Is it possible to put Komplete Kontrol knob mapping data into a Kontakt ".nki" file?

I'm using a Kontrol S61 MK3.
The original Kontakt preset file contains only the initial screen's eight knobs.
Is it possible to put a preset with additional pages, such as knob mapping pages 2, 3, etc., into a ".nki" file?
I know that the snapshot file ".nksn" can do this, but I want to keep the files as small as possible.
It seems to be possible to do this with the factory libraries (ex. Abbey Road 50s, or, etc.).
Is it in the Resource Container ".nkr" file or anywhere?

    Indeed it is possible - as long as you have added and saved your automation in the instrument first (and if there are several presets in that instrument I'm afraid you have to do that each time) - then when that is setup you can map it in KK and save the patches in KK (they still get saved as snapshots as that is the format KK uses for Kontakt presets) eg this is a Pinknoise Library I imported into Kontakt using the import tools, then added automation and KK mappings for

    Thank you Kymeia for answering my question.
    But,I already know the method you taught me.
    My question is, is it possible to put the KK mapping data in the ".nki" without using the ".ncpr" file (snapshot) .It is okay for other files to grow in the "Resource Container".
    This is because the factory library appears to contain KK mapping data in ".nki" files without snapshots.

    Ok I believe that is more a developer thing but possibly you can do that with the Creator tools or scripting?

    I checked the KPS scripts in the NI factory library, but I couldn't find any scripts related to KK Knob Mapping among the automation scripts.
    I remember that in previous versions of Kontakt (probably up to 6), you could save the KK Knob Mapping data as a ".nki" file by loading a preset in Komplete Kontrol and then saving that preset from Kontakt.
