@Amorphis This back and forth between you and I is over. Over means over

Well when you write a statement that has "How many times do I have to say..." as a replay to MY post I can assume that you maybe mean me by that. If not, then everything is fine. But it would maybe have been more clear if you would have posted this as a reply to cubase73 directly. Anyway, all is settled then.

But concerning what you said about what people in general did and what you used to tell them, isn´t it a bit misunderstandable to say "overwrite" K5 with K6? I mean, it is supposed to be alongside on the system. "Overwrite" sounds like "take the exe and dll etc from K6 and overwrite the files from K5 with it". Which is really not what you are supposed to do, as they install in different folders originally. Am I wrong here?

There´s no contest here, really. I totally get what to do, I have my Kontakts running all fine, all I want is to help people get theirs running fine!

 

First, I'm using a cracked version of Kontakt on my Windows laptop.
I don't want to buy a library without fully exploiting all his possibilities and sound qualities. I'm not millionaire.

I'm writing this in order to help new users of Kontakt. Experienced users already know all of this

Logically, we should have only one version of Kontakt now. Many people say they keep older versions of Kontakt so they can continue to open their old projects. It will not be necessary anymore (Read further). If we could only have just the updates, we should not uninstall the previous version each time. For the next Update, I advise you to simply copy the dll into the right folder and click on "replace the file in the destination". If you decide to uninstall the previous version and you are afraid of losing the added libraries, copy and paste the "Service Center" folder where you want. He's located here: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Native Instruments\Service Center. Update or fresh install never changes the folder tree. Only the dll is updated. Nothing else.

I have a legitimate version of Komplete 12 and I know how the updates work. When we went from Kontakt 5 to Kontakt 6, this one was not displayed like "Kontakt 6" but only "Kontakt". This is the first time that Native Instrument does not give to Kontakt a numerical value and that's why users always have Kontakt 5 that appears. Pictures. If you have a lot of project with version 5, I advise you to keep it.
If you uninstall it, you must save your presets and replace them on the entire track where Kontakt 5 was by Kontakt 6.Then you can delete it.

6. Do I have to uninstall older major product versions or will they be replaced?

You do not have to uninstall older major product versions. The new version will be installed in addition to the existing one. Example: if KONTAKT 5 is already installed on your system, KONTAKT 6 will not replace KONTAKT 5 and will be installed side-by-side. This way you can still use sequencer projects that contain instances of KONTAKT 5.

Looks good , only can't find it on sister site ?

 

Check your PM

 

Hi Pirate, you were right and the library works perfect with this version of Kontakt. I know because I checked it out in my laptop. Unfortunately it doesn't work in my main computer and it has to be related to the w10 regedit because of the custom nincts. I am not going to make custom nincts again ... sometimes they mess up everything and they are not necessary because we can load the patches from the files tab. Ty for your help

 

You are very welcome. Brother as long as you use the SNPID Locator and make sure there is no conflict, you are going to be fine. Dont get discourage. Run the Locator and change the conflicting SNPIDs in all of the respective nincts files. It takes but a couple of minutes.

 

@Vagalume: Pirate is right, I also had problems with conflicting SNPIDs between official and/or custom libraries and after he had been telling me about it and a bit of work invested I am really happy to have a nice beautiful collection of all working libraries now.
With the TinyToolz you will be able to solve your problems!

 

Just to clarify, i didnt want Kontakt 5 anymore so thats why i just copied the files over and didnt uninstall it.

 

no, horizon. that is not it. on the front page of the sister site is a weekly top ten. the kontakt 6.1.1 p2p post is listed there. click that link, but don't download that version. instead scan down about six posts and you will see a post by r4e. that is the version that the pirate is referring to.[/QUOTE]
Oh. Alright, now I understand. Thank you so much for your clear explanation.

 

I'm referring to both releases of version 6.1.1. Whether you decide to use the P2P or r4e one is up to you. The end result is going to be the same.

 

Hi guys! Quick question.. can we use commercial library on this (ie. not found or shared on sis site)? Will it works?

Thanks in advanced

 

i would like to take a copy of!!

 

You can use ANY library with this. Remember with an unlocked Kontakt every library works. There is no locked library. It is the player that is locked.

 

Kontakt 6 can replace Kontakt 5, at least the portable version can do it. You just need to edit one .ini file and projects made with Kontakt 5 will still work flawlessly with Kontakt 6.
However I'm not sure if you can still do this with R4e version.

 

Yes, with the Portable you can trick the DAW to see version 6 as version 5, I know that. But even then you don´t replace the files. You do a new "install" of version 6 and just remove 5 from your system.
I stick with believing that you should not just replace the exe, dll files etc from let´s say a symlink version 5 with those files from the new 6.1.1 release. Maybe it works even, but it´s not very clean and I wouldn´t trust it.

And if someone says he replaced the files but actually meant by that that he was removing his version 5 from the system and then installed version 6 to completely switch to that one, that´s just not very well expressed then...

 

Mornin Audio folks. n00b here. I've been a nightmare of a pickle since I redid my OS (Win 10) thinking I could upgrade to 5.7 or what have you from 5.5. Keep getting all the usual "No library found" , mainly with 8dio/Cinesamples etc, some work, some don't. I now know of the Native access nightmare that came past 5.6 I believe(I was unaware of until googling doh). I understand I could quick load the libraries, but my OCD tries to make the library skins happen at all costs.

Does this 6.1.1 P2P/R4e version allow Notepad ++ Nicnt edits or using other nicnt editors?
Somewhere to DL 6.1.1 and give it a try? At a loss here

 

Every unlocked Kontakt will allow you to edit the Nicnt for any library. For second part of your question, check your inbox, and next time be more discreet.

Hi, ever since I went from 6.0.4 to 6.1.1 it seems that the libraries I add using the "Add Library" functionality don't show up, even if it says the library was successfully registered.

When I check inside the registry, I see that an entry was added to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subdirectory of the other libraries - HOWEVER, it did not get added to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER one. Could this be why it says successfully registered but won't show up in Kontakt?

Would love some help on this...

 

@metrosuperstar The problem is not with Kontakt 6.1.1 it is with you. Why did i say that? Because it it was a problem with Kontakt 6.1.1 I everyone would be having it. First thing you need to do is to make sure that the SNPID for the library you are adding is not being shared by another library. That is rule number one. Second, make sure that the XML file for the respective library you added shows the correct SNPID number. Third, this Forum is full with explanations as to how to solve the same issue you are having. Indeed, i think it was explained in this thread.
