    Hi guys, I'm losing any hope :( I installed Kontakt v6.7.1 from Moria (first I installed 6.7.0 from Moria and updated it to 6.7.1). This is what I see in Logic Pro X:

    I have Metropolis Ark 1 and Audio Bro Modern Scoring Strings libraries. I installed them using Kitty scripts. It creates xml files in ServiceCenter like this:

    And the problem is that when I launched Kontakt then libraries doesn't appear :( What is more when I try to run any instrument from "Files" tab, the following DEMO shows...

    Could you please help? Monterey is the oldest OS which I can install on my machine.

    But how to install it? I thought that creating XML file in Service Center directory is equivalent to installing this library.

    Get the [k] Kontakt 5.6 app not plugin. Run it and add the Lib. Then run 6.7.1 and it will be on the left.
    I run it on a Mac Studio Ultra/Monterey and still works perfect.

    My issue is that when I go to add the library with KLU or KittyScripts I am unable to get libraries like Arkhis, Cycles, and several others to appear in Kontakt 5 or 6... I am on Ventura (M1 16" Macbook Pro). What has appeared are the older libraries like The Maverick, Alicia Keys, New York Grand, etc. Not sure if anyone would have an answer to this but ideas are always helpful!

    It's the SNIPD number. If the Lib contains an NICNT file open it with a text editor. You will see the SNIPD number in the text eg: >A24< or >Q98<
    each one is different as they id the Lib. Then for Mac go to Library/ApplicationSupport/Service Center. In there are .XML files.
    Look for you Lib in the list. Open it with a text editor and check the SNIPD >< if it's empty add the number from the NICNT file and save it.
    Go back to Kontakt 5.6 and add the lib again if it asks put in your password. Now it will show up in Kontakt 6.7.1 or 7.1.
    If you want a specific order stayed you must open Kontakt in Applications and set the order there then it will keep that order when using your DAW.
