 BASSYNTH – Installation Instructions

Installation & Activation

There are two main steps to getting started with BASSYNTH:

Step 1 - Installation:
1. Download all 6 BASSYNTH Zip files from your account (these are the files with 001,
002, 003 etc at the end of the file name) Ensure all 6 Zip files are 100% downloaded
before moving on to point 2 below.

2. Unpack the Zip files together using 7-Zip (if on PC) or Keka If on Mac.

3. After successfully unpacking the Zip files you should now see a single folder named
‘BASSYNTH’, which should be around 10.9 GB (or slightly larger) in size. Take note
of where this folder is located because you will reference this location in the next step.
It is very important that the file structure is maintained within the ‘BASSYNTH’ folder.
If you do not own Kontakt 6, you will need to install the free Native Instruments Kontakt 6
Player which you can download here - Kontakt Player Download Link

Step 2 - Activation:
1. Open Kontakt or Kontakt Free Player and navigate to the ‘Libraries’ tab in the top left
corner of Kontakt. Now click the ‘Manage Libraries’ button directly underneath this
and click the ‘Launch Native Access’ button from within the window that pops up.

2. Once logged in to Native Access, click the ‘Add a serial’ header at the top left of the
menu. You will now be prompted to enter your BASSYNTH serial number. Copy and
paste your BASSYNTH serial into this box and then click the ‘+ Add Serial’ button.
(Your serial number will be sent to your e-mail address automatically after purchasing BASSYNTH. It is also
available in your account on our website)

3. After entering your serial number, you will now be prompted to browse to the
‘BASSYNTH’ folder. Simply click the ‘Browse’ button on this page and navigate to the
‘BASSYNTH’ folder that you have previously unpacked (see Step 1 – Installation
above). It is important that you select the ‘BASSYNTH’ folder itself and not any of the
folders’ subfolders. Now click ‘Open’ or ‘Select Folder’ (if on PC).

4. Once you have followed these steps, BASSYNTH should now be installed correctly in
Kontakt’s ‘Libraries’ tab. To make sure it appears as a pane in the libraries tab, you
may need to refresh the tab in Kontakt by clicking the refresh icon to the left of the
‘Manage Libraries’ button.
Please note: We highly recommend updating to the latest version of Kontakt / Kontakt
Player from within Native Access before activating BASSYNTH.

Batch Re-Save

Kontakt itself.

2. Select ‘Batch re-save’

3. Confirm the warning message by pressing ‘Yes’

4. Navigate and Select the main ‘BASSYNTH’ folder. Be sure to choose the same
‘BASSYNTH’ folder you referenced before when adding BASSYNTH as a library within
Kontakt.

5. Done. You should now see faster loading times.

Troubleshooting
Below you will find answers to frequently asked questions regarding install process and
troubleshooting:

1. Upon loading BASSYNTH, Kontakt displays a message that files are missing.
This Suggests that the Zip files did not extract properly, or the files did not 100% download /
complete before extracting.
Please ensure that all 6 Zip files are fully downloaded to the same location on your
computer before extracting them. Please ensure that each Zip file is the following size:
Part 001 should be: 2GB
Part 002 should be: 2GB
Part 003 should be: 2GB
Part 004 should be: 2GB
Part 005 should be: 2GB
Part 006 should be: 900MB (or slightly larger)

2. I am having troubles extracting the Zip Files.

We used a format called 7-Zip for compressing the files. Please firstly follow the previous
point above and ensure all Zip files are the correct sizes and downloaded to the same
location on your computer / hard drive.
If using a Windows system, please use ‘7-Zip’ to extract the Zip files. 7-Zip can be
downloaded for free HERE
If using Mac, please use ‘Keka’ to extract the Zip files. Keka can be downloaded for free
HERE
After extraction, the final ‘BASSYNTH’ folder should be 10.9GB (or slightly larger) in size.

3. BASSYNTH disappears from Kontakt’s Library Tab?

• Download and install the latest version of Kontakt, which is available via Native Access.
• Close Native Access, open it again and log in. During the launch process Native Access
will update the database of your products automatically in the background.
• Start Kontakt standalone. BASSYNTH should be available again.

4. I have activated BASSYNTH, but I’m not seeing it in Kontakt.

• In Kontakt click the Cog Icon to go to the Settings menu

• Navigate to the ‘Libraries’ tab
• Tick the box next to BASSYNTH
