How to Install Your Kompose Audio Kontakt Product

IMPORTANT:

To use our Kontakt instruments you must be using the full paid version of Kontakt - they will not work in the free Kontakt Player.

How to Load Kompose Audio Kontakt Products

You can load Kompose Audio Kontakt products in one of three ways:

  1. Add the product to Kontakt’s main Library Browser - recommended (instructions below).
  2. Load the .nki files via the Files tab (in Kontakt 8 you must be in Classic View with Side Pane enabled).
  3. Drag and drop the .nki files directly into Kontakt.

Each method is explained below.

Your product has been compressed into a ZIP file. Before you can use your product, you will need to unzip the file you downloaded.

How to Unzip a ZIP File

Mac

  • Double-click the ZIP file to unzip it.

Windows PC

  • To extract a single file: open the ZIP folder and drag the file to a new location.
  • To extract everything: right-click the ZIP folder, select Extract All, and follow the instructions.

Option 1 (preferred method). Add the Product to Kontakt’s Main Library Browser

Adding your Kompose Audio product to the main Library Browser makes loading instruments much quicker - you won’t need to open each .nki file manually every time.

Works for Kontakt 7 and Kontakt 8.

Add the Product

  1. Open Kontakt.
  2. Click the Import Content icon in the bottom-left corner.
  3. Click Add.
  4. Navigate to the main product folder (the one containing all the .nki files). For example, for Grenadier, select the folder named Grenadier.
  5. Click Open. Kontakt will import the product.

Add the Kontakt Images

Watch the video below for instructions.

Inside your product download you’ll find a folder called Kontakt Images.

Inside that is another folder with the product’s name (e.g., grenadier).

Copy that folder into the following location:

Windows:
 C:\Users\Public\Documents\NI Resources\image

Mac:
 Users/Shared/NI Resources/image

Restart

Close and re-open Kontakt.

Your Kompose Audio product will now appear in the Library Browser with the correct artwork.

Option 2. Loading Presets from the Files Tab

  1. Click Files at the top of Kontakt.
  2. In the browser below, navigate to the folder where the product is stored on your system.
  3. Select the folder - you will see the .nki files appear underneath.
  4. Double-click any .nki file to load it.

Option 3. Drag and Drop the .nki Files

You can also load instruments by dragging them directly into Kontakt:

  • Drag any .nki file into the main instrument area on the right.
  • Or simply double-click the .nki file to load it.

Both methods will load the instrument instantly.
