The Native Access Downloader is required to download our Free Kontakt Player/NKS-ready instruments. Don't have the Native Access Downloader? You can download it free here: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/specials/native-access/

Don't have the Free Kontakt Player? The Kontakt Player is required for all our NKS compatible instruments, you can download it here: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/samplers/kontakt-6-player/

If you are receiving a missing content message when loading up your instrument, this video walks you through how to batch resave any Kontakt library. Always select a single sample library folder at a time when batch resaving. Performing a Batch resave will correct the file paths of the samples within a library and speed up instrument load time.

Some of our libraries are designed exclusively for the full paid version of Kontakt and do not require activation in Native Access. These libraries will load via the Kontakt file browser, simply opening a .nki from the library instrument folder.

After every purchase an email will be sent shortly after with instructions explaining the download process. If you've purchased a library that is not NKS (Native Kontrol Standard) and your download does expire, please reach out to us. If you can't find your download info via email you can always login to your account via our website. The login icon is located at the top right of our page.

There are factors that can interrupt or slow the downloading process, so we put together a few troubleshooting steps to take. 

First, we recommend checking your internet speed, which can be done so here.

Anything above 100 Mbps is recommended for best results. 

Also check to see if there are firewalls possibly blocking your zip files from being downloaded/installed. 

A few more notes:

It's always best to download to an internal or a thunderbolt connected HD than an external USB HD as it’s a more stable destination for transferring data. 

We are hosted on industry standard Amazon S3 servers, but there are times of the day where traffic is busier than others, so downloading on off-hours could increase your speeds and can be more stable. 

As always, please reach out to us if you continue to have issues. Some of the information to provide that would be extra helpful is your ISP, operating system, location, and screenshots of any error messages. 

When you input your serial number into Native Access, you may see the message "The Serial Does Not Belong to a Known Product."

Occasionally, the servers throughout the world take a little time to synchronize after you register your serial number via Native Access.

If your not seeing an "INSTALL" button next to your NKS instrument try the following:

• Press the Refresh button at the top right which is located on the left of your Account Icon
• Then close and restart Native Access
• You should now see the "INSTALL" Button next to your Emergence Audio product
