    Basicaly, I have one Keyboard in Kontakt 7 that always says it cant find the library. Its looking for a non existent folder first. Is there a way to change which folder Kontakt looks for this particular library? I can search manually and it finds it fine, but I cant seem to save the correct location so it always look there next time. So everytime i load up this particular keyboard it says it cant find the library.

    If this is Kontakt Portable, you can remove the library with the library manager and re-scan.

    If you mean instrument rather than library:

    Open the instrument, point Kontakt at the correct sample folder/s, re-save the patch (in the instrument's folder, but under a new name).

    Load the instrument using the new patch. The new patch should hopefully not ask you where the samples/UI resources are stored.

    Batch resave can also help overall loading times of everything

    I think you must be on Windows. I couldn't see how to do this on mac. I maybe missing something but the particular instrument doesn't seem to have an option to save it in the way you described.
    What file holds the info on telling the instrument whete to find the samples? Maybe I can edit that?
