•SUCCESS• few weeks, still no Sampler aka N.I.-Please read in>? Thanks.

Hi guys and gals,

The other day, all I did was wake the Mac up, and then I loaded Logic (which had an instance of Reason and Native Instruments) and was shocked to see this.....

https://ibb.co/6gcbVh7y

Suddenly I could no longer use the free NA library. I was using the demo of Kontakt, I thought, as I never installed on this mac.
Saying it could take up to two hours to get. That was yesterday. Free up more than 20 GB. Now I cannot get it to run nor the player it seems.


See the attached PDF.

HOW DID WE GET HERE!?
Frankly, we have no idea. All we know is we loaded a session from the other day that had an instance of the Kontakt 6.2 (demo) or player. Get confused as NI states:

• The Kontakt 6 player will play any software plug0in (or does it not and I am missing)
• I am a Music Supervisor/Composer & Sound Designer
• I turned WHO DID THAT MUSIC (radio jingle library, which had about 3-5 collections when I arrived, about 50+ when I left.
  that also had "Groove Addicts"(staff of 7?) that handled custom commercial music for
  TV. Rates for radio needle drop ranged from $250 $500, maybe $1000, but mostly not as it was needle drop.
  I almost left the interview as they wanted me to call my colleagues at Capitol Records, Warner Brothers (she was so hip).
• 
  
• Capitol, Capitol/EMI, Sony, Geffen, Warner Bros (oh you), Mind Your Music, other music supervisors. I explained and taught the owner Dain, his wife, Sharon (the COO), my manager Cindy Rossmann, and I taught Deborah Grobman myself.

Stories for another day, but I used to beta test for Giga, (finest sounding and most analog sounding at a time, offered a gig on the spot from Aspen Pittman, owner of Grove Tubs, Solo 150, 100, 75, 50 and 25-watt amps. I had a 150 watt el34 pre-amps, American coke bottle 6L6's., and boy did they rattle but sounded great. I bought a bias kit. You could have EL34s, EL84's. I was being courted by Rivera Amps (those sounded good too), another great amp is the point to point FENDER TONE MASTER head. The amp has a mean sound if you want. You can run EL34's, 6L6 (American Coke Bottles=the BEST), and depending on your playing style, you can feel the sound, if that makes any sense. Anyway, I would appreciate trying to get the sampler going, other free software, anything SPACE SOUNDING. I have created several sample kits for Sonic Foundry and SONY, $70 a pop. What is the biggest seller for N.I. Samples, kits, refill things for instruments, also appreciate that info too.

 

No, it does not. It only opens Kontakt Player libraries.


Can you even open a new fresh Kontakt instance in an empty new project? If not, something went wrong with Kontakt installation, you should uninstall it then reinstall from Native Access.

 

Man, it has been a long long time. I was here years ago. Noob indeed, lol.

 

I thought about that but I do not think I see the player in the authorizer and as you (OR ANYONE that downloads) reads the PDF.

I've been going in circles and circles. it as if it won't let me d/l anything.

 

You need to make sure that the account you log into Native Access with is the same as the one you log into the Native Instruments website.

Go here: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/my-account/my-products-serials-downloads/

Can you see Komplete Start listed there? If not, it's not added to your account. If yes, you're not logging into Native Access with the correct account, somehow. Otherwise it would have listed products from Komplete Start under Not Installed and you could install them.

Did you download Native Access and install it first? You need that.

 

YES and reinstalled last night and still could not load logic w/o error. In the process of re-installing. It seems BLOCKS (don't remember EVER downloading, unless it has to do with the ROLI series), then will try again. Any other suggestions after this?! Also, who here uses LOGIC? What controller do you find to be the best for not only N.I. but for LOGIC and REASON! I have Korg Kronos X - but in storage - need small 25 keys with drum pad!

 

Yes, so reinstall again I suppose. Not sure why wouldn't it work in Logic, though - unless you're opening a project that previously had Kontakt 5 instances. AU plugin migration feature is broken in Logic 10.5 and newer for the time being until Apple fixes it.

Blocks Base is a Reaktor Player product, has nothing to do with ROLI.

 

I tried to locate the image from yesterday but don't want to spend all day. As yesterday I am wondering if Blocks needed to be repaired. I initially thought that was part of the ROLI™ system. I remember playing with it at GC and thinking, eh, but after seeing the expression it can do using the normal Garage Band samples had me sold. Sure, know they must have a patient, but you cannot pattern how your aftertouch works so would imagine its just a matter of time before we see more devices like this.

I want to see something like NI or someone but BAND IN A BOX and tie it with good samples, make it very APPLE like but as deep as MSFT, so when you sit down and play a melody, it would be like having an arranger there. At least would speed up moving all your notes around. And man you can make it sound very real and to date, still no John Williams type of arranging help. Nothing can write it for you so not worried, just like ACID, everyone thought, everyone was going to write, can't happen. If you're good you're good, period.

Thank dude (E.D.)


Fixed block, reinstalled and it is working (the player =reinstalled)

 

Dude started on Roli and went off on a tangent. Anyway peeps, not sure if the other day my BLOCKS said repair. Like today, although I doubt.

Opened N.I. Access
Uninstalled Kontakt (using 3rd party), didn't see an uninstaller
Kept NI Acc open
REINSTALLED
BLOCKS and PLAYER.


Not sure if I had NIA running the few times I installed/uninstalled.

Thanks all.

 

Why did you uninstall Kontakt.... Blocks is a Reaktor Instrument has nothing to do with Kontakt... and “Repair” usually shows in NA if you have manually moved an instrument from its originally installed location... just an FYI
