If you’re unsure whether it has crashed or is simply extracting files, visit the installation folder you chose when you started the install. There could be hundreds of GB of content to unpack, so it really can take hours.

This is because our libraries are often very large files, and this is the stage where the compressed files are extracted and placed in their final locations on the hard drive. Library Manager freezes in the “Extracting” stage for hours.

To solve this problem use a drive with more space (the size you’ll need during install is listed on the website page of the product you bought). So briefly during install, there are two copies of the library on disk. This is because your library is downloaded compressed, then uncompressed into a separate location, then the original is deleted. Free space on your hard drive, please allow at least double the space for the respective library.We recommend NTFS on PC and Mac OS Extended (journaled) on Mac.

To solve this problem, reformat your drive to a more modern format, or use a different drive.

The formatting of your drive, if it is FAT32 this will cause errors, because there is a maximum file size with this format of 4GB and our download files will exceed this limit.

If you find that you are having some trouble, please check the list below for possible causes. Instead, these libraries will simply need to be loaded via the Kontakt files browser or alternatively you can add the library as a favourite to the Kontakt Quick Load window.Ĭustomers may find that they have some difficulties in the downloading process. Please note that non-Player library instruments will not appear on the Kontakt libraries pane and so can’t be added as a library as Player libraries need to be. Then you can also load ‘non-Player’ libraries like our Harp, Piano, Harpsichord, Solo Strings etc. If the library you want to use is NOT a ‘Player’ library then you need to buy the full retail version of Kontakt. You can find our product compatibility list HERE.

As you will already own the free Kontakt player and have bought one of our ‘player’ libraries you will be eligible for a discount upgrade to Kontakt via the NI website. If you want to go deeper into editing you’ll need a full version. Also, unlike non-Player libraries, these libraries will also have a banner that appears on the Kontakt Libraries pane. The Kontakt Player gives you access to all the sounds and all the editable parameters on the front panel only. Essentially, the developer buys you this playback engine. It works with libraries that the developer has paid a license fee for.

Kontakt Player is a FREE version of the Kontakt sample playback engine available to download HERE.
