Cannot import audio sample files into Circular.

I'm using Circular (1.0.2). I'm trying to import my own audio sample files, but dragging and dropping the files doesn't work. When I try to import, the Circular logo just spins endlessly. I'm using Kontakt 8.6. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

@irimajiri Actually I was also not able to do it while trying to reproduce the issue. I reached out to the responsible team.

There is an issue with Kontakt 8.6 affecting certain functions of certain libraries, Circular user samples is one of them. This will be fixed in the next Kontakt update 8.6.1. For the moment the workaround would be to downgrade to 8.5.1 using the download manager: https://www.native-instruments.com/account/downloads

Kontakt 8.6.1 was just released and it should fix the issue:

What's the format of the audio files you are trying to import?

Does Kontakt (and other audio apps) have full disk access? How to Enable Full Disk Access on macOS

Hi, Jeremy

The file type I intend to import is WAV 44.1kHz.
Full Disk Access has been fully granted.
It doesn't work in standalone mode or with Ableton Live 12.

For reference, I can import audio files into the same KONTAKT library, Playbox, without any issues.

What is the source of this file ? Is it something that you recorded yourself or downloaded from the web ? Can you import same file into e.g. Ableton Live without the use of Circular ?

It's the audio file I recorded myselfm not a kind of download samples from the web.
I can import it into Ableton Live's timeline directly.

@irimajiri From the manual, it says that

you can load your own samples into the steps by dragging the sample files from yourdesktop and dropping them onto the desired cells. This allows you to build sequences with yourown sounds. When you have loaded a custom sample into a step, the sample will be available inthe Sample Browser, appearing as “User [sample name]” in one of the 128 user slots available.

I downloaded 8.5.1 and launched Circular, and it worked successfully.
Thanks
