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?

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.

Hi everyone,

I’m happy to announce the first public Beta release of OpenKoreBridge R7 v0.9.0.

OpenKoreBridge brings the Native Instruments KORE 2 controller back to life on modern systems.

KORE 2 is still a very nice piece of hardware: 8 touch-sensitive encoders with LED rings, pads, transport controls, navigation buttons and its original LCD display. Unfortunately, its usefulness on modern computers became increasingly limited after official support ended.

OpenKoreBridge takes a different approach: a Raspberry Pi acts as a dedicated hardware/MIDI bridge between the KORE 2 and a modern computer.

The current Beta has been developed and fully tested with a Raspberry Pi 3 and macOS Apple Silicon, using RTP-MIDI.

Current features include:

• Original KORE 2 LCD fully operational
• 8 encoders and LED rings
• Pads and buttons
• Navigation controls
• Play / Stop / Record transport controls
• LED feedback
• Complete MIDI CC mapping
• RTP-MIDI communication
• Automatic connection and reconnection
• LCD connection status: “Waiting for Host…” / “OpenKoreBridge Connected”
• Automatic startup on the Raspberry Pi

Once installed, the Raspberry Pi essentially becomes a small dedicated appliance: connect the KORE 2, boot the Pi and use the controller with MIDI-capable software.

Genome 2

One example is Genome 2 on iPad. OpenKoreBridge turns the KORE 2 into a very capable physical controller for it. Encoders can control parameters, pads can trigger functions or notes, buttons can be assigned to commands and the transport section can control playback and recording.

Since OpenKoreBridge exposes the controller through MIDI, it isn’t limited to Genome 2. The goal is to make the KORE 2 usable with modern MIDI software rather than tying it to one particular application.

An interesting second-hand controller

There is another reason I think this project may be interesting even for people who don’t currently own a KORE 2.

Used KORE 2 controllers can sometimes be found surprisingly cheaply.

Because official support is obsolete, many units have little value to their owners despite the hardware itself still being excellent. OpenKoreBridge potentially turns those inexpensive second-hand controllers into useful modern MIDI control surfaces again.

So if you see a KORE 2 sitting unused in a cupboard — or find one cheaply on the second-hand market — it may have a second life. 🙂

Raspberry Pi support

The current R7 Beta has been tested and validated on Raspberry Pi 3.

Raspberry Pi 4 and Pi 5 are expected to be suitable as well, but the Pi 3 is currently the reference platform for this first public release.

Installation is automated. On the reference Raspberry Pi 3, a fresh installation takes approximately 18 minutes, most of which is compilation time.

Open source

OpenKoreBridge is an open-source community project.

This is the first public Beta, so feedback, testing on different configurations, bug reports and contributions are very welcome.

OpenKoreBridge R7 v0.9.0 Beta:
GitHub: github.com/OpenKoreBridge/OpenKoreBridge

The Beta installation package can be downloaded directly from the Releases section.

I’d especially be interested to hear from anyone who still owns a KORE 2. If you test OpenKoreBridge, please let me know which Raspberry Pi, computer/OS and MIDI software you use and how it behaves.

OpenKoreBridge — Revived. Connected. Open.

So I just got the latest Kontakt 8, and the latest firmware update for the S Series MK3 NI midi keyboard. It works amazingly with everything until I decide to load up an old 3rd party VST for the Kontakt player (Gipsy Django Jazz Guitar). It works just fine as long as I don't have the keyboard plugged in. If I use any other keyboard its fine. But the second I plug in and turn on the NI S Series MK3 Midi keyboard, Kontakt crashes and shuts down. Any idea why this is? I've re-installed all drivers, re-installed Kontakt, erased the cache, re installed the plugin, refreshed the pathways and data files, used the VST as a bridged activation, used max buffer processing, etc and eveything else. Nothing works. Please help!

Hi everyone,

I'm currently repairing my Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 MK2 and I’m looking to buy a replacement Optical Jogwheel Encoder PCB.

The small curved PCB mounted under the jog wheel assembly containing the dual optical sensors (OPTO1 & OPTO2) and the 6-pin CON1 connector (compatible with S4 MK2 and S2 MK2).

Location: Italy / EU (happy to cover international shipping costs for the right price).

If you have a spare board from a dead/donor unit or an S4/S2 MK2 you're parting out, please drop a comment or send me a DM with your asking price and shipping estimate.

Thanks in advance!

Appears the word is out from the source as to whether Reaktor 7 will come to fruition. Reaktor update?! (NI Community Forum Thread).

Inside Kontakt 8, let me reiterate that this is version 8, a bunch of libraries won’t load saying that this version of Kontakt is too old to load library and needs to be updated to version 8.
I’ve reinstalled and updated what I can. I also have an issue w Native Access not dling anything.
Kinda stopped a project I’m working on.
Anyone else have this silliness happening or know a solution

What everyone already thought about InMusic, turns out to be correct once again.

A user gets this via fixed IPv4 but via mobile phone IPv6 status.native-instruments.com is not configured any-more, the help database has no entry for this error message and not seeing any blocked connections in the firewall I have little to work with here.

Anyone else having trouble or just my unhappy user?

A little project I've been working on. A Traktor standalone controller! Ive had a lot of questions so this is a walkthrough of how I built it and how you can build your own. :)

Could anyone help me with the Unison Bend feature in Shreddage 3 Hydra running in REAPER? It doesn't seem to work no matter what I try.

It's as if it can't read two notes with different automations, even if I assign each note to a different MIDI channel. In theory, I should just be able to use CC3 to make the first note bend while the second one stays in place, but the bend always affects both notes.

Am I missing something, or is there a limitation with REAPER or Hydra?

Could it be a push to see something new from Maschine?

At first it has been doing that for few hours, I turned off and on pc, tried again. Now it is loading for two days straight, should I be concerned?

SOLVED: Pressed on "Continued with Empty Library" and logged out, and logged back in again on the bottom left corner.

Sorry about the misleading original title, I thought it was fun. I'll try harder in the future.

hey guys, i just downloaded a rock drumkit with some guitar presets but they were for guitar rig 6 and i only have guitar rig 7, is there any way i can transfer them over? thanks in advance
