  • Nov 02, 2017  I have spend 10 hours and Native access keeps failing to download the library. I had it already downloaded on my Mac. Now, I used my ethernet cable to download it from my mac. Now I realized that unlike Kontakt 4, I cannot added to the library without Native access. Whenever, I click on 'add library', it takes me to NA, and then it fails.

Third Party Kontakt Sound Libraries. Sound libraries from third-party vendors (not Native Instruments) will prompt you to choose the content location upon installation. Their directories can also be updated afterword by locating the product in the Not installed area of Native Access and then clicking Add Library. This is where you can add your own libraries or categories. To do this you will need to navigate to the Kontakt Factory Library folder by pressing the gear icon and selecting “Open Containing Folder”. Next, open the “Instruments” folder. This is where you can add your own libraries.

Why is that?

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.

So as a user, what are your options to organize and load files from these “Non-Kontakt Kontakt Libraries”?
