I get a lot of questions when it comes to adding libraries to Kontakt.
Especially for those who first learned of Kontakt through the Kontakt Player.
Any libraries made for Kontakt Player show up or can be added to the library tab so they show up on the left side of Kontakt.
However there are TONS of Kontakt format libraries that are not licensed specifically for the player, these libraries cannot be added to the library tab….officially.
So I wanted to make a quick video showing how toΒ organizeΒ other Kontakt libraries that you can’t add to the library tab so that you can still quickly access them.
Hopefully this helps you out, let me know if you have any questions!
thanks man, i was just lookin smth about this this morning!
Nice man, glad to help!
THANKS A MILLLION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this has been an issue for a long time and I just gave up on Kontakt! Good lookin G!
good stuff fam, thanks for the comment!
anytime fam…keep da good stuff comin! Question…know of any good hip hop fxb for sylenth1?
No doubt fam, that’s what’s up. Not sure about the question though I don’t have Sylenth.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa???? Not a fan????
Just never got it lol, people say it’s nice but I never got into it π
i’d love to see ya review it….so far its pretty sweet…its got a real high quality sound and TONS of fxb (expansions)
Heard good things about it, people dig it!
This is tremendously helpful! Thank you!!
Cool fam glad to help!
SJ: Thanks for this tutorial. “My error has been solved”.
Cool, glad to help
Another method is to just copy the folder containing library that isn’t found inside of another library that is licensed. Then they show up under that library.
I usually just put them in my default Kontakt Library folder, and they show up!
Yep, I’m just very particular, I don’t like dissimilar libraries showing up under the same product LOL. But I do take products from the same company and do that π
what up man this is Hasznone from the Maschine Family once again you are the cat in the Kontakt/Native Instruments hat another long awaited Jewel!! Definitely something I’ve always wondered about, thanks again for the perfected workflow tip!
No doubt fam glad to help!
This have been very useful. It simplifies the workflow. I have another problem that I find cumbersome to deal with: is there a quick way to unload a multi? The only way I have found so far is to kill all its loaded elements.
Many tx.
Go to the file menu at the top, and click “reset multi”
I’m gonna love this even more now man thanks a lot
Yeah fam glad to help!
I’ve purchased Modern billboard library from Studiolinkedvst and when i load it up in my Kontakt 5 free player, it shows up as a demo. Can you help me out with that problem?
You need the full version of Kontakt to use that library, it’s not a Kontakt player library it will always put Kontakt into demo mode for 30 minutes.
Thank you so munch we been doing this for about a week and half, keep getting the error no library found , I’ll try this later I’m so glad I found. You, you are the best. Thank you
hiοΌ
I’m using K5 and I need to re-add a few libraries such as K4 every time it loads up, any suggestion how i can make it stay? thx!
Your libraries should stay put however you don’t need the k4 library in k5 as k5 library has the same instruments. Any reason you are using the k4 library?
Hey I have a question. I have the Colossus Library Files that I understand you have to load into Kontakt? I have Kontakt 5 as a Stand-Alone as well as a Plugin for FL Studio. When I try to load one of the instruments into Kontakt it gives me “This patch cannot be loaded! Make sure that the original library is properly activated.” I’ve tried a bunch of different things, still cant seem to figure it out. Any help brotha?
Did you activate the library?
I’m getting the same library error even when I installed and activated Session Horns in Kontact 5.1. Any suggestions?
make sure you’re adding the folder with the instruments in it
install “NI service center 2.3.2” this fix that issue…
http://co.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=freeupdates#NI_Service_Center
Here’s the fix from Native Instruments that finally worked for m
e.
In order to solve this problem, you must completely uninstall and reinstall
the [NI LIBRARY] including all installation information.
*Anti-Virus & Security*
*Please disable any anti-virus, spy-ware protection, and/or any other Internet
security software before proceeding. It is important that the Registry in Windows
(XP/Vista/ 7) is accessible by installers and uninstallers. Without this the
inability to resolve the issue will occur.
Please proceed to uninstall via the Add/Remove Programs control panel (Windows XP)
or the Programs and Features (Vista / 7) from the Control Panel. You must also
deactivate the User Account Control in Windows Vista / 7 (32bit/64bit).
Deactivating UAC is quite easy, hereβs what you need to do:
Windows 7 (32/64-bit)
* Go to the START Menu, type “UAC” in the START SEARCH and press enter. You
will see in the search results “Change User Account Control settings”.
* Click “Change User Account Control Settings”.
* You will see a graphical ‘slider’. Manually click and drag the ‘virtual
slider’ all the way down to the ‘Never Notify’ setting and click on OK (button).
* You can now close the User Accounts home page. You need to reboot the
computer for changes to apply.
(Note that you can re-enable UAC by manually click and drag the ‘virtual slider
back to the ‘Default’ setting (second position from the top) and click on OK (button).
