Installation Guide

Note: The license key/redemption code you received by email is not a Native Instruments serial number. Since our libraries aren’t encoded for the Kontakt Player, you don’t need to authorize them in Native Access.

How to install your new library:

  • If you don’t have it already, go to https://pulsedownloader.com and install the free Pulse downloader app for your operating system.

No Native Access Required

  • Launch the Pulse app. If you don't have one, create a free Pulse account.

  • Find the email you received from our payments partner, FastSpring. You will receive a separate email for each product you purchased. This is true for bundles as well. From the email, copy the license key for the product you wish to install. Be aware, this is not a Native Instruments serial number and your library does not need to be authorized in Native Access.

  • Your library is ready to use! To load one of the sounds, use the Files tab in the Kontakt browser to navigate to the instruments folder in the location where you installed the library. Or, you can simply drag a .nki file straight from the installation directory directly into the Kontakt rack.

Tip

In Kontakt 7, it’s possible to add non-player libraries to the main Kontakt browser using the new user content feature.

It's also easy to save your favorite instruments to the Quick-load catalog, which is an under-used but very powerful organizational tool in Kontakt.
