Hi - I have numerous Kontakt 6 Portables installed on my Win system. Why? To divide up my hundreds of libraries in separate Kontakts according to type of content. I also have a non-portable Kontakt 6 installed.

This works just fine in Standalone mode - the Portables can all be open at the same time, no problem.

But when I try to do the same thing in my DAW gets confused, it can only see one of the vst3 dlls and one vst dll at one time.

Is there a way I can make the vst3 dlls (or the vst dlls) look 'different' to the DAW, so it will let me load them at the same time?

Renaming them doesn't work, neither does editing their settings.ini files. I've also tried using 6.4 and 6.5 as well as 6.6, but my DAW can't see the difference. Kontakt 5.8 Portable works fine alongside the others, but there are so many libraries that won't work in 5.8, so it's not a solution.

 

you can make fake type content folders with a generated nicnt and wallpaper, then place your lib inside.
you will have the name of the libs inside without graphics.

as a group
using only one kontakt.

 

Yes, thanks, I know. But I want to try and do it with separate instances of Kontakt so that each library can keep its wallpaper.
