While I have owned most of the Komplete series, going back to Komplete 3, and am now running Komplete 8 Ultimate, with additional updates (but not the Ultimate versions), of Komplete 9 and Komplete 11. I've had K5 for a long time and so far I haven't seen a need to upgrade.
I hope the above helps - congrats on picking up the full-fledged Kontakt.

Once that folder is created, you can copy/paste your free Kontakt libraries into that User Libs folder, and from that point on, you can stay on the default display list of Kontakt libraries, and when you want to go to one of your additional libraries, just go to the Kontakt Factory Library, expand the Instruments tab, then navigate to that User Libs folder, and you will have access to any libraries you added to that folder. Then, add a new folder within that list of folders - I suggest calling it User Libs. Double-click to get into the Instruments folder, and you will see folders, such as: Band, Choir, Orchestral, etc., just like you would see if you opened up Instruments from the main Kontakt window for the factory library.
Click on 'Open Containing Folder', and it opens up the folder where all of the Kontakt Factory Library instruments live. What you do to make this happen: Scroll down the list of factory included libraries, until you get to the Kontakt Factory Library, then click on the little arrow to the right of the 'Instruments' tab that is right below the icon with Kontakt Factory Library - this will open a little drop-down menu. I found that I can add any of my free libraries or even the paid ones that still do not display like the ones that come with Kontakt - anyways, I can add whichever of my additional libraries I choose, to end up being accessed through the factory-supplied libraries in their default display list. You CAN switch the display to Files, rather than the default Libraries, but that gets annoying. Leaving the max number of instruments for a single Kontakt instance at 4-5, and that issue does not occur.ģ) When you DO pick up additional libraries, unless they have paid Native Instruments a fee for it, those libraries will not display in the regular list of Kontakt libraries on the left side of the Kontakt instance. It just looks better that way.Ģ) I never load up more than 4-5 instruments into a single instance of Kontakt, because (at least at one point), otherwise after somewhere around 5 (might be 6) or more instruments in the Kontakt instance, when you are assigning the Outputs for the audio tracks for each instrument, the displayed list of Kontakt output channels starts to get garbled up. So, instead of leaving it as some long garbled instrument name for the grand piano instrument I loaded, I rename that output channel to simply say Piano, and same with the other output channels. (it tries to stuff each output channel with a squished name of the associated instrument). THEN, what I do is to rename each output in the output section, to a more concise name than it gives them. Anyways, here is a good helpful practice: Click on Batch Functions, then on the option to clear the output section and create a separate stereo output for each loaded instrument.

Here are some links to a bunch of free Kontakt libraries, to give you an idea of the kind of things out there:ĭo not limit yourself to the above - just go look for free libs, and you will find a bunch of them - I have just shy of 200 of them.ġ) When you load up multiple instruments into a single instance of Kontakt, make sure the 'Output Section' is made visible (up at the top of the Kontakt window there are options for what gets displayed). Do a Google search for the following search terms, and you will see a bunch of links to free Kontakt libraries: free Kontakt librariesĪs far as paid libraries, Digital Sound Factory has a bunch of them - there is a DSF Proteus Pack that has HUNDREDS of really nice sounds from all of the various Proteus hardware synths that were produced - that is well worth its reasonable cost. There are some free libraries out there, and the ones that come with Kontakt are a good starting point.
