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.
- 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!) - 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 āproduct nameā folder should exactly match the name of the products .nki file name. Otherwise, it wonāt show up in Kontakt!
