Most sample libraries you buy from third-party developers, including Xtant Audio, have not been encoded by Native Instruments and therefore won’t appear in this tab nor can they be installed by clicking the “Add Library” button.

Only sample libraries that have been sent by the library’s developer to Native Instruments for encoding show up here and they work not only in the full version of Kontakt but also in the free Kontakt Player. The Libraries tab displays all of the Kontakt libraries that have been installed using the “Add Library” button. If you can’t see the browser you need to open it by clicking the “Browse” button located at the left of Kontakt’s top menu. This image is probably one you’re familiar with. It’s the Libraries tab in Kontakt’s browser window. The information presented in this guide is applicable to most third-party Kontakt sample libraries but there are always exceptions so it’s important that you read the user guides that come with the libraries you purchase. Here we’re going to focus on the latter as those are the ones that you’re more likely to struggle with loading into Kontakt (the first time at least). Those that run in the free Kontakt Player and those that will only work with the full (paid) version of Kontakt. After all, Kontakt must KNOW where the NKI file is that it loaded, but I cannot see a reference to this in the loaded instrument anywhere.Kontakt sample libraries come in two flavours. Now I know that I could simply load up all the “String Ensemble” NKIs and compare with the original, but I was hoping for a more logical answer.

But how do I know which NKI has been loaded? I have several NKIs on my disc called “String Ensemble” my problem is how do I find out which one was loaded by Kontakt when I opened this song. What I want to do is replace this track with a Kontakt 4 instance and reload the same NKI.

I have loaded an older Logic project that contains a Kontakt 3 track with a single NKI called “String Ensemble”. I have a separate internal disc on which I store all my sample libraries (including the libraries that came with Kontakt 3 and 4, but many others from EastWest, Zero-G, Tonehammer, Project SAM etc.). I’m sorry but I don’t think I’m explaining myself very well.
