Vernon, Not sure if we gave you too much product when you comment about 700+ Instruments. As to Snapshots versus Instruments, according to the Kontakt manual found here: https://www.native-instruments.com/ni-tech-manuals/kontakt-player-manual/en/snapshots Snapshots are properly stored in the default user local Content storage per this example copied from the above manual: Mac OS X: Macintosh HD/Users/<User Name>/Documents/Native Instruments/User Content/Kontakt Factory Library/Electric Grand/Triple Peaks.nksn Windows: C:\Users\<User Name>\My Documents\Native Instruments\User Content\Kontakt Factory Library\Yangqin\.nksn Therefore, using Snapshots would then require us to either use a setup installation program to properly store the Snapshots in the correct location OR require the user to create a correctly named folder in the user's local storage area and then have them manually copy the Snapshots from a Snapshots folder in the BSK Library into the manually created folder under the user's local storage. Obviously, the intent behind Snapshots in Kontakt is to allow users to create their own tweaked or revised versions of Instruments provided in a purchased Library without overwriting the original Instrument files rather than to provide a method of storing multiple Instruments in a commercial library. I know, some vendors to this but it is a clumsy way to organize and install a commercial library. Part of the intent behind the BSK GUI is to provide an interface that encourages end users to experiment with the source samples in creating their own versions. In fact, we provide "Template" Instruments for every sample set with the samples pre-mapped, as a starting point for users to go beyond the provided Instruments. These Template Instrument files can be duplicated in the file system or loaded and "saved as" with a new filename in Kontakt so that the user can save their newly created Instrument in the Library file structure instead of in local user storage as Snapshots if they prefer. Or they can use Snapshots if so desired. Respectfully, Rawl Gelinas GUI Creator of Blue Swells for Kontakt Library.
