    Hello friends,

    I have recently downloaded a large Bundle of BigFishAudio Kontakt libraries that are bundled into one singular bank. Over the years I have collected many singular BFA banks as individual banks, and today I would like to collapse all of these banks to fit neatly into the bundle. This way I would not have 40 individual BFA Banks to scroll through when browsing my kontakt banks. Instead I would like to neatly tuck them all into one bank (the BFA Bundle). This way I can open the singular bundle to then use any of the individual instruments from inside there. How does one go about doing this? I have search AS for a thread regarding this but haven't found anything. If this has been discussed/answered in the past I would appreciate if someone could link me said thread.

    Thanks :)

    Oh hi. Sorry, did start but got sidetracked with phonecall!
    Well, yeah. I have even quoted the link before to others!
    So I guess it's quicker to search my own comments to others!
    It's just that I waffle on a lot here at AS, so....lol....
    Give me a minute...
    But it's literally putting them all in one folder and creating a .nicnt file for it.
    But I don't do it, so I need to find the exact details for you.

    Best Answer
    Okay. The Best Answer button will be under this comment for you to click, mate! hehe.

    1. Separate libs by categories and copy/move all libs to main folders...eg. Drums, Strings, etc.
    Or in your case just Big Fish Audio? And yet you could split them for ease. Otherwise it's just the same to search through all of them!
    2. You can try and create a wallpaper.png and copy to each folder, but it doesn't matter and might not always work. I think the .nicnt has to see it. But some .nicnt/wallpaper generators can sort that out.
    3. Create a .nicnt file for each folder. Hopefully you know about SNPID numbers?
    4. Add library.
