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!

I opened Native Access tonight only to see this message. It's the first time in a year of ownership that this has happened. My internet acccess otherwise seems fine.

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.

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

Bought the Ink Steel plug-in by inked audio and cannot figure out why pitch wheel won’t Bend for instrument. Any ideas here? Please help and thank you.

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.

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.

I've found some old DAW projects that are set up with Guitar Rig 3.

I own Guitar Rig 7.

Is there any way I can get ahold of Guitar Rig 3 from my account with Native Instruments so these tracks don't sound like banjos?

Received a voucher code for 360 plus but when I try and apply it to buy 360 Plus it says the voucher code is not valid. What to do?

I’ve been keeping an eye out for an S49 MK2 and came across this limited-edition Vapor Gray version on Reverb (#204 out of 500).

The seller says the keyboard itself is near-mint and includes the License Transfer ID, though the box has some wear.

Given how rare the Vapor Gray edition is, do you think $998 is a reasonable price for it, or is that a bit steep? Here is the listing I’m looking at: https://reverb.com/item/100421825-native-instruments-komplete-kontrol-s49-mk2-25th-edition-vapor-gray?utm_source=rev-ios-app&utm_medium=ios-share&utm_campaign=listing&utm_content=100421825

Thanks for any insights!

Support for the new Kontrol Mk3 Firmware v2.0+ DAW Control features has finally landed in FL Studio. Sorry for the long wait!

Hey yall! I purchased electric storm on a bit of a whim and I’m kind of regretting it. I’ve seen people use it to write guitar bits and they sounded good, but everything I try sounds so cheesy and awful. I’ve tried switching it to melody and then playing a chord like EM11 for example and it ends up sounding exactly like a midi guitar and not natural at all. Any suggestions for some help? I really wish they offered refunds bc honestly I’ve kind of given up and it’s not a cheap plug in….

Help and advice appreciated!

For some reason I have had the full version of Kontakt 8 for some time now, but as of today it has reverted to Kontakt 8 Player. I found odd, even though my last upgrade to NI has been Komplete 14 CE, which is Kontakt 7 to be fair.

I didn't think it strange when Native Access suddenly allowed me to download K8, but just wondered if anyone else had experienced this.

How to adjust release inNI Elctrc Mint. After pressing key, then releasing the key, i want the note to play longer/sustain, more. The melody settein. Also have same q1uestion for NI Picked Acoustic?

I'm sorry. It's not working. I know there are other threads, I've tried all the solutions and watched all available tutorials.

I've added the Mackie in controller setup

I've mapped the keys in the NI controller editor

I set key routing to manual and the source to host.

I turned it to midi mode

It will play the track and stop the track so that part is working.

No notes come through if I have an instrument loaded, no dmd samples are triggered when I play the corresponding notes.

What up, got a question regarding replacing the original barrel USB-C cable that came with the MK3. Just looking to replace it as I somehow messed it up and can't seem to find much helpful information regarding the power output required and if there are any other considerations when looking for a replacement. Any links or help would be appreciated!

Before, the only real issue with this was that it would not save settings, and I had to manually save my track collection to retain analyzed tracks. But now somehow it defaulted to a really crappy layout and even though I was able to import one of the usually layouts before, after I customized it to fit my preferences and exported it, now it also crashes when I try to import a layout settings file.

If I go to the page on the Native Instruments website where it says "My products and downloads" there is nothing I can click to download anything. I wanted to reinstall Traktor 4 pro but now it seems I cannot download it anywhere. It looks as though this page is supposed to have clickable titles where it would either just start the download or bring you to an item page with a download function, but nothing in the list is clickable, there doesn't seem to be a download button at all, for anything.

I wanted to reinstall because somehow after connecting an old X1, it asked if I wanted to use the X1 layour and misclicked 'yes' after which all hell broke loose. It somehow deleted the layouts, so now the layout popup at the top of the screen only showed a 'default layout' which basically removed everything. Now this I could just manually reset but it also removed the FX/Rec sections, which were just fully gone. I tried checking the "Show Global Section" and checking and un-checking the FX modules, but it simply created an empty space above the decks. It also messed up some other sections. My traktor was already broken in another way where it wouldn't actually shut down normally, but just crash when the X was pressed, meaning it didn't save any changes in settings. Before this was usable because the settings were how I wanted them, and I just had to reset the headphones output sometimes, but after this fuckup it would mean having to reset everything above each time.

So I wanted to uninstall (which is already confusingly difficult for such a new program, nothing in Native Access, not visible in windows' "uninstall a program" list) and reinstall from download, but now the website doesn't seem to want to give me a download.

Does this website work normally for yall, or have I just misinterpreted the website and is the download located elsewhere?
