Is there a guide to installing instruments into Kontakt?

[swhite99]

I recently load the Project Sam free orchestra into Kontakt and it appears nicely in Kontakt as a library. I can’t seem to do the same with instruments from Pianobook. I’m probably doing something wrong.

I’m sure I used Native Instruments and a serial number for the above so it was kinda easy.

Any help gratefully received.

Steve.

Hi Steve
Unfortunately you cannot place the pianobook instruments in the Kontakt library (a juicy fee has to be paid to Native Instruments to do this. Ask Spitfire). Just place your instrument in a folder on your computer. And navigate to it using the files tab on Kontakt I have a folder dedicated to the pianobook on a drive for samples,and they are all easy to access. Unless your version is an old version of Kontakt 5. That’s what you have to do.

Hi Steve,

for the Pianobook Instruments in Kontakt I use the Quickload function which is very useful to organise and “quick load” your sounds. Please check it out here:

You can simply drag your nki-Files into your Quickload browser and you have quick access.

Thanks for the guidance everyone

Hi all, when I add nki files to Kontakt via the files menu, the instrument comes up as a DEMO. This then times out after a period of using it. Ia there a way around this please?

I am using version 6.2.2 of Kontakt and it says that it is a Player version

Thank you in advance
