I have been able to import my East West libraries into Komplete Kontrol, work great, but they do not appear in Kontakt 7. I have tried to Add them through Kontakt 7 (Gear Icon lower left) but they will not appear. The path shows, looks like it should but I don't see them. Only in Komplete Kontrol I do. They are on their own external drive as is my Komplete 14 on its own external drive.

Any ideas what I.m doing wrong if anything?

Thanks!!

    Is EastWest an NI plugin?

    If it is, just go to the Kontakt, click on the View, then Rack View.

    You need Rack view so that you can click on 'Manage Libraries' and there you will see all the libraries that are checked and those that are not.

    Let me know if it helped.

    Hey Milos,

    EastWest is not an NI plugin (NKS converted you might say now). I was able to bring it into Kompkete using the NKS Support. It is now recognized and used in Komplete Kontrol. It's there, just can't see it in Kontakt 7.

    Oh...

    Then I can provide an alternative.

    You need a Rack View for this.

    You need to click on the Files, not File, which is besides Libraries, but before you click there, you need to check on which file the EastWest plugins are located, and when you do, go to the Files and search for that same file.

    I had the same issue when I wanted to laod the Pulse plugin and this solution sent the problem to the dreaded ShadowRealm!

    You know what I mean.

    Anyways, let me know if it helped, sir.

    Have a nice day!

    I see the EastWest folder listed there and can open there under files but how do I load them or get them into the Library? I can't do anything more than just see them.....

    Ok, so when I double click on the sound I want to hear, it works when I click on the Files under the NI drive, they load onto the right side but when I click in the East West drive, I see all the files but when I double click on them, they do not load.

    Kontakt 7 will only load Kontakt libraries. These East West plug-ins will only load in Komplete Kontrol that supports third party plug-ins and even more with NKS.
