Okay this update is a complete game changer!! If they keep making these Leap Expansions I will be making some massive room on my hard drives lol!

[Soundtrackloops]

These sound great! Cool to hear the other packs that are included. I produced the Funk & Disco kit for you guys at 00:28 Loving Leap so far, tons of fun. Super easy to use. Tons of inspiration.

You need to get your Native Access sorted out far too slow on big downloads. Not the only one with this issue!. Fallowed all steps removed, firewalls, no proxy or vpn, etc. It's only started to happen recently with your update. Not good enough.

This seems to be Output VST Inspired GUI, but Nive sounds TOP Quality.

THIS DEFINITELY COMPETES WITH ARCADE! WIDE VARIETY OF GENRES TO CREATE.

[Izax]

I dont understand why they create "leap expansion" when there is already maschine expansion/sample that you can drag and drop in it? To get more money i guess

[douglasfugazi]

It sounds good but the upgrading price is pretty expensive 😢

[GetoGoldMedalist]

They should've just tried to partner with Output if they liked the idea of Arcade that much. This is just a cheap rip off of a product that isn't great to begin with. NI could've updated Battery or Massive X. Or added features to the existing FX libraries(i.e Bite, Dirt etc.) which I think are overlooked.

Could we expect to see Leap Expansion available on Maschine Plus before the end of 2025?
It would be very nice

[himdownstairsmusik]

The naming conventions for some of the expansions and their presets seem mighty sus

[joelrudshavn]

Everything worked like a charm yesterday. Then today no massive X, or massive presets . Why is it that everytime you guys give out a new komplete it seems to mess with everything else .

Hi NI, will the 80s New Wave and Progressive Trance Expansion Packs work with Kontakt 7 Player by any chance or does it have to be Kontakt 8 Player? Thanks.

[jjolsson]

They are okay but not that great, you don't get as much content as a machine pack. They are quite limited at the minute. I would love to see more quality samples and more actual content in the packs. Vocal ones are quite good but again, not too much content.

I would be disappointed if future packs feature so little content and are priced the same or more as any maschine packs.

[heartshinemusic]

More packs with pure pop, rock and country styles please. With rock guitar oriented packs, please add guitar amp feedback samples as effect!

[MauriceRoss-el]

NATIVE INSTRUMENTS PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION! Where the are all the LEAP EXPANSIONS. I just purchased Kontakt 8 and it appears the only expansion is Lo-Fi, where are the rest of the expansions, there’s supposed to be 12. And oh yeah, it is impossible to ask a question in your support section. It appears that if one of your canned answers does not do it you are SOL. Why do you make it so frickin hard to contact support?

[pongtrometer]

I can't see the kontakt 8 player in native access installer, or the komplete start installer, im using mac OS 11.7, whats the fix for this, as there is no info on the site . thanks in advance .

[judddredd]

Whats the chances of Kontakt 8 actually working? Considering the hassle everyone has with v7 im doubtful

[wkelly-hnkb]

The newer the tech gets ..the further it seems to get away from people who play .. and "beat makers " who produce rap.

Boom Blip ..boomBlppim

[CarlitoProductions]

Does komplete kontrol expansions work inside of Kontakt 8?

[DesoloZantas]

I really don't understand the point of these types of libraries. It's almost like sampling with effects which is something you can do outside of owning Kontakt. Now if I could change the samples from major to minor or something. Then it would be worth it but they're just normal samples with effects. 🤔
