Native Instruments

Update of the popular sampler. Contact allows you to play and process previously recorded audio data – samples of musical instruments, sound effects, vocal tracks, etc. – but this is only a small part of the full range of its capabilities. In Vkontakte, you can use ready-made instruments from a huge number of libraries from third-party developers or create your own virtual instruments, apply powerful built-in processing modules to their audio signals, build complex performance schemes with various modulation links. Everything is possible – from the ultra-accurate recreation of real instruments to the creation of original instruments that are unlike anything else.Additional functionality:1. Activation of protected libraries is not required, the ability to register (add to bookmarks) in batch mode.2. Ability to edit patches of protected libraries.3. Possibility of resaving with samples patches of protected libraries.4. Ability to edit password-protected scripts.Features portable (PORTABLE) version :1. Installation, including additional software (Service Center, Native Access, MS VS C ++ runtime), is not required.2. All settings are saved in the program’s portable folder (the Windows registry and other system stores are not used, administrator rights are not required * ).3. Integrated Library Manager, which provides full control over protected libraries, and also allows you to register unprotected (self-made) libraries without generating nicnt files.4. Ability to work simultaneously with the installed version of the Contact without conflicts and with different settings.Notes:* Requires (super)administrator rights if the portable program folder is placed in a protected system storage (for example, in Program Files) – such a location for portable programs is unnatural and not recommended.Kontakt PORTABLE is not compatible with the NKS (Native Kontrol Standard):1. Instruments of NKS-compatible libraries added to Kontakt PORTABLE will not appear on the screen of an NKS hardware device (Komplete Kontrol or Maschine). Accordingly, they cannot be selected, previewed and downloaded directly from the device browser, but only through the interface of the Contact itself.2. The controls of an NKS-compatible library instrument loaded into the Kontakt PORTABLE are not automatically assigned to the controllers of the NKS device, only manually in the standard way for external MIDI devices (MIDI Learn).

Method 1 :Open your host settings and add the Kontakt7Portable\Kontakt 7\x64\VST3\ folder as an additional plugin scan folder. Please refer to your DAW manual for details.This method is suitable for hosts that do not limit themselves to scanning VST3 plugins only in the standard location (Cockos Reaper, Magix Samplitude,…)Method 2 :Run Kontakt7Portable\Install.exeOn the component selection page, select: created a link to the Kontakt PORTABLE VST3 plugin in the standard scan folder for VST3 plugins.

For the full operation of some libraries, it is not enough to download the library folder itself, you need to copy certain content from the library folder to one of the standard Windows folders in the user profile. Thus, some of the content of the library “scatters”, goes beyond the library folder.The search and storage of such files in Kontakt PORTABLE is redirected from the standard folders in the user profile to the Kontakt PORTABLE folder, namely to the UserData folder, where all the user data of the Contact is located.The general principle of installing scattered library content.You can find out in which folder these additional files should be uploaded from the manual, from the description or discussion of the distribution.In general terms like this: \ Native Instruments \rest of the path\ , where is either My DocumentsC:\Users\\Documents ,or Local Application DataC:\Users\\AppData\LocalWe get the path to the folder where we need to copy the files so that the library working from Kontakt PORTABLE “sees” them:1) Replace the path to the standard folder with the path to the UserData folder:\ Native Instruments \rest of path\2) Native Instruments is thrown out of the path (if any):\remaining path\3) If the rest of the path contains “Kontakt 5” (the old library from the time of the 5th Contact), then replace it with “Kontakt”Examples of installing scattered content.Vasya is involved in the examples, whohas a user profile here: C:\Users\Vasya\– standard folder Local application data, respectively, here: C:\Users\Vasya\AppData\Local\– standard folder My documents, respectively, here: C:\ Users\Vasya\Documents\– Contact is here: E:\KontaktPORTABLE\– All of His user data of the Contact is respectively here: E:\KontaktPORTABLE\UserData

Music Services – Drumasonic 2There are 2 additional installers in the distribution.On the topic pages we learn what these installers do:

That is, the license file my_drumasonic_license.nka must be placed in the Data folder with the rest of the nka files, then copy this entire folder to the standard folder Local application data , in our case for the installation Contact:C:\Users\Vasya\AppData\Local \Drumasonic\We replace the path to the standard folder Local Application Data with the path to the UserData folder:E:\KontaktPORTABLE\UserData\Drumasonic\The rest of the path ( Drumasonic\ ) does not contain “Native Instruments”, so we leave it as is.Create a folder E:\KontaktPORTABLE\UserData\Drumasonic\ and copy the Data folder with nka files into it.Installation completed.

