    Now that I finally have Kontakt 8 seeing all of my library, now my problem is that there's no audio preview in most libraries.

    How worthwhile would a preview really be? With the amount of samples and huge range of sounds they can contain, you almost have to load up an instrument and extensively dive into the thing. A happy medium of high quality sounds, but with previews so you can get to work faster is Omnisphere. With all the possible processing and other tools to edit, mangle, etc; even Nexus 5 previews are not always a very good indication of what you will get when you load up various presets. It can be easier to just load up the library with a small loop of midi data, and then clicking through the various preset patches in it, with it just looping.

    I went through this once with version 7 & the answer had something to do with Komplete.
    No not all libraries had audio audition, however so many that I thought didn't actually did.
    So I'm looking for positive feedback only please.
    I believe in the way Bruce Lee believed. If you pour water into a glass it becomes the glass. If you pour water on the floor, it becomes the floor.
    So I say to you my friend, be water.

    Kontakt not playing sounds?


    There’s a little bit at the top which selects the midi channel input. You want that to be on ‘omni’ instead of [A1][A2] or whatever. If the midi input of kontakt is set to a different channel to what your controller is broadcasting on then you will get the result above, where there’s midi coming into logic but not into kontakt
