Hi all, I've been a member for years, and have been using cracked Kontakt 5s on my Mac since like 2012. I should know what I'm doing by now. But ever since the Native Access feature was added I cannot get any of my libraries to run on newer cracked versions of Kontakt.

I add libraries in the cracked Kontakt 5.6 as instructed, they appear in the side tab. If the library is for Kontakt 6, it will ask me to confirm the changes but the library does not appear in the tabs. In BOTH SITUATIONS however, as soon as I close Kontakt 5.6, everything I've done is forgotten. The libraries don't appear in K6 when I open it, loading individual instruments gets an error message that the library has not been installed. When I go back to 5.6, the libraries that did load in the tab are no longer there.

I've done a full uninstall/reinstall about 6 times now. What more do I need to do? Batchmod? XML editing?

Would really appreciate any help.

 

Try running a scan with Native Access. That seems to be necessary with newer libs, and it also tends to wake up the older ones, libs that tend to disappear all the time.

Also, if the lib install generates an XML file in the Service Centre (many new ones don't), open it up with a text editor and check its SNPID number - some will default to 000. If you change it to the right one, from the .nicnt file, the lib will appear next kontakt boot.

Here is the fix, for anyone, anytime when you added the library (apparently successfully) in the earlier standalone version but it doesn't show up in your new app:

1. check the SNPID number of the library, go to the folder of the library and open the nicnt file (with TextEdit or any similar program), you will find a line like this:

<SNPID>P74</SNPID>

(in this case P74 was the ID code of Metropolis Ark 3)

2. go to your hard drive > Library > Application Support > Native Instruments > Service Center, and look for the .xml file with the name of that desired library, open it with TextEdit and you will see that the SNPID number there is 000 which indicates that Kontakt somehow hasn't been able to add it properly, or whatever... Change that three zeros with the ID code you found in the nicnt of that library.

During this process Kontakt app should not be opened!

 

Hello KONTAKT boyz, I've installed 6.0.4
I'm a newbie with Kontakt so I would ask: Quick Lock is locked with a little padlock...
Any idea to unlock it?

Many thanks for tips...

I DON'T HAVE THE WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW THANKFUL I AM FOR THIS INFORMATION!!!!

I just created an account to take the time to thank you, I've looked for this solution everywhere for HOURS and couldn't find anything. Thank you, thank you thank you!!!!

 

is there a new update fix for this? I'm trying to use Odeholm Drums which ID is 1e0, I have checked as above comments in that .xml files, but the library wasn't loaded in Kontakt. I'm using Kontakt 7.10.4

 

Yep, this did it. Had to duplicate an xml file and created my own though, cause it wasn't being created by default. Thanks.

 

If you use this file which is dynamically updated by NI, you will always have the correct SNPID numbers for all the libraries you can possibly install from real developers: https://api.native-instruments.com/static/phints/NativeAccess.xml

It does not contain data for more "home made libraries" like the ones you might find in sample packs.
When you have all the correct data for known libraries, it makes dealing with exceptions rare and very easy.
