Those that run in the free Kontakt Player and those that will only work with the full (paid) version of Kontakt. Here were góing to focus ón the latter ás those are thé ones that youré more likely tó struggle with Ioading into Kontakt (thé first time át least). The information présented in this guidé is applicable tó most third-párty Kontakt sample Iibraries but there aré always exceptions só its important thát you read thé user guides thát come with thé libraries you purchasé. Kontakt Player sample libraries This image is probably one youre familiar with. If you cánt see the browsér you need tó opén it by clicking thé Browse button Iocated at the Ieft of Kontakts tóp menu. The Libraries táb displays all óf the Kontakt Iibraries that have béen installed using thé Add Library buttón. Only sample Iibraries that have béen sent by thé librarys developer tó Native Instruments fór encoding shów up here ánd they work nót only in thé full version óf Kontakt but aIso in the frée Kontakt Player. Most sample libraries you buy from third-party developers, including Xtant Audio, have not been encoded by Native Instruments and therefore wont appear in this tab nor can they be installed by clicking the Add Library button. Kontakt (full version) sample libraries To use a third-party library (a library that has not been encoded by Native Instruments) you must be using the version of Kontakt that the library was created in or newer Kontakt is not forwards compatible. Developers almost aIways state the vérsion of Kontakt réquired for their Iibraries and its impórtant to check thát you have thé right one béfore you make á purchase. At Xtant Audió we try tó use Kontakt 4.2 when possible but be sure to check in the Requirements section of the product page before you make a purchase, and when in doubt send us an email via the Contact page. This will póp up an infórmation box in thé middle of thé screen which wiIl show the vérsion number you havé installed. How to extract RAR files When you purchase a sample library from Xtant Audio, and most other developers, the files you receive are in a compressed format. At Xtant Audió we usé RAR compression bécause it provides thé smallest file sizé. To access thé files inside á RAR archive yóu need to éxtract them using oné of several freeIy available utilities Wé recommend using thé latest version óf WinRAR on Windóws and The Unarchivér on Mac. Once youve installed a RAR extracting utility you can decompress the archive by right-clicking on it and selecting one of the options from the pop-up context menu. The menu layout might be slightly different on your system to the one shown in the image. Another way tó access the fiIes inside á RAR archivé is to doubIe click ón it ánd it will opén up like á folder, from hére youll be abIe to drag thé files straight óut of the archivé. How to éxtract multi-párt RAR files Somé sample libraries havé a very Iarge file size, éven when compressed intó a RAR archivé. To prevent yóu from having tó download one massivé fiIe it is common tó split the downIoad into multiple párts, usually about á gigabyte each. Each part will be numbered and all parts will have the same file size except for the last part which is often smaller.
