So does that mean I can say, drag all the NCW samples from a library like Noire, then save the .nki? Would that fix the missing samples popup? I feel like I’d want to either do this method with libraries that only have one.nki or just load the library and save the new version of the .nki I loaded.

 

Could you please send a link with a few files that cause the error ?
Have you tried with another version of kontakt ?
Besides, the ncw file should open in an empy instrument, not in Leap, your setup is not the basic one.

No, dealing with mutliples ncw files in Kontakt is a pain and will not fix any missing samples message.
What you have to do is to resave the patch with a Kontakt version older than 6.1 or open the patch in a newer version, edit the patch, remove all zones with missing samples and then save the patch.

 

What I do to get the samples to work is click to browse for samples in a folder, then go to the library’s samples folder, it’ll recognize the ncw or nkx files inside, can I then resave that instrument in Kontakt 8 to have it not forget where the samples are again upon reloading?

 

Yes, and if it keeps asking for missing samples next time despite you resaved the instrument, it is probably because you stripped some files, ie by removing a microphone position.
In that cas, you can remove zones with missing samples as I stated before, and then save the instrument and you won't be bothered again.

 

OK,I try vkDanirove Ver 8.6.0 and another KONTAKT6.6.0 in empty instrument (Maybe) , But Same error happened.

I put mp4 and the some ncw files that cause error.

I have not deleted any samples, I simply convert them and I’m afraid if I delete the zones it’d mess up the library, and even with a library with wavs converted to ncw automatically it still sees the samples inside

 

These files are not NCW, headers are totally different, like encrypted files.
What did you use to extract NKX? Lite_Converter ? If so, did you try to extract with DoubleCommander ? (see first post if you need it)
I guess omething gone wrong during the process.

I you didn't strip anything, then the samples are not exactly at the same place comparing to the original library. This is frequent when packing folders to NKX or if you extracted NKX and keep NCW files after conversion.
Solution : You just have to browse your computer to load the samples when asked and once loaded, go to file / save and replace your instrument (or test with another name if you want). On recents libraries that need >6.10 version of Kontakt, you have to do it for each instrument, and for some libraries this could be a real pain when there are dozens of patches...