*Registry Editing*
In some more difficult cases, you may the need to manually remove files from the
Registry in Windows. This can be done with the Registry Editor as follows:
*Please note that the Registry is in many ways the backbone of the system. Please
be careful to not delete any files that are not mentioned here. You may render
your operating system useless. This will result in a re-installation of Windows
from scratch.
* *1.Open the Registry Editor.
The most common and quickest way to launch this application is press the WINDOWS
button (aka Start Menu/ Windows Logo button) and the letter “R” on your keyboard.
This will open the “RUN” command tool. In the open field, here you type “regedit”
(without the quotes) and press ENTER.
(Alternatively you can click on the Start menu and then: (XP) click on “RUN”_
OR_(VISTA / 7) in the Start Search; please type ‘regedit’ here.)
* *2.Find and Delete an entry.
Windows Vista/ 7 (64-bit)
Please expand the folders until you reach the folder in question at both of the
following locations:
01. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Native Instruments\**APPLICATION NAME HERE**
02. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Native Instruments\**APPLICATION NAME
HERE**
(If you have the right folder selected [highlighted folder name] when the bottom
of the window reads:
01. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Native Instruments\**APPLICATION NAME HERE**
02. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Native Instruments\**APPLICATION NAME
HERE**
Please right click on folder to get the “Delete” option. Select the “Delete”
function. When prompted with “Are you sure you want to permanently delete this key
and all of its subkeys?” Please select Yes.
*Re-Installation*
Please then reinstall from the original installer DVD. Remember to update to the
latest version of the software. You can download and install the latest update
that is available in our Update Manager (either in the Service Center or on our
website: http://www.native-instruments.com).
That’s crazy, shouldn’t even need to do all that especially for their own libraries. That’s wild man smh.
Wow! This helped me solve my issue but not by following those steps…. I just ran Kontakt as Administrator and readded the library. They show up every time now even without running as admin again. So simple!
Cool. This video is dealing with “non” Kontkat PLayer libraries, the ones that don’t show on the left in the browser. But glad you got your stuff working!
anyone have any good leads on where to obtain creative commons or public domain voice samples (via the internet), like from speeches, old movies or what have you..any help would be greatly appreciated..

thanx 4 ur help SJ!
no problem fam!
wherer can i get free good sounds 4 trap music?
I don’t know about free but checkout studiolinkedvst
there ARE a bunch of free VSTI’s out there..though they arent geared towards anything but sound…how i look at its kinda impossible to make one specific VSTi for a specific genre…i mean i can take a walmart casio and make some dope trap sounds ya dig?…but peep these…http://www.musicradar.com/tuition/tech/the-27-best-free-vst-plug-ins-in-the-world-today-277953/1
hope that helps ya some, happy trappin..
Agreed, sound is sound, but I get a lot of questions on genre specific plugins, I only know very few that make stuff genre specific, but plenty of free stuff out there with various sounds that work in all types of genres.
Also check kvraudio and search their plugin database for free stuff. I also listed some free plugins here a while ago,

Also there are many new free ones around like alchemy player and aas player

Im having an issue with installing SWAGG vst….im getting the the same issue no library found…can you help me
Swagg is a player library make sure you’re adding the right folder the one with the instruments on it
I took all the right steps …still having the same issue
Only thing I can think of is you’re not adding the right folder, if there are too many levels between the folder and content it won’t work.
I removed all the registry entries but It still says that I have a previous version installed. I don’t know what else to do.
previous version of what?
Of Kontact. Actually my problem was that the installation was aborted and when I tryed to install it again it says that I already have a full version installed. I can’t erase it completely, even erasing the reg entries.
Hmmm, that’s weird, usually you could just reinstall it and it should work
It seems that I wasn’t erasing all the lines in register. I finally uninstalled it completelly.
Thanks!
Cool man, glad you got it!
Hi!
What can I do when I manually add the library and then I get a message “This patch is encrypted and cannot be loaded unless the respective Library is registered properly”?
Help!
You need to register the library with a serial number
Thanks!! Help me out a lot!
no doubt fam!
RE No Library Found:
Great tip – saved the day! Thank you!
Glad to help!
Thanks! Saved me some time!
Glad to help!
I’ve been struggling for three months to find a way to fix the (Demo mode) when I use the studiolinkedvsts in my kontakt 5 that I purchased with activation key and everything. everytime i play the sounds it’s only available for 30 minutes after it says demo time out. I even Uninstalled it and install it again but i’m having the same problem.
