How to install Analog Tales & Nighmares snapshots?

For a quick and easy way to load/save presets, we use the Snapshots feature of NI Kontakt.

  1. After downloading the product, please extract the compressed file to a folder of your choice. Before opening Kontakt 6 you must do the following in order to use the presets!
    (Choose a suitable location with enough free space!)
  2. Copy all the contents from the SNAPSHOTS folder:

On Mac

On Windows

3. Go to the following folder and create an “Analog Tales” OR “Analog Nightmares” (based on your purchased product) folder inside:

MAC: MacHD\Users\<your username>\Documents\Native Instruments\User Content\Kontakt\Analog Tales

MAC: MacHD\Users\<your username>\Documents\Native Instruments\User Content\Kontakt\Analog Nightmares

WIN: C:\Users\<your username>\Documents\Native Instruments\User Content\Kontakt\Analog Tales

WIN: C:\Users\<your username>\Documents\Native Instruments\User Content\Kontakt\Analog Nightmares

4. Paste the files into the newly created “Analog Tales” OR “Analog Nightmares” folder

On Mac

On Windows

IMPORTANT: While the instrument can be saved wherever you wish to, Snapshots should be exactly named and placed in this location.
The ā€œproduct nameā€ folder should exactly match the name of the products .nki file name. Otherwise, it won’t show up in Kontakt!

When the installation is complete, open Kontakt and go to the Files tab. Here, navigate to the location of your library and open the .nki file.
