Adicionando Libraries no Kontakt

Descrição: Tutorial sobre como adicionar uma nova biblioteca de instrumentos virtuais no Kontakt

Criando um arquivo .ncint

Work with the file. Nicnt.

1 - Rename the file. The name you can use any (name of the root of any libraries not affect anything),
do not use the Cyrillic alphabet.

2 - Open the file. Nicnt with a text editor Notepad ++ and start to edit it:

In order not to miss anything, we use the function "AutoCorrect." Use the tag "put your library name" and
replace them by name, which you have already registered the file. Nicnt. "Search more - Replace". It's
simple, like a bucket of nails
Procedure done "Search more - Replace".

The string "<SNPID> aa0 </ SNPID>" also requires revision.


You must change the registration number of the individual library.
aa0 - default registration number, used for example.
Each new library should have its own unique registration number.
restriction of range of letter symbols in a row <SNPID>ххх</SNPID>.
Valid range of literal characters: a-f. Take this into account.
Valid range of characters tsifernyh - the former: 0-9

Individual registration number of the library should contain only alphabetic or alphanumeric-digit
combination. Do not use the Cyrillic alphabet
Individual registration number of the library should not only consist of tsifernoy combination.
Save the changes to the file. Nicnt and close the text editor.

3 - Open the NI Kontakt. Bookmark Libraries. Add Library. Specify the path to the root directory of the
library. Library added.
Do not use the Cyrillic alphabet in the path to the root directory of libraries

Adicionando a Library

1- Create a directory and name it as your nki sample's library. i.e. I have the PinkNoise Revolver
package and I named the custom library directory as "PinkNoise Revolver Library".

2- Create 2 directories as "Instruments" and "Samples" inside your Library. If you have nkm files in your
package then also create "Multis" directory.

3- Put the nki files inside the "Instruments" directory and the samples into "Samples" directory. Put the
nkm's into "Multis" if you have any.

4- Open Terminal and execute these lines: (These lines are for the example above and the desktop is
mine also so change them)
cat /dev/null > "/Users/uphuck/Desktop/PinkNoise Revolver_info.nkx"
cat /dev/null > "/Users/uphuck/Desktop/PinkNoise Revolver_info.nkc"
Put these 2 files into your newborn Kontakt Library directory.

5- Also put a 574x99 resolution wallpaper.png image file into your Library directory. (optional)

6- Open Terminal and execute this line:


sudo plutil -convert xml1 /Library/Preferences/com.native-instruments.Content.plist
Then copy /Library/Preferences/com.native-instruments.Content.plist file to your desktop and open it
using Textedit.
You will need to add 2 lines for your new Kontakt Library. Make sure that the k2lib value you enter is
different than the existing ones.
The lines that I added for the example:

<key>k2lib0600</key>
<string>PinkNoise Revolver</string>
Save the file and move it back to /Library/Preferences directory.
Run the Kontakt and add your custom library by using the "Add Library" button.

7- The directories that the nki files search for their samples is changed by moving them. So open the nki
files under the "Instruments" menu of Kontakt and point the "Samples" directory. Save/overwrite the nki
instruments and that's all.
