And if you’ve got this far;
there is one 5.8.1 instrument amongst this 9.16GB download which may appear to be corrupt but I was able to extract the contents with 7zip

It also contains four other nki that load in Kontakt 6
Bagpipe Comp Shortlist.zip

Thanks so much for this list, Bo Din. Bless you!

[lesf42]

Thank you Bo Din, a great resource.

This listing is a god send!

I’d just watched Christian’s video on “The Gimp”, and saw that the download link only said Kontakt.

Of course, it doesn’t work in 5.8.1. 🙁

Thanks for the feedback. I haven’t added clickable links to the pages because of the way things get posted on this forum. Admin I believe, has to clear it before it goes public for understandable reasons and then we can’t check it for errors and we can’t edit posts more than a few minutes old.

So what I decided to do was just create a new thread with a fully updated list whenever this page slides off the front of the forum.

[Chris Yuzik]

It would be great if the library specified the minimum version of Kontakt required to load the instruments. Simply saying “Kontakt” and leaving it to the user to download the library, unzip it, place it within the kontakt folders on the user’s computer and then load it up only to be greeted with the “Your version of Kontakt is too old” message is frustrating to say the least.

[bo din]

Yeah, it would be great. Maybe you could get in touch with admin.

Or you could leave a note (as well as, or instead of a review with the info on the library page) once you have found out which is which.

Hopefully, this list will help you out with that (and you could help others out) until someone fixes it.
