in Kontakt

So I just got the new sleep token ii drum plugin from mixwave. I have Kontakt 8 and 7 just from having NI hardware so I got them for free. I tried to click add library on Native Access but when I try to choose a file location to add it, none of my Kontakt file locations work. Also a file for kontakt player does not show up even though the kontakt player plugin pops up in logic. Does anybody know what I should do?

    You probably need to go through the mixwave web site support section to figure this out. I briefly looked at it and found out these are iLock libraries which I don't use and may very well be your problem.

    That's why you need to refer to the mixwave web site to find out what their process is for installing their software into the Native Instruments environment. Each 3rd party library vendor seems to have their own unique process for doing this unless they're distributed through Native Instruments and provide a NI compliant key. For example, the process I have to go through to register Spitfire Audio libraries is often different than what I need to go through for Impact Soundworks, 8Dio or even (sometimes) Heaviocity and the requirements are documented on the company web sites or sometimes within the documentation that comes with the library itself. Many of them have their own installation and management programs similar to Native Instruments. In some cases you may need to run WinZIP to unpack and install the library.

    I do have ilock and that all works properly for me. Its more so the file I need to add the library isn't there even though I have Native Access and Kontakt Player to be able to run the library.
