    Yo, I was never a fan of kontakt because of my very poor hd, I got an SSD now and I get that some libraries kotakt recognize very well but some others just dont shows on the libraries lists, wich files needs to be in wich place to it work properly?

    Well, it looks like that library doesn't have a .nicnt file, so you'll either have to create a .nicnt file by using mini-nicnt or something similar, or go to the FILES tab in Kontact and load the intruments directly (they'll be located under the library's 'Instruments' folder). Once you've found the intrument(s), you can then add them to your 'Quick Load' panel, which is available by right-clicking near the bottom of the Kontakt GUI.

    ...don't forget to "batch re-save" the library (select the option under the disk icon near the top, click "Yes" then locate the library folder) - this can speed-up instrument patch loading considerably, no matter which type of storage device you use! :wink:

    ok
    first thing when you face technical issues in future
    you must give full info of your issue and post it so kontakt experts/users can help you
    for example
    which version is your kontakt (full /portable/crack/version/kontakt location on your pc/)

    i ll suppose you have that latest crack version which was posted recently and that one my friend is easy if you follow instructions
    as the newcrack has now that ''add library.exe'' file which easily add your libraries to kontakt without issues
    and i see you have that new kontakt library PHARLIGHT so my guess is correct

    NOW...if you have 3rd party libraries that kontakt doesnt show on the browser ,that one i can help you with by

    1- CLOSE kontakt first

    2- CREATE shortcuts all your libraries ,and TAKE all those shortcuts folders of those libraries
    and PASTE THEM HERE by kontakt default location
    C:\Users\yourpcname\AppData\Local\Native Instruments\Kontakt\QuickLoad\Instr
    those shortcuts must be placed INSIDE Instr folder
    3- i see you have FL studio as your DAW so OPEN it and find kontakt plugin and OPEN IT

    4- CLICK on that SUPER TINY ARROW located between multi rack and new (default)
    that small arrow point to buttom will call the shortcuts libraries as quickload and you can now browse easily
    your 3rd party libraries that kontakt doesnt show on the browser

    i do have 207 libraries so when i open kontakt i ll go make a coffee until that quickload button scan all my libraries lol
    but i guess you have less libraries so clicking on that arrow and the scan will take a second only

    good luck my friend

    Each liberary needs a unique ID. You can find lists on the web or take a chance just making a number up - as long as it doesn't conflict with another installed library it won't matter if you do. I keep an excel spreadsheet with the ID numbers i've used (along with the Manufacturer & Library details) which is useful if you do this many times so as not to get flustered next time...

    BTW, did you place the .nicnt file in the library's main folder?

    You can add libraries by pressing the "manage libraries" button near the top left of the Kontakt GUI

    You need to go inside that folder and select the library file that will be there if a .nicnt file exists for the lib.

    The pharlight lib probably needs the latest kontakt. You should be able to grab that from the sister site.

    Hmm, either you didn't fill in all the fields properly in MINI-NICNT or the id you entered conflicts with another library or possibly because your version of Kontakt is simply too old...

    If none of the above fixes it , er i'm out of advice... take it up with someone more knowledgeable like @The Pirate or @Xupito - i know they adore being randomly pestered... :woot:

    it means that the edited nicnt file is wrong.

    it is not a kontakt version problem.

    using an existing snpid is not a problem to add it, no company name also.
    it can be a post edit with text editor issue loosing symbols of the nicnt file.
    if not it come's from a broken machine with missing componants.
