Which I have to do now when I add things/move things. nki/.nkm files stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Native Instruments\Kontakt 5\QuickLoad I've often considered building some tools to manage the Quickload links, so you could have a list of directories that you wanted maintained in the Quickload and it would remove the existing dir and rebuild it fresh. On Windows (not sure on Mac) it's just a bunch of directories with file links to the. The biggest problem with Quickload is it doesn't update if you move/change things. I think the way this new Kontakt works will be just fine, it's just different. NI has been steadfast at reserving that for products that pay license fees.

I actually wouldn't recommend nesting libraries into other libraries, as running an update could potentially wipe things out (theoretically shouldn't, but not worth the risk IMO).Quickload is the right answer but users do seem to like having things show up in the Library list. Faster again than scrolling through the libraries tab. I just have this jump straight to my master samples drive where all these third party libraries live. you can really get detailed here).Īnother tip that I don't think a lot of users realize, is that you can use 'quickjump' shortcuts in the 'view' tab of the 'Files' browser window (in K6, its called something different in K5). downers all together, sub hits all together, etc. for instance I have 'braaams' from just about every trailer instrument library in one place. You can also create custom folders of just the NKI instruments from various libraries into one place, and they all find their samples no problems (I went a bit nuts with my trailer folder. The benefit of being able to organize libraries as you like is huge, and like Jaap said, I never use the "Libraries" tab any more as its too cumbersome to scroll through once you get used to organizing the quickload as you like.

This is the best method IMO and what I typically recommend users who ask.
