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, or by simply opening a .nki from the library instrument folder. It will not appear in the library tab.

It depends on the Instrument. Please make sure to read the overview on each instrument you're interested in purchasing in detail. For example "Quantum" is NKS Compatible and can be used in the free Kontakt Player while "Quantum Steel Tongue" will require the full retail version of Kontakt and is not compatible with the free Kontakt Player.

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.
