If anyone stumbles across this thread, is using Kontakt 7 portable, and is trying to add HZ01, I managed to do so with just the .nkr/.nkx file combo via library manager. No .nicnt file required!

 

For Bob Dule. I’m using your Kontakt 7 v7.7.0 and I got loads of libraries from Komplete 14 showing up in demo mode. Ex, 40s Very Own Keys. Also some where the library is not found. What’s strange, I have these libraries working perfectly on my laptop, but not on my new mini pc. The new mini pc is much newer and faster than the much older laptop, but it’s not working as good. What can I do to fix this?
Hope you can help me.
Thanks.

Bit late to the party, but thanks for sharing your nicnt with us @Bunford! HZ Percussion is working very perfectly now!

Quick question for @bobdule about generating similar nicnt for other libraries;
Earlier you mentioned that for certain libraries the <HU> and <JDX> data is needed in order to get the right validation.
I have noticed when creating nicnt with KLU, there is no sign of any <HU> and <JDX> data in the nicnt-file.
Could you please explain how to find <HU> and <JDX> data and how to manually add this to the nicnt files correctly (Mac Silicon)?

Thank you in advance!

This.

Just open the latest Native Access.xml and then CTRL+F to search and find the product you are creating the .nicnt for, and then all of the relevant information you need will be there.

 

Thank you for your answers @bobdule and @Bunford! Really appreciate it!

I tried to add another library (Spitfire HZ02 Hans Zimmer Los Angeles) to my Kontakt and followed all the instructions;
1. Make a nicnt-file by using KLU
2. Changing the nicnt Filename <Name> and <RegKey> to HZ02 Percussion
3. Adding <UPID> <HU> and <JDX> to nicnt-file
4. Adding the library to Kontakt by using "Add Library.command"

I thought this would be the right method, but I think I did something wrong in the process... Somehow it is not even showing up in my Kontakt Library Tabs at the moment.

It will show up in my Kontakt Library Tabs if I keep the Filename <Name> and <RegKey> Spitfire HZ02 Hans Zimmer Los Angeles, but then it shows up in DEMO...

This is the code of the current nicnt-file. Could you guys help me finding out where I messed up and explain a little what I can do better to add other libraries without too much errors?

Thank you in advance! ^.^
