Hi all, I'm having a really frustrating issue with adding libraries to Kontakt. I'd like to thank everyone in advance for their time in reading this.

A few info:
- Version of Logic X: 10.5.0
- Version of Kontakt: 6.2.1 (and 5.6.6 version file included for adding libraries)
- My OS: Mojave, 10.14.6
- I'm not using Native Access to install them

Problem: When I opened the version 5.6.6 of Kontakt and added the Library, I could see it. So i closed the app, opened Logic with my latest version of Kontakt, but the library is not visible. If I open back Kontakt 5.6.6, the library is disappeared also from there.
When I try to add it again, Kontakt 5.6.6 crashes.

Fixing attempts:
- I unistalled Native instrument, I think correctly, both using "App Cleaner & Unistaller", both following this guide (the manual removal): https://support.native-instruments....tive-Instruments-Software-from-a-Mac-Computer and reinstalled everything, repeating the whole procedure.
- I wanted to try the method of changing the SNIP number, but when I go Application Support/Native Instruments/Service Center, the folder is empty, except for a single file, "pal.db".
- I tried to add the library through an older version of Kontakt, 5.0. When I add the library, it tells me that "Library already exists within the Kontakt library tab". I want to specify that I can see the .plist file in the Preferences folder.
- I tried to load the file manually in Kontakt, through the tab File, but I get the message "This instrument belongs to a library that is currently not installed".

I am really desperate! I don't know what to do anymore.

The library folder is stored in Users/Shared and contains the following items (just to exclude is not a problem with missing files).
- Documentation (folder)
- Instruments (folder)
- Library.nkc
- Library.nkr
- Library.nicnt
- Samples (folder)

Thanks in advance for your support!
Ale.

 

A quick update, I don't know how but I am able to see now the library in my latest Kontakt version, and in an actual Logic Project open.

But when I double click on the .nki file I get the error "This instrument belongs to a library that is currently not installed".
I can't change the SNIP number as my Service Center folder is empty, as mentioned above.

 

- try k5.6.0 instead of k5.6.6 it seems to be more stable
- install Librarys only with the k5.6 application
- did you have the xml maybe in HARDDISK/Library/Application Support/Native Instruments/Service Center instead of Username/Library /Application Support/Native Instruments/Service Center ?

 

Thanks a lot for your time/answer 3typen,

I think the problem was related to the library itself, as I was able to install another library which made the work for what I needed to do (strings).

Thanks again for your time.

Hi there! I know this is a super old post and it's a long shot that you will respond, but I'm having a similar issue. I installed Kontakt 6.8.0 from Bob Dule's website and when I use the "Kontakt_Button.exe" to add a library, I can see the library and it says successfully added. But when I open Kontakt in FL Studio, it only has the "DEMO" version of the library.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and would appreciate any help with this. So far I've tried reinstalling/uninstalling multiple times, but it always gives me the same issue where it's only DEMO version of the libraries. Thank anyone in advance for their patience and time
