Kontakt 8 not showing all plugins

Jürgen Miosga · May 16

As you can see in the attached screenshots not all plugins are shown in Kontakt 8 although every plugin can be seen in Native Access and now I youre help to solve this problem.

Only Kontakt libraries will show up in Kontakt. More will show in Komplete Kontrol. E.g. anything Maschine expansion , Massive/Massive X expansion or Reaktor instruments will not show in Kontakt.

So if you worry about a specific product not showing in Kontakt then be specific and state product here.

Else if there are Kontakt libraries not showing in Kontakt then be sure to be using latest version of Native Access for your OS and then reinitialize the KONTAKT Database

Which Applications do the Komplete Content Products Belong To?

As you can see in the screenshot I get the error "Library not found" although every library is shown correctly in Native Access. All this has nothing to do with Kontakt or Komplete Kontrol.

I did not see a screen cap showing "Factory Library 1" installed in Native Access.

And if you are using Kontakt 8 - you should be using Factory Library 2 - anyway.

Please show us a screencap of NA - showing Factory Library 1 - actually installed.

Out of these 2 screenshots the only things I can see that are not showing in Kontakt are Maschine expansions and Reaktor Blocks. That is to be expected, they are not for Kontakt. They should show in Maschine, Reaktor (for the Blocks) and/or Komplete Kontrol.

Yes it does because you seem to be confusing instruments that should show in Kontakt (Kontakt libraries) with plugins and banks that should show in Komplete Kontrol, Maschine and other NI plugins such as Reaktor.

This new screenshot does show a missing Kontakt library, but it is not clear if you actually have that installed properly in the first place.

"This new screenshot does show a missing Kontakt library, but it is not clear if you actually have that installed properly in the first place"

Exactly what I was asking - there is no evidence that this library is actually installed - within Native Access.

You did not tell about this error initially and that was not you initial question.

To try to mend your problem here then be sure to be using latest version of Native Access for your OS and

then uninstall the Kontakt product in Native Access

then also if there then remove the product in the NI reg tool's list

then reboot

then reinstall the Kontakt product in Native Access

then reinitialize the KONTAKT Database

then run Kontakt standalone

Sorry but I would not suggest doing any of this yet - it looks like most of these problems are caused by a misunderstanding of what is installed and what it should show in - making radical changes to installations at this stage could just make things worse. First we need clarity about what is actually installed and where it should be showing or not

Thank you for your kind guidance.

I already addressed the what should show in what in my initial post. All that it earned me was a complaint that I had not addressed an error that were not mentioned in the first place.

The error that Jürgen Miosga complains over , clearly has nothing to do with the misunderstanding about what should appear in what. The error complained over apparently has to do with Kontakt Factory Selection , which I were attempting to address with my second post.

Of course then you are right that I for reason of clarity should/could have written "Kontakt Factory Selection" rather than just 'product' in my above post.
