I recently installed Native Instruments Kontakt 8.5.1 macOS [HCiSO], everything seems to be running fine except that in kontakt I don't see chords and phrases option in the tools tab, I was told that you only see features like Chords, Phrases, Arpeggiators, etc., only if the currently loaded instrument includes them, it comes with specific kontakt-powered libraries that include a Chords engine in their NKI scripting , so thus I installed Hybrid Keys and Ethereal Earth which are supposed to have the NKI scripting to try it out but still nothing in tools, am i missing something? is it not working on Kontakt 8.5.1 or something else? please advice, the image below is what i was expecting, but all i have is an empty tools tab, thank you.
