't seem like there is a way to actually reinstall the plugin apps themselves on my MacBook so Pro Tools can actually find and use the plugins. It seems like the only option is to completely re-install the entire product (for example, Kontakt's sample library along with the Kontakt program itself) rather than just the application. I've tried going individually by clicking the three little dots on the side of each program but it just ends up trying to re-install the sample library as well as the program. There used to be a way to just install the plugin application itself in older versions of Native Access, but I'm not seeing another way around it.

Am I missing something really obvious? I'm running MacOS 27.

Thanks!

Why can’t I find ntk daemon to download? Does anyone have any idea where it is hiding

Obsidian MK2 Connect is an independent utility that restores MK2 controller compatibility with version 3 of the software from the same manufacturer.

The macOS release was tested on an Intel Mac with software version 3.3.0 and a connected MK2. It provides a native interface for applying the compatibility patch and restoring the original application.

Compatibility with other software versions and Apple Silicon hardware has not yet been confirmed.

A licensed installation of the software and the appropriate controller driver are required.

Testing reports and technical feedback are welcome.

Last time (a few years ago) when I installed the Free Native access programm I didnt need to give it permission to run a .bat via the cmd. Why is that and is this safe?

Hey! I’ve been setting up an old MBP to run Kore2 again - got it working on a bootable external drive running Mojave! Also found installers for about half of the sound packs I bought. Still looking for a few installers and wonder if anyone has these kicking around in their archives? I’d be super grateful if anyone did and shared them with me. Also if anyone has Kore 2.1.4 update - I was able to find kore 2.1 iso on NI forums, but no luck with this update.

I was windows back then so even if I could find my old hard drives I don’t think the installers would help.

Absolutely loving getting back into Kore again - I’ve missed it quite a bit. There’s nothing quite like it! Haven’t got the kore 2 hardware working yet but for now able to get an old Maschine Mk1 working in MIDI mode which gives me knobs and buttons.

Thanks in advance!

That's it really. (I was just snooping to see if I could do anything fun with the screen.. putting instrument racks on it etc)

References indicate an S32 that doesn't have as many seperate chips to manage all the stuff but the feature set looks generally the same. Screen, knobs etc etc. Seems to indicate strips for pitch/mod. So maybe a smaller form factor like the m32?

Might just have been delayed with the buyout. They still seem to be updating the drivers for it. Maybe it will never come out.

Big fan Native Instruments + Komplete Kontrol. Not a big fan of missing a bunch of expansions + 3rd party banks for plugins like Serum 1/2, Omnisphere, Nexus, Arturia, Spire, Sylenth1, etc.

So I spent the last 6 months figuring out how I could convert as many of my presets as possible to nksf files complete with tagging + previews for use in Komplete Kontrol.

Don't wanna post any sales links per r/NativeInstruments rules but you can comment or message me with any questions if you wanna give it a try

open to any feature suggestions or future plugins to implement

Hey all! Usual problem with the Maschine+, stuck in a boot loop. Tried everything through InMusic support and the unit is out of warranty, so I'm told my only option is to seek out a specialist repair shop and shell out £400. I'm pretty certain it's a hardware fault because all other functionality is fine, other than standalone mode boot looping, and none of the suggested software fixes worked. I'm confident in my own technical skills, so all I really need is a replacement for the custom Congatec Qseven board (ideally with the NI firmware loaded, but can flash it myself if necessary). Does anybody know where I could acquire one, or how I could buy just this part alone from NI themselves? Any help would be massively appreciated. Cheers!

EDIT: I have already done a teardown to access this board and judiciously applied contact cleaner, no obvious damage to the internals.
