Kontakt 8 Custom Library Import ?

xylemflo

Hello, I am contemplating a strategic change in workflow which would be centered around Kontakt 8. Although I have used Kontakt 6 and 7, I have not used the import feature, and I found no answers to my questions in the manual. I have 2 questions regarding custom library import via the cog:

A. If I specify/import my sample library (360GB), does that mean that Kontakt will then categorize the sounds according to name or some metadata? Will these sounds be available to search in some way and appear in the right side panel?

1. If the answer is no, is there a workaround to make this happen?

B. I have a variety of 3rd party nki files that I had entered into Quickload in KT7. I understand that I can just move the quickload folder over, but can I now import these folders, run batch resave, and have them appear alongside the NI and NKS-compatible icons in the instrument view? Will they appear as presets in a search? Will Multis appear?

1. If the answer is no, is there a workaround to make this happen?

Thanks in advance for any help on this….
