Session Guitarist - Picked Acoustic: No AutoChords?

Hello,

New to NI and thus interfaces, and so not sure this is the right forum section in which to post for I only have Kontakt Player. Mod/s are free to migrate this thread if necessary.

DAW: Cubase 11, Windows 10 64-bit.

The two attached screenshots are:

First shows the section of the Session Guitarist - Picked Acoustic's Help file showing where the AutoChord button should be - top left of "Customize" central area at top of the Melody & Pattern section.

Second shows a screenshot where I mask-highlighted and put a "?" over that area where it should appear, but does not. (Note that in the Help file there is no "Customize", just the magnifier.)

I've tried both Melody and Pattern in the Playback, still nothing. I must be missing something really obvious due to my newness to all things NI/Kontakt.

Please advise.
Thanks.

 

Does this also happen in Kontakt Standalone?

Edit: Auto chords is not available in the "Melody" NKI, see the graphic on page 5 of the manual that actually shows the Melody/Pattern section (no auto chords button). The graphic you are referring to appears to be the standard "Song Browser" pattern window from the regular NKI.

 

@Blindeddle - Thanks. Since I don't have full Kontak, just the Player, I tried in Komplete Kontrol, and in there, it does NOT happen (AutoChords buttons show up). I don't know what that means, but maybe you or someone here does.

 

Kontakt player should have a standalone application that you can open… there are two instrument (NKI) files included with the instrument “picked acoustic.nki” and “Picked acoustic (Melody).nki” if the former is loaded (Picked acoustic.nki) then you will see the autochords button, if the latter is open, “(Melody)” as shown in the instrument header, you will not have an autochords button. Hope that makes sense.

 

Thanks, that helped, though I'm still stumbling a bit on how to put things together musically. One step at a time.
