how to install kontakt libraries for mac

Kontakt Libraries Download An Older

For the time being you have to change the Content Folder before installing every library - if you want to have them in a particular place, or a different hard drive.

I keep most of my libraries on an external drive, and when I try to add library in Kontakt, Native Access opens and prompts me to enter a serial number.

On my Native Access account, all of my libraries show as if they are uninstalled (the library is active on my account, just not installed).

Kontakt Libraries Download An Older

Any ideas Edit: The fix for now is to download an older version of Kontakt through the legacy download section.

You can add all of your libraries with the older version of Kontakt, and then update Kontakt.

Thats because NA wasnt the one who installed those libraries.

When I try to add Native Access opens, I dont get the option of choosing the folder on my drive anymore.

I think the issue is coming from the fact that my current version of Kontakt was installed by Native Access, but my libraries were not.

Up until this recent update, I was able to choose the library from a choose folder dialogue whenever I clicked add library.

Per their patch notes this is working as intended as part of the new update.

NA recognized all my previously installed Kontakt Player libraries though, without issues, despite the fact that NA wasnt used for installing them.

All of your libraries will now be there in the latest version.

If this is working as intended then it is really a poorly designed approach and should be completely re-designed.

There appears to be no clear pattern as I checked their paths and they are all correct.

I do not understand the comment about changing the Content directory in Native Access as I have libraries in various locations to spread them across multiple SSDs.

Now the install to 5.6.8 broke the library browser and there is no way to add the libraries back in.

The previous post implied that installing an older version would fix this but if the paths are currently correct (in the registry entries) why would this help I would think doing the same update to 5.6.8 would simply break it again.
