Just keep in mind that if you open a library in K6 and save any changes to an instrument, you wont be able to open that instrument in K5.

When you open K5, all of your libraries will still be there, just as they were before.

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). K6 will find all of your Kontakt libraries and automatically add them without doing anything to K5. 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. Double click on nki instrument that you wish to add in Kontakt rack. Open the folder, order by size and it will expand the nki list first. 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. Via Browse icon: from Kontakt toolbar, click Browse icon (folder) and select the Magnus Choir folder location.

Instead of going any further into the folder structure. 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 can be easily done by navigating to your desired library folder using the File Browser method. This is the best method IMO and what I typically recommend users who ask.
