How to Load Kontakt Instruments
WAYS OF LOADING A KONTAKT PATCH
Using the Library Tab: If your library is compatible with the Kontakt Library tab, you can easily add it through the Native Access application and then load it directly from the Libraries tab within Kontakt.
Using the Files Browser: Navigate through your computer’s file system within Kontakt to find and load individual Kontakt patches (.nki files). This method works for both libraries that are formatted for the Libraries tab and those that are not.
- Click “Load…” from the Files menu in Kontakt
Using the Quick Load Catalog: You can add your most commonly used instruments, multis, and banks to Kontakt’s Quick Load catalog for faster access. Right-click in the Kontakt window to access and manage your Quick Load settings.
Dragging and Dropping: You can drag .nki files from your file explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac) directly into Kontakt’s interface to load them.

In Kontakt7 / 8 and upwards, Native Instruments introduced yet another way to browse and load libraries, through an inbuilt browser with thumbnail pictures. To make non-nks libraries show up in there, is a bit tricky. There has been some post about how to do this on forums. (link).
Our personal preferred workflow is simply to drag patches directly in from the Finder.
