How to Make Your Libraries show up in the Library Section of Kontakt 6

[TheSteven]

From Abyss Kontakted web site:

Quote

Kontakt 6 does not have the ability to add user a Library[,] some users have had success using 6 by loading there library into an older version and then swap to 6 to use them

This may only apply to version 4.0 (they are now on v4.5) but doesn't say on web site whether they ever found a way around the issue.

Thanks for all these hints. I like the one John Maar posted. May have to fork out 20 for Kontakted as well. There is a free converter available that I could never get to work (sorry, forgot the name)

Regarding the video Larry first referenced, there is a simplification that can be done so you don't have to ping pong between versions every time you need to add a library that doesn't load properly.

When Kontakt 5 is installed, the add library tab is linked to AddLibrary.exe in the main folder. This is not installed in ver 6. You can still use this standalone for 6 by executing the file and going thru the directions. Only for already made library files that don't show up and does nothing to activate them. If you got K6, revert back to 5 long enough to copy the AddLibrary.exe file. Upgrade again to ver 6 which will erase the file in the original location.

If you don't want the fancy picture block, this seems to be a straight forward way to get your
3rd party libraries on the list...
