The latest cracked versions of Komplete Kontrol and Maschine do not recognize the previews. Even if you have installed the Native Browser Previews Library (the cracked one, which is 7GB), you cannot benefit from the prehear function.

Fortunately, there is a manual workaround for the problem and it is working 100%. I have tested it with KK, but not with Maschine yet.

In a few words, you need to paste the ".previews" folders from NBPL to all the respective Kontakt libraries and synths, or anyway to those you use most.

The drawback is that this is a time consuming and tedious task, so be prepared for a lot of work! (There are some libraries, such as Ethno World 6, with hundreds of subfolders, and you have to paste the previews to each one separately!)

On the other hand, this changes everything for us KK and Maschine users.

I upload two pdfs with all the information you'll need.

Previews is a freeware.
but the key is not installed by Native Access on every OS.

on windows your still can force the key with a regedit hack, to show it in Native Access and enable the download.

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Native Instruments\Native Browser Preview Library]
"ContentDir"=""

My testing included the UPID number for the libraries I have installed in my system. The numbers match the numbers of the pdf. It seems that the "personal identity" is not very personal at all, but it is a single code number for every library. Just copy the number from the pdf and make a search for it in the NBPL folder (again, the 7GB one).
This pdf is not from my pc.

Maybe you should add "(PC)" in the title, because on macOS it's not an issue.

 

Ni changed the name of the regedit key (it is not previews anymore)

now it is called "Native Browser Preview Library"

if you are on mac, add this code in terminal.

Code:

PRODUCT=("Native Browser Preview Library")
for product in "${PRODUCT[@]}"
do
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.native-instruments."$product".plist Name "$product"
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.native-instruments."$product".plist ContentDir
Users/Shared
done

you may need x code installed before.

Code:

xcode-select --install

the UPID is the same on every machine.
i checked the previews on a PC.

you should create a parser to make the job automatically from the Native Access.xml file
using the Library name to extract the coresponding UPID and write the files in the Library folder.
