How to Add a Sample Library to Native
Instruments KONTAKT
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:

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.
