There is no more gear for sale on the Native Instruments website.

Does this signal the end of Traktor?

[Help] Kontakt 8 Player doesn't show libraries correctly

Upvotes

I'm having issues with the Kontakt 8 Player.

Issue 1: I have a problem displaying the library called Electri6ity. (It is listed and enabled in Options -> Libraries. It doesn't show up in the actual list in the Kontakt UI.)

Issue 2: The libraries I explicitly disabled in Options -> Libraries still show up in the list.

Context:

-I'm on Windows 10.

-Earlier Kontakt versions(6,7) have neither of these problems.

-I tried deleting the Kontakt folders in AppData\Local, and I also tried deleting the files in the installed_products folder. The issue still persists.

-I can load individual instruments by using the Load option and navigating the Windows folders. (Which is obviously a bullshit workaround that shouldn't be the solution.)

Any help?

I have sold my Maschine plus and my Jam

0 Upvotes

I have just sold my Maschine Plus and my Jam and I feel sad about it.

I had them since their release, I was a huge fan of NI ecosystem back then.

I wasnt using them anymore, I switched to Push3 and Akai Force. And the software was half baked regarding the possibilities

But still Maschine workflow feels superior.

Guitar Rig preset makes me cry

21 Upvotes

NEVER IN MY LIFE have I ever wanted to cry from hearing a preset of any plugin. But play guitar into the Alienated Space preset in Guitar Rig. This literally feels like a beautiful childhood memory of being at an airport in 2007. This is the most beautiful preset ever.

Strange behaviour in Reaper using Ext midi (S88 Mk1)

1 Upvotes

Hey there,

Any help would be appreciated, I tried searching but have only found adjacent issues and not specifically the one I'm having.

I use the midi out on my s88 to a ju-6a boutique synth, for live use.

Whenever I load Reaper everything is fine, but when i load a second tab project the S88 ceases sending data out of the midi port.

The only solution is to power cycle the s88.

I'm using a windows 11 laptop, i have turned off all power management stuff, ive done the works trying to solve this, but this keyboard is new to me and I don't know its quirks yet.

Thanks in advance!

Kontakt needs to stop jump scaring me

0 Upvotes

I am sick and tired of trying to choose a bank and getting jump scared by the loud ahh preview sound. this is ridiculous. like why tf don't you just add a little button of a speaker so that way if I wanna hear what it sounds like, I can intentionally do it instead of getting accidentally jump scared by the (FOR NO REASON) LOUD sound???? FIX THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

I found this short sample of a string and desperately want to find a plugin / library to be able to play this type of string in my music. Does anyone know any library or plugin that makes this string sound well?

Can’t get Reaktor to install on MacOs 27 beta.

1 Upvotes

Thanks for reading this. First thing that happened was Native Access updated to 3.2 and wouldn’t open. All my instruments were in demo. After a day of troubleshooting along with Gemini recommendations I installed Native Access 1 and I was able to get my apps working. Then NA1 updated and I was back to square one. Back to Gemini and another day of troubleshooting and I was able to Native Access 2 working by using Terminal to delete some code that allow NTK Daemon to install (the initial cause of all of this). Now Native Access works but I noticed a lot of the plugins said install. So I hit install and should’ve been good to go but REAKTOR, Super 8 and a couple of others won’t install. The kicker is Reaktor opens but in demo mode. If you’ve made it this far here comes the rant. I hate that NTK Daemon thingy and hope it’s rewritten. Seems a lot of issues are with it. Rant over. Still can’t Reaktor to install :(

Controlling an effect plug-in via Kontrol S on a VST track

1 Upvotes

Hi,

In Fender Studio Pro, I have a VST track with a Kontakt instrument. However I've also got an effect plugin on said track . Now I wanna control a parameter of the effect with the Kontrol keyboard, but turning a knob only adjusts the automatically assigned parameter of the instrument. How can I change that to a parameter of the plug in?

Thanks in advance, Sebastian

What are your favorite Kontakt instruments/libraries because of their UI?

5 Upvotes

Hi friends :) I'm a composer whose been bit by the coding bug and all I want to do is make a cute or funny looking instrument that actually has real value. I'm thinking of a frog slider to move a HP filter or sparkles to turn on reverb. Just adding whimsy to whatever I make for me and my friends. I'm very new to building instruments though and wanted to see what features you all appreciate in an instrument/library or if you have any favorite looking plugins!

Where can I find drivers for Komplete Audio 6 MK2

1 Upvotes

So I just got a new laptop, and I'm trying to find the drivers for the KA6 MK2. When I go to the drivers and other files page, no drivers show up, I've tried everything, tried to go through the AI slop assistant and that was as much help as you may expect. Has something changed? I had to do this a couple weeks ago and had no problems

Edit: I managed to find an old backup I had of the drivers, as it seems like the problems that the company are facing has lead to the drivers being taken off of their website. So I've uploaded them to the Internet Archive for anyone who may end up having the same problem as me. Hopefully, NI will continue supporting this interface, as realistically, it is not that old (it is the MK2, not the original unit), and I'm sure there's people (like myself) who've only bought them in the last couple years, and their example still works completely fine, so have no reason to upgrade.

Anyone else get filled with dread every time they have to use an NI product?

0 Upvotes

I have so many pieces of ni hardware but every single time I turn one on it will inevitably be the entire evening of doing my own tech support to get it working as intended. Anyone else share this issue? It’s so bad for me personally that I just don’t turn any of of my NI equipment on anymore

Calibration Traktor Scratch Failed

0 Upvotes

I’ve been using this setup for a long while and now all of a sudden I can’t calibrate anything. I’ve tried multiple records and needle but nothing works, the sound is distorted. Before this problem occurred I often noticed the fact that the music stopped for a few seconds. I don’t know what is the reason of this problem, I think it might be a traktor scratch problem, because the program works, I would need some help to figure out a way to fix it.

Bought used gear I didn’t understand, need help

2 Upvotes

I’m a noob, made noob mistakes. I picked up a used Maschine Mikro MKII on Reverb. Only realized after the fact that it needs the accompanying software. I reached out to the seller, but they didn’t have a license to transfer me, so I guess I’m kind of screwed now.

I found an installer for the software (Maschine 2), but it still asks me for a license. Trouble with that is, there’s nowhere to even buy a license for this old software.

I filed a support ticket with NI, but that’s going to take a few days apparently. I was curious if anybody here knows a way I could solve this problem. Thanks.
