    Hi guys ,
    Just got my Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S88 MK2 and installed native access.
    Kontakt worked well with my cracked librarys and the keyboard until one hour later everything crashed.
    Now whenever I open a Kontakt 6 library in Cubase my DAW just crashes.

    I also installed Kontakt 7 to try the same libarys but have the same error
    Do you think that this could be related to my Keyboard?
    Any suggestions for possible fixes?

    Only use Cubase never tried any different DAW

    I think there were some fixes suggested with Regedit but I forgot about them.
    I also installed Kontakt 7 to backcheck (Used Kontakt 6 before), so it probably is a Kontakt Issue

    Maybe the keyboard software has some Anti piracy measures?
    Would be nice to hear if other people with this keyboard have problems aswell

    Win PC or MAC?
    If PC, is your DAW machine internet connected with updater and a/v services running? Of is it offline with an optimized OS?

    Yes, using PC Windows 10.
    DAW is internet connected.
    Could it be that Native access caused problems?
    Had to downlaod it with the komplete Kontrol to get my keyboard working

    You should be blocking outbound traffic with your firewall. Your controller will work without either Native Access or Komplete Kontrol even installed, except for the display screens.

    Any Idea what to block specifically?
    Without Komplete Kontrol my DAW did not even recognize midi inputs from the keyboard.

    Best Answer
    I would suggest a komplete uninstall of the current native instruments net connected stuff and replace it with the following;

    Native Instruments – Komplete Kontrol v2.9.1 – R2R (STANDALONE, VSTi, VST3i, AAX) [WIN x64]

    Then - remove
    - internet
    - A/V
    - ms store
    - win update

    from the machine doing media production. You can either setup a HOSTS file loopback block (i.e.)
    127.0.0.1 <dns domain name> for specific domains that those and other audio app will eventually end up accessing.

    Or, if you must have internet connected (not recommended) you can use a windows firewall (for lack of a better term) filter to block ALL outbound traffic except for certain apps that are non-obtrusive and require outbound access ...

    If properly set up either method of blocking above will work if internet connection on a media production machine is a must.

    Thanks so much I will try this.
    If I had known that there was a Komplete Kontrol on the sister website then I would have never downloaded it from NI:facepalm:

    I Just uninstalled Native access and used your Komplete Kontrol software from the sister site.
    Everything is running fine again. Thank you all so much for your advice this saved my sanity.
    Literally thought that all my recordings with Kontakt would have gone to shit :wink:
