In order for a collection to appear in Kontakt’s Libraries tab with the graphic, the developer of the library has to pay Native Instruments a fee for the privilege. The developer and end user get some perks from this deal as well, but suffice it to say that the price point many developers sell at does not justify the spend. Well im having the same trouble. I have kontakt 5.6 installed working perfectly fine for the past few weeks. Now all of a sudden im not able to load libraries so i tried to verify if it was juz this new library, and removed a prev library and tried to add it back and it shows no library found for that as well.
Kontakt formatted files and Kontakt Libraries
KONTAKT offers you a number of different tools that let you keep track of your installed sampling libraries and their contents. Ultimately, they all have the same purpose: to let you locate and use any item you’re looking for as quickly as possible.
The main differences between KONTAKT formatted files and KONTAKT libraries are that the KONTAKT libraries require an additional Activation code.
Powered by KONTAKT: Only libraries from Native Instruments and selected third party manufacturers can use theAdd Libraryfunction.
Others third parties Libraries: Kontakt formatted Libraries like Syntheway KONTAKT, containing instruments in .nki format with their respective wav samples, and cannot be added to the library tab. So, in order to load the files, please follow any of these 4 methods described below:
Via Browse icon: from Kontakt toolbar, click 'Browse' icon (folder) and select the Magnus Choir folder location. Open the folder, order by size and it will expand the nki list first. Double click on nki instrument that you wish to add in Kontakt rack.
Dragging in Kontakt rack: Drag i.e. Magnus Choir Kontakt nki files directly onto the Kontakt rack from your desktop or hard drive.
Via Files icon: load via the 'Files' menu (floppy disc icon) in the center of the Kontakt toolbar and select i.e. the Magnus Choir nki instrument.
Via Quick icon: Load via 'Quick' icon. Similar to the Libraries Tab, once you've clicked on the 'Quick' load button, you will see a browser. Drag your Syntheway library onto this browser. It will be there for future quick loading.
