Being able to import Komplete presets into the Maschine 2.0 browser is really dope
You guys know I’m a HUGE Kontakt user, I have tons of libraries for it.
In this video I show how to import third party Kontakt libraries, how they actually show up in the browser, and give my thoughts and suggestions on what and how to import.
If you have any questions just ask!

I absolutely love the website and what your doing ..
Great Video ..
Please don’t forget to show us how to make the picture for user libraries
Thank you 🙂
Glad you dig it man, will definitely be making a video for it
How do we add the photo and where are they stored on windows.
I’m going to detail it in a video, but if you want to check it out, look in the NI Resources folder in public documents, checkout one of the folders in there and you can get an idea of what you need to do.
So are you not using the Quick View in Kontakt anymore I’m always looking for better ways to handle all my libraries as well. The Quick View is too damn small hurt my eyes trying to locate stuff, I’m also thinking about checking out one of your template videos for loading Kontakt patches anything to increase workflow with Kontakt because that’s always my go to for building a track.
I still have some stuff in there but mainly the stuff that I would access from there I just grab from the main browser LOL.
I plan to move a lot of my most used libraries directly into Maschine now though!
I tried this with Sample Logic Cinematic guitars and didn’t see anything in browser … Does that one work for you? Thanks!
That’s an older one, believe it was made for kontakt 4 that’s what I was saying about older ones
Other Sample Logic works as described in video (including Cinematic Guitars 2) … Must be an issue with the way they do their library?
Yeah version 2 was made for kontakt 5 which is what Maschine is set to read apparently, the older k3 or k4 libraries don’t seem to work usually.
K. Thanks Joe!
No problem!
I just bought a macbook pro for Maschine 2. I downloaded Komplete Solections and I can see Scarbee, Massive, & Prism, but I don’t see the Komplete icon and I can’t live without that classic bass module (the one that sound like a real bass). When I open up the Kontact player all I see is the Scarbee module. I want my Komplete modules with the vintage keyboards.
I’m not sure what you mean by the “Komplete Icon” which vintage library are you referring to and where did it come from?
I kind of hate the quickview everything is so damn small so are you importing them through the method where you made your own pics for the libraries or some other way? I really need to follow your best practices because that’s my main source of starting off tracks is Kontakt I’m a big Kontakt head like you always looking for better workflows.
I’ve found that most of the stuff I would load in quickload doesn’t really import well in Maschine, they just all show up under the Kontakt bank under user, so I would have to go in and tag them manually…which isn’t very dope LOL. So I’ve mainly just been importing my kontakt player libraries, the ones that usually show up in the Kontakt browser. I haven’t found the best workflow for non kontakt player libraries yet, and I don’t really want to have to tag all that LOL
Yeah i feel you tagging takes the fun out of all of that, I honestly seem to have double the content through non-kontakt libraries and it’s really important to be able to see everything you have to access it at will. I guess it’s all about researching the best way please let me know what I need to do to maximize the use of my Kontakt libraries my man I’m all ears.
I have komplete 8 ultimate in maschine 1.8. Will everything still be there in 2.0 or do I have to add it. Also, will I still have access to 1.8 or does 2.0 just take its place? I’m downloading 2.0 right now
2.0 should find your komplete sounds but you will have to add the plugin folder again to the preferences so they load. They are two separate programs so both will be available 2.0 doesn’t replace 1.8
Make sure you install all komplete updates
my pc has 2 hard drives of different size & all of my NI products are on the smaller drive
I am thinking about purchasing the Komplete 9 and take advantage of their sale and upgrade my Maschine controller – is it easy to switch drives for these (Maschine packs, Reaktor, etc.) or will I need to reinstall them? the Komplete package will be more room than my current home for all of those players
thanks
If you just switch them you would have to make sure for the Maschine packs you would go into the Maschine preferences and point to the new location and do a rescan. For the Reaktor packs/instruments you would open Reaktor on it’s own and point to the new libraries. It may be easier to remove and reinstall if that sounds like too much work, but I move things around as needed, as long as you point to them int he proper player and rescan you should be fine.
How do you know what 3rd party instruments etc will be suitable for kontakt, fm8, massive etc. I plan to do some sample searching but I want to organize my 3rd party stuff where its quick and easy to find.
It will say if it’s made for Kontakt, Absynth, Massive, etc You can search for presets specifically for each instrument if you wish.
is it possible to import .nki files into the knock library so they show in the kontakt library – i have a couple of multi format samples from platinum audio labs that i was using when i had an mv8800 ?
cheers

Not quite sure what you’re asking. You can open all Kontakt format files directly through Kontakt’s browser. If you import into Maschine they will show up in the user section.
Not sure if this will help, but many have found this video useful, involving importing Kontakt libraries into Maschine …

Though in this post I show the quick way to do it through preferences, I also covered tagging Kontakt libraries in Maschine as well…
https://maschinetutorials.com/maschine-2-0-how-to-quickly-import-and-tag-third-party-kontakt-libraries/
But I think his question is about getting them to show up in Kontakt and not so much Maschine
Did you ever do the video on how to create or use 3rd party Library Icons for tags?
Not quite sure what you’re asking, what do you mean for tags?
not tags really but creating icons for your third party kits. you spoke about creating a video on how to in this video. Like I would like the Aston Martin kit icon to show versus the Maschine Icon
Ahh ok. All custom images are made the same way. Images will only show up for plugins, kontakt player libraries, and samples. The images will not show up for third party kits or sounds.
So instead of naming the folder after a plugin, it would be after whatever the samples or kontakt player library shows up under in the browser.
