Hi,

Today I created a .nicnt file to add a new custom library to libraries tab
and didn't pay attention to its SNPID which was already be used by other library.

- The new library is visible in the libraries tab but when I try to add any patch, receive this error message from Kontakt (ver. 5.5.0):
"your new library needs to be added before this instrument can be used"

- Other (old) library was also visible but it also didn't work.

Also, the .nki files of the new custom libraries cannot be load via file browser (receiving same error message)

- I removed the library from library tab and assigned a unique SNPID (Old library started to work),
- I also tried to change the folder names, remove the .nicnt file,

But they don't work. I'm receiving same error message.

Please help me.

Thanks.

Which libraries are the problem ones? I've had some similar issues with Kontakt libraries, so I'm curious

 

Hi,
There are 3 libraries are involved with this problem:

- Piano 162 (I created its .nicnt file)
- Session Guitarist
- Acou6tics

 

Ooh, yeah, I'm not familiar with any of those. Sorry I can't help more: Introninja might be able to, though, he seems to know a lot

 

Ok. I think, I solved the problem.

Except custom libraries (.nicnt files), you must not change SNPID's of libraries which already have a .nicnt file and their unique SNPID.

For example,
Acou6tics works only with 390 (snpid). If you change this number, you'll receive this error: "your new library needs to be added before this instrument can be used".
