    Hi !
    I have a preset problem with Sample Logic library.
    Except that I put the folder in "user ... / kontakt" and everything worked. since i installed komplete kontrol it no longer works. I use kontakt 6.3.1. however other libraries which are not from Sample Logic work. so I don't think there was a crash after launching native access.
    I have tried everything: uninstalling kontakt, cleaning the registry, moving the library, redownloading the release. If someone has an idea ???

    If for some reason one of our full Kontakt libraries will not load properly, or is missing presets, please find the product’s presets folder located inside the product library folder and copy it to the following folder(s):
    [Mac] Boot Drive/Users/Your User Name/Documents/Native Instruments/Kontakt or Kontakt 5.
    [Windows] Boot Drive/Users/Your User Name/Documents/Native Instruments/Kontakt or Kontakt 5.


    In case you need further assistance, please watch this short installation video:

    Hello, I'm having the same problem as bionx, I have placed the preset folder as suggested in the video but presets still continue to be missing. I can play the initial patch but I can't select any new preset because it's blank... What could I be doing wrong? Bionx, have you been able to resolve this? If so, how?

    Hey @DanBits
    I can't be bothered to watch the video, but I'm sure you have.
    But if these "presets" are 'snapshots' i.e. .nks files, then the proper way to add them is to click on the wrench icon in the Kontakt gui and follow the prompts and a window will open for you to drag and drop the presets into.
    They are then attributed to the .nki

    and what did you do? if it's not working for that's you did something wrong.
    maybe you can show what you did? screenshots? paths?
    and as always:
    WHAT IS YOUR F... OS? WHAT IS VERSION OF YOUR F... KONTAKT? :snuffy:

    My windows version is 10 Pro 64bit version 1909 - Kontak is version 6.3.1

    I followed the steps in the video's outline, "if presets don't appear after installation, copy the presets folder to Boot Drive C: / Users / User's Name / Documents / Native Instruments / Kontakt / Drop presets folder there and walla! Everything should be fine." But it is not. Presets still won't show up even after restarting the computer.

    I don't understand, according to the video, the path to presets on a PC will always be: Boot Drive C: / Users / User's Name / Documents / Native Instruments / Kontakt - That's where I dropped the presets folder, but it still won't work.

    Would you mind explaining what you are saying, maybe that is where I'm having some confusion?

    Thanks in advance, I really appreciate that you are engaging in my situation.

    @DanBits

    1- open your instrument
    2- click on the wrench icon
    3- click on instrument option ... a window opens (magic isn't it ?)
    4- hilight the snapshots option this gives you the path where snapshots (presets) should be installed
    if no snapshots are properly installed it says; "..no path ..." (somethin like that)
    and you are asked if you want the path created for you - click yes
    this action opens a win explorer window - copy your presets in this window and voilĂ .

    Close all windows and unload your instrument
    Next time you open Kontakt your snapshots will be seen when you load the instrument

    (erease whatever snapshots you copied before = Root\user\etc etc ....)

    Have a nice day

    User's Name - there must be YOUR CURRENT WINDOWS USER NAME. not "Shared" or "Administrator" or any other user name (if you have more than 1 user).

    that's why I asking again:
    open presets folder, copy path from explorer address bar and type it here.

    Hello Taula, here it is.... that's where I copied my presets.

    C:\Users\Dannyb\Documents\Native Instruments\Kontakt

    Hello Gizmoz,
    did that workaround enable you to see the presets in the presets menu of the application?

    btw, this version have a lot of bugs. install latest version - 6.4.2 (NOT portable).

    I can't download this library now to check it (using mobile hotspot), but same actions with arpology cinematic dimensions solved missing presets problem.

    In most cases yes for almost all Sample Logic libraries
    If it is not your case, check permissions (this would require no permission to read in this folder: unlikely imho)

    If all was ok before Komplete Control, we may have to look in that direction.
    As I never used or installed Komplete Control, I can't help with it.
    Btw : Talula is good advisor for K Libs

    I agree but its semantic and doesn't help DanBits

    Hope you'll find a solution soon