I would appreciate your help. Thank’s
It sounds like you’re using kontakt player and not the full verison of kontakt, which is why you get the demo when trying to load non kontakt player files
Thank’s but .. How can I do to get the full version because this kontakt is from the komplete 8 that I bought 6 months ago
If you have always “library not found error”, and if you have too the following message: “this patch is encrypted and cannot be loaded unless the respective library is registered properly kontakt” just turn off your antivirus software…
Interesting find, thanks for the comment.
nope, whenever I want to load them just as you did i got this message saying “The patch is encrypted and cannot be loaded unless the respective Library is registered properly”
Then if I open kontakt as admin. I can add the library freely with no problem. But if I open my daw and load the kontakt, said library has dissapeared and so on, here I cannot add the library. I tried oppening my daw as admin but wont solve a thing. π
Very weird, especially if it’s a Kontakt Player library. I would check your folder permissions on the Kontakt/library folders to make sure you have full access.
“The patch is encrypted and cannot be loaded unless the respective Library is registered properly” …can not do anything with that..i have downloaded the kontakt factory library(23 gb) from torrentz.and there is no library installation file..iam using konakt 5.3.0. can u anyone please hlp!
I do not help anyone that chooses to steal software.
dis thing i tried but its not working :'(
It works, make sure you’re adding the proper folder with the instrument files in it.
I made one folder for konkatk instruments….other instruments in that folder are work i tried quick load process but its not work same problem
I’m not sure what you mean by it’s not working. If you point to the folder with the instruments in it, it will add them to the quickload. This is really for “non player” libraries. But if you don’t add the right folder level it will not work. It will only go through so many sub folder levels.
Yeah actually my instruments are inside many folders…so what shuld i do
Add the main folder for each collection, like have your instruments no more than 2 or 3 levels deep.
I tried dat but its not work.its ask add library first.ven i go to add it says dat no library found
If it’s a player library, you’ll need to add it in the regular browser and make sure it’s the main folder, not a folder with a sub folder of the product in it.
Its 23gb library.I have placed it on desktop bt den also its not working same problem.vich version of kontatk ur using?
I didnt understood regular library.i mean is der any specific folder ver i have to place my instruments?
The size doesn’t matter, nor the location, just that you’re adding the proper folder structure. Can you browse directly to the folder and open the instruments, or can you drag one directly into Kontakt, does it work at all?
No i tried everything to open but its not working….vich version of kontakt u using
Version 5
I’m to using dat i have download from NI website….dey snd me link on my gmail
If it’s Kontakt Player this won’t work, this only works with the full version, otherwise it will go into demo mode.
So from where should i download kontakt….plz help me.can u snd me link
No, the full version isn’t free, you can purchase it from NI or any store that sells software.
Thanks for this, it wasn’t obvious to me how to do it!
Glad to help fam!
Hi, I have loaded Mr Sax in my kontakt, but if i load an instrument, there is no sound, there is a message saying turn on CC# no. I don’t understand what exactly is this. Please explain
I haven’t used it, you may want to contact their support. Also make sure you’re playing in the proper keyrange.
Many thanks SaintJoe, nice that you’re so succinct. Been struggling with this for a while…and you resolved it all in a couple of minutes. Hope something really nice happens for you today, thanks man :o)
Glad to help man! I try to keep the tips as quick as I can so people can get what they need and move on π
you are a god. thank you
Glad to help fam!
bro i need your help, i downloaded introninja kontakt library folders and everything works up to the point where its asking me to activate with the service center. how can i avoid this?
Not sure what product that is, but if it’s asking you to activate it then you need to enter the serial number to use it. If you’re saying it’s a commercial library that you downloaded and don’t have as serial for it then I can’t help you with that.
Hello please help me
I suffer from a problem in KONTAKT 5
The error message says: problem in kontakt:this patch is encrypted and cannot be loaded unless the respective library is registered properly.
Is there a solution, help me
You need to register the library by entering the serial number in service center.
Yo man I have Kontank 5 and I have files like .nkx .nkc .nki that when I go into library and try tu upload them it says that these patches are encrypted and cannot be loaded unless the respective Library is registered properly. Moreover if I go and click directly on the files it will action but won’t work/open. Don’t know if you can help me with this man π
You have to register them like it says, they are kontakt player libraries which you register through Native Access.
For some reason it doesn’t recognise them on Native Access though..
It won’t until you activate it, you have to use “add serial” to add it in there.
I guess mine are crack versions, so I don’t have a serial number
sorry I can’t help, I don’t help or support stealing products.
Thanks anyway pal π
Tnx men. you solve my boring problem.
oh no i thought it fixed. i got this error: your new library needs to be added before this instrumental can be used. please go to Kontakt’s libraries tab and press the add library button.
i want to install “Kontakt Factory”
That means it is a kontakt player library and it needs to be authorized before you can use it
Yo, bro. I got this damn issue… what can i do?!
*This instrument belongs to a library that is currently not installed.*
Sounds like the library needs to be properly activated through Native Access.
did you solve this problem Andrew as I currently have the same thing?
It needs to be activated with the serial through Native Access
