You can still download some third-party Instruments for Kontakt player, but those vendors need to pay for a license so you can use their software and that is expensive. Even the limited version is amazing and it does come with a lot of great free instruments. Once everything is installed you will have a limited version of Kontakt and you can now install some third-party instruments. Make sure you get Komplete Start as that will have many of the free instruments. Then use the apps to install the software.

These products will show up in the Native Access app once you add them. Using the page in the previous step click on all the free products you want and add them to your account. Simply click the icon in the top right corner and enter the same email and password you used to create your account. Go back to the Native Instruments website by clicking this link and log into the website with the new account you made using Native Access. Use Native access to install KONTAKT Player and Reaktor Player. Download Native access and use it to create your account.

Here is how to install the free Kontakt Player with all the free libraries. but their install app makes this a simple process. A manual install of several software products from Native Instruments can be a complicated process. In addition to the free Kontakt Player and free Reaktor player, they make many other great products. Instances of Kontakt 6 have no Quickload menu right now, but that's no issue as I'll create one as needed.Native Instruments is one of my favorite Software Synth companies. A project that used Kontakt 5 still opened up using Kontakt 5, and my Kontakt 5 Quickload menu seems to be just fine. Is that the case, or is it just that Quickload is not copied over to 6 automatically and you have to do it yourself manually?ĮDIT: I just installed Kontakt 6, and all is well. Two questions:ġ) After installing 6, will my current projects continue to open up using 5?Ģ) Will I need to back-up and then reinstall my Kontakt 5 Quickload file after installing 6? I seem recall an earlier thread that said installing 6 could mess up 5's Quickload. That's because all my current libraries run great in Kontakt 5 and there's always a chance that problems will arise with 6 (like this ). I'm planning on continuing to run all my Kontakt 5 libraries using Kontakt 5, and only load and use Kontakt 6 for any new libraries that require 6. Just purchased the update to Komplete 12.
