    [QUOTE = "LordMustang, publicación: 320084, miembro: 37611"] Hola chicos,

    Tengo un problema con la biblioteca Action Strikes. Estoy ejecutando Kontakt versión 5.6.5. Puedo agregar la biblioteca muy bien a Kontakt, pero cada vez que intento cargar un instrumento, se cuelga. La versión VST bloquea mi DAW completa, la versión independiente se cuelga sola.

    He intentado limpiar la carpeta appdata de Kontakt, pero eso no ayuda. Tanto la versión independiente como la VST siguen bloqueándose. También traté de cargar un instrumento directamente, sin agregar la biblioteca. Todavía se estrelló.

    Estoy un poco sin ideas. Alguien sabe lo que podría causar esto? Mi mejor opción sería que mi Kontakt sea demasiado nuevo para la biblioteca. pero lo dudo

    Gracias [/ QUOTE]
    tienes una versión potable o instalada de kontakt y que versión posees ?

    Got Kontakt working on my PC with portable 6.0.2 but when I copied it to my laptop, I'm getting content missing and library not installed errors.

    The filepath for the libraries are exactly the same as my PC. I've tried deleting the portable and reinstalling and just re-doing it manually (I only have a few libraries) and it still won't work. Desperately been trying to get it work on the laptop but nothing I do can help it :'(

    Anybody have an idea how to get it working ?

    Hey, just reinstalled my setup about nearly 2 years off from being on the road.

    I'm noticing something weird I never experienced before.

    When I change the focus from a kontakt vst instance to another one in my DAW, everything freezes and it takes from 5sec to 30sec until the patch UI shows up and I'm able to do anything.

    I'm using kontakt 6.0.4 release but I'm getting the same thing with 5.8.1.
    My DAW is Studio one 4.1.3, but I also test in FL Studio 20 and got the same result.

    The instruments I'm using have been freshly batch-resaved and the libraries are on an SSD.

    I've searched and I did not manage to find someone with the same problem.

    Any clue?

    Edit: I also tried with the latest legit kontakt player 6.0.4 (R64) and I get the same result (the library are in demo mode)

    Alright, so removing libraries from the manage library view is helping.

    So I guess it's a data hoarding problem, I have too much libraries added? Still weird.

    Hi everyone,

    One week of research, and still no solution.

    I'm on Win10 x64 r1809.
    I installed Xosphere 2 to try it out on Kontakt Portable 6.0.4.
    I installed the presets (nka files) in Kontakt604P\UserData\User Content\Kontakt
    Everything worked fine the first day.

    Then my motherboard died.

    I replaced my mobo and made a fresh re-install of Windoze.
    I placed K portable on C: (root, not in protected area like program files) to take advantage of my SSD.
    And to be sure, I changed permissions to total control on the whole K portable folder.

    But, presets from Xosphere didn't showed up in the GUI.

    I placed K portable on another drive > same problem
    I used the edit panel, then instrument options to show (or even create) the presets path (and place them there) > no presets to be seen
    I renamed folders, tryed to load nka files directly from the browser or explorer > still invisible.
    Then I tried fresh K6 v602 and v603 > same thing

    I tried some incantations, put a candle in the first church nearby, prayed Allah, Zarahoustra, St Jobs, Saint B. Gates and even Chthulhu.
    (now my keyboard is full of green slime).
    I even called E Musk, but I have to buy a Tesla before I can get support ticket, Aaarghhhh.
    Finally, I painted a preset directly on my screen, looks nice, but so far this library is (very) limited (soundwise).

    Joke aside, if some good soul with a real brain have any idea . . . ?


    Edit:
    I found a workaround:
    I installed the K604 symlink version, the presets are available in this release.
    (but I keep the portable one for other libs)

    Problem solved.

    Win 7- sp1 x64 ult.
    Kontakt 6.1 standalone, Studio One 4.1.4
    I can't find an Add Library GUI app. Not the 'add library' button in Kontakt, but the app with the GUI for loading all types of libraries including self-made... any ideas? What am I missing here? Is it a hidden app, or is it just gone? I uninstalled 5.8.1 then put in 6.1.
    Thanks, good people.

    In K portable 's folder you'll find a Helper folder
    Inside there's a Library Manager Folder, and inside this one, the Library Manager executable

    I hope that's what you've looked for.

    Hello Audiosexers, long time no see!

    I have a problem and I hope someone can help me. I am trying to install Kontakt 6 v6.1.0 STANDALONE, VSTi, AAX x86 x64
    Everything goes well during the setup, choosing folders, etc. But then, while installing, it gives me an error saying:

    "The specified path is too long: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Native Instruments\Kontakt\Database".

    Nowhere during the installation was this path mentioned or chosen. I know that the path is not very long as there are lots of folders and subfolders in that location, so I find the error message really odd.

    Could any one help me with this pretty please?

    I have Kontakt 5 still installed, should I uninstall it? I really don't want to, unless I have to (I have tons of libraries already there and all setup). But I will uninstall it if that is the solution.

    Many thanks in advance for your time.

    I know it's an old threat, but do you have by any chance the Cinebrass PRO NICNT available? If yes, it would be great if I could get it from you.

    since this is a sticky, I'm gonna post what solved all my issues regarding adding libraries to installed Kontakt (6.2.2)

    just reinstall add library.exe as administrator. I also use klm.exe to create nicnt, rarely they won't work... the install as adm is key imo and not many mention it

    if I have my antivirus Zone Alram on kontakt does not work. if I turn it off... Kontakt works. took me days to work that of - if your daw is blocked with a firewall that could be the issue.

    I installed the newest version of Kontakt 6, used the kegen, registered successfully and also used the R2R Kontakt Manager. However 1/5th of my libraries are still in DEMO mode, and Native Accesss shows me that all my libraries are in DEMO Mode. What did I do wrong, how do I activate them?

    In Particular, one Library that is always in Demo Mode is NI Noire Piano.

    Hey AudioSex friends,

    I tried installing the Spitfire Chamber Strings KONTAKT-Minified Version on Windows 7 64bit, first with all legit downgraded Kontakt 5.6 and later Kontakt 6.6.1 by R2R. I see the library but it stays in DEMO / Activate Mode.

    Tried using the R2R Kontakt Manager, KLM 3.0 By DoubleY- and KLP (Kontakt Library Creator) V1.0, checked/adjusted the SNPID and UPID in the .nicnt and the .xml (both the Spitfire Chamber Strings.xml AND the NativeAccess.xml), adjusted AuthSystem to both RAS2 and RAS3 in both .xmls. Nothing works, visible but always staying in Demo Mode.

    What else should I try?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello,

    I'm getting very high cpu spikes from certain kontakt libraries that use 60-70% of my cpu (Intel i7 processor). It doesn't happen on all libraaries, just some while playing notes. I have tried the "use fixed buffer size" option in FL Studio, but it does not help the problem at all. I'm using Bob Dule Kontakt portable 6.6.1. Let me know if you know of any solutions. Thanks!
