in Kontakt

I recently purchased Kontakt crossgrade... I guess because I owned piano colors I was able to get this version. From everything I have read this should be the full version. I downloaded everything available in my native access... however, it looks like I'm missing a ton of presets. Kontakt 7 only shows 900 presets, which I think I should have at least 85,000. Anyone know how to resolve this issue?

FYI, I have a newer MacBook Pro - and have downloaded everything I can find in the native access app. I even punched in the serial number to Kontakt 7 crossgrade and it didn't resolve the issue.

    Apart from the Factory Library 2, three Play Series instruments and Retro Machines Mk2: not much.

    Kontakt is only a sampler. You would need Komplete (preferrably Standard or higher) in order to get more content. There are also third-party instrument developers - like Soniccouture or Heavyocity - who make Kontakt instruments.

    Hello,

    If you have kontakt 7 and the kontakt factory library 2 (don't know if kfl 1 is still provided with K7) then you have all as far as I know. You maybe have 85k with komplete but even not then.

    What exactly do you own? Only Piano Colors and Kontakt 7?

    Alicia's Keys is either sold separately or included in Komplete Ultimate (and higher).

    only if you own komplete then yes but if you own "just" kontakt 7 then: Samplers : Kontakt 7 : Library | Komplete (native-instruments.com)

    Are the free libraries automatically placed in the native access or is there a place you can find them?

    You have to search them in the internet and download them and install, then you can open them in the kontakt file browser as far as I know.