Sample Logic – Modern Animated PercissionInformation from the manual: the Presets – MAPfolder must be placed for the 6th Contact in

We are talking about the My Documents folder, namely:C:\Users\Vasya\Documents \ Native Instruments \KontaktWe replace the path to the standard My Documents folder with the path to the UserData folder:E:\KontaktPORTABLE\UserData\ Native Instruments \KontaktWe remove Native Instruments from the path:E:\KontaktPORTABLE\UserData\KontaktCopy the folder Presets – MAP to E:\KontaktPORTABLE\UserData\KontaktInstallation completed.

Indiginus Samples – Renegade Electric GuitarInformation from the manual: theSnapshots \ Renegade folder must be placed in

We are talking about the My Documents folder, namely:C:\Users\Vasya\Documents \ Native Instruments \User Content\Kontakt\We replace the path to the standard My Documents folder with the path to the UserData folder:E:\KontaktPORTABLE\UserData\ Native Instruments \User Content\Kontakt\We remove Native Instruments from the path:E:\KontaktPORTABLE\UserData\User Content\Kontakt\Copy the Renegade folder with snapshots to E:\KontaktPORTABLE\UserData\User Content\Kontakt\Installation completed.

L.A. Scoring Strings 2In the distribution header we read:

Information from the distribution discussion: these are bad missing files, but there are no good ones in the distribution, but there is a link to the ARC 2.51.rar archiveWe are talking about the My Documents folder, namely:ARC folder for installed Contact 5th version should be here:C:\Users\Vasya\Documents \ Native Instruments \ Kontakt 5 \pictures\the ARC 2.51.nkp file for installed Contact 5th version should be here:C:\Users\Vasya\Documents \ Native Instruments \ Kontakt 5 \presets\MultiScripts\We replace the path to the standard My Documents folder with the path to the UserData folder:E:\KontaktPORTABLE\UserData\ Native Instruments \ Kontakt 5 \pictures\E:\KontaktPORTABLE\UserData\ Native Instruments \ Kontakt 5 \presets\MultiScripts\We remove Native Instruments from the paths:E:\KontaktPORTABLE\UserData\ Kontakt 5 \pictures\E:\KontaktPORTABLE\UserData\ Kontakt 5 \presets\MultiScripts\We replace “Kontakt 5” with “Kontakt” (we do not have the 5th, but the 6th version):E:\KontaktPORTABLE\UserData\Kontakt\pictures\E:\KontaktPORTABLE\UserData\Kontakt\presets\MultiScripts\Copy the ARC folder from the archive to E:\KontaktPORTABLE\UserData\Kontakt\pictures\Copy the ARC 2.51.nkp file from the archive to E:\KontaktPORTABLE\UserData\Kontakt\presets\MultiScripts\Installation completed.

Solution of problems:

Switch to programmatic rendering of the interface.Insert after line:[Contact Application]line:QT_QUICK_BACKEND=sz:softwarein the Contact settings file:KontaktPortable\UserData\Settings.cfg

Insert NoteChoke into effect chain before Contact or update Reaper to the latest version

Change the identifier (PluginId) in the plugin settings:VST3: KontaktPortable\Kontakt 7\x64\VST3\Settings.ini,after renaming the plugin or creating a copy of the plugin with a different name.The renaming is necessary so that the DAW rescans the plug-in after a restart, and does not use the old plug-in information obtained from the previous scan. Instead of renaming, you can use the appropriate utilities to change the modification date of the plugin file (Kontakt 7 Portable.vst3).In this example, the factory identifier Ni$D is replaced with Nio5 – the identifier of the modified plug-ins from the Kontakt Portable v5.8 kit

Register (add) a library in the Library ManagerIf the library is not added automatically after selecting a folder due to a missing/corrupted/under-downloaded registration file (nicnt-file), then manual (forced) addition will not solve the problem.Protected libraries are only registered when automatically added.
