Using PlugIn manager to install Kontakt Libraries

[Leighton Cooper]

I am trying to understand plugIn manager and I have gotten the synths and FX organized, but For example Reaktor and Kontakt both have libraries associated with them.  can I import the different Kontakt Instruments into PlugIn manager.  Can I put Razor and other reaktor stuff in reaktor?  How do I do this?  Thanks in advance.

I am not sure that you can, as the plugin manager deals with single discrete VSTs at a time - Cakewalk would see Kontakt as a single discrete VSTi.

On a side note, I am imagining that saving Simple Instrument Tracks (SITs) as track templates, with an instance of Kontakt with the appropriate instrument(s) loaded might be close to what you are after.

Note: I do not have any version of Kontakt, so one one who does, might be able to blow away every thing I just said.

The documentation from NI will tell you how to install libraries.

No,  the plugin manager doesn't do that. Kontakt is the plugin, not the individual libraries within.

Thanks for explaining that.  By the way, Around December Arturia, Native Instruments Komplete  Cherry Audio and Band in a Box  synthesizers go on sale for 1/2 price.  What I do is wait until those  and buy them then.  All those companies make excellent products and I support them.
