Kontakt Library Content Missing
Mary Hargrove
on the dload site, the mm pads are in multformat, reason, exs, Kontakt etc, but there are no Kontakt instruments in that dload, could they be missing,? I just use the Omnisphere ones up till now but would like to use the Kontakt ones
I set this up myself, and I finally understand what you're saying about .nkm files. Dancing Noire MM Pads is a collection of ten multi patches (.nkm files) for Kontakt 6, each of which loads one patch from Native Instruments' Noire together with one patch from PlugInGuru MegaMagic Pads for Kontakt 5. As it says in the "read me" PDF which comes with the Dancing Noire package, you thus need to own both of these products for the multis to work.
To load a multi, locate it in Kontakt's Files view (or the QuickLoad view) and drag it into the main part of the Kontakt GUI. Kontakt will ask you to confirm that you want the parts of the multi to replace, rather than add to, whatever is currently loaded. You would normally click YES to replace.
Kontakt will now locate the files it's looking for automatically, with the help of the Spotlight disk-indexing ability of macOS, and because you checked the "keep search mode" box, it will do the same as you drag/drop each of the other .nkm files into the GUI.
If you want, you can load each of the .nkm files in turn, and for each one, choose "Save multi as..." and re-save over the existing .nkm file. With the default items checked ("patch only" and "absolute sample paths"), this will ensure that you won't see the "Content Missing" dialog again, when loading these multis in the future (unless you move the content folders yourself).
Thanks for including those screenshots. The zip file you're still missing is called mm_pads_k5.zip. Check in your downloads to see if it's there, and if not, there might be an issue with how the multi-format MM Pads bundle was put together on the web site. I'll ask John about this, and ask him to post again here.
Hi Wired - please download the "kontakt_noire_mm_pads_multis.zip" file - unzip it and then it will work. You HAVE to have MM Pads installed for Kontakt 6. I get this error when people have purchased this library, installed the Omnisphere 2 version but have not installed the "mm_pads-wav.zip" file FIRST. Without first installing the actual WAV version of MegaMagic Pads, this won't work.
To be clear - there is a mm_pads-wave.zip file that needs to be unzipped. There is a "MegaMagic Pads Samples" folder that should be placed into the MegaMagic PADS for Kontakt 5.5.1 folder. Then you have the samples, resources needed to open the Noire/MM Pads files. It's a little more tricky with the WAV version of the library because the "MegaMagic Pads Samples" folder can be used for each format so it's included OUTSIDE of the folders for the different plug-in formats. But Kontakt needs those samples that are in that folder. Email me at unifys...@pluginguru.com if you have any questions. Mention you've been talking with me via the forums so Taylor will forward me the email. We'll get you up and running!
First, I'll preface that I have not really used Kontakt enough to be even remotely cognizant of what I may be missing here, and this is also my first time using GetGoodDrums. I typically use Superior Drummer 3 for my drum sounds, and I have no issues whatsoever getting those drum libraries to work flawlessly in my DAW.
I've installed the GetGoodDrums' "Metal" sample library, and within Kontakt/GetGood's user interface (inserted as a soft-synth into a Cakewalk by Bandlab project), as I click on each graphic of the drum-pieces of the kit to hear the single drum-piece play back its sound, I can hear it just as is expected without issue. That tells me that everything is installed properly. However, my issue is that as I play back my prepared MIDI drum track, I cannot hear my GetGoodDrums' sound library playing, and it's as if it's not receiving the MIDI information from my drum track at all. I'm sure it is something very simple that I am missing.
So to recap: I can click on each drum-piece in GetGoodDrums, and the sound that I hear from doing so plays back as is expected. I've routed my MIDI drum track's output to Kontakt like I typically would using Superior Drummer 3, and I can see that my MIDI track is playing. GetGoodDrums/Kontakt however does not appear to be receiving any MIDI information at all though from my MIDI drum track, as the kit does not appear to play or react and the track's dB meter does not react. There must be something in GetGoodDrums that I'm missing which would allow itself to receive my MIDI drum track's CC information so that it plays as expected with the sounds from the drum library.
I'm not near my PC at the moment as well, but I will definitely check on this when I return home. I will let you know either way if this makes headway for me. Thank you kindly for responding to my issue. Fingers crossed!
Thanks, but that did not help me. Believe it or not, I started there before posting here. I've used Kontakt in the not so recent past though for Steven Slate drums and for Shreddage 3 (Hydra) and never had issues like I'm experiencing here. Perhaps treesha's helpful post above will be the ticket. I will post here when I find out as an update. Thank you though for posting that link at any rate.
Check the recorded MIDI events, to see what MIDI channel is present in the drum events. Then, make sure the MIDI channel lines up with the MIDI channel with the loaded Kontakt MIDI channel, and on the MIDI track. Do you have audio tracks set to get their input from the output of the Kontakt instance that has the drums?
Thank you all so kindly for trying to help a fella out! Turns out...I had to set that input for GetGoodDrums to "Omni," and to get my MIDI drums to trigger the expected sounds of the kit, I had to use the "GM" preset instead of the "Invasion" preset (which was the default for some reason) for proper drum-mapping.
So all said...THANK YOU ALL! I am elated right now and feel like an idiot at the same time for not even knowing how to navigate the GUI well enough to investigate things on my own. But, teamwork made the dream work.
You are AHEAD of the curve, by turning to the community for assistance. LOTS of good helpful folks here. Here is a secret - most of us here have learned too many things the hard way. The trick is to remember the lessons learned from making mistakes, so that you hopefully don't repeat them, too many times.
1741 wird Johann Caspar Lavater in Zrich geboren; er stirbt 1801. Seine Lebenszeit umspannt die fr unsere Gegenwart heute so entscheidende Spanne des 18. Jahrhunderts mit Aufklrung und Revolution. Lavater ist ein typisches Kind der Aufklrung und war als solches mit allen Persnlichkeiten aus Wissenschaft - Theologie, Geisteswissenschaften, Naturwissenschaften -, Politik und Kultur in Europa in persnlichem und brieflichem Kontakt.
Lavaters Bedeutung kommt allein schon aus diesen trockenen Daten zum Ausdruck. Er stand mit allen in Kontakt, die sich in der zweiten Hlfte des 18. Jahrhunderts Gedanken ber den Menschen, seine Geschichte, das Zusammenleben und ber die Krfte ber dem Menschen und das Leben nach dem Tod auseinandersetzten.
Es wurde darber gestritten, wieviele Briefe von und an Johann Caspar Lavater in der Sammlung der Handschriftenabteilung der Zentralbibliothek Zrich liegen, ganz zu schweigen davon, dass sich weitere in anderen ffentlichen und vor allem auch privaten Sammlungen befinden. Jetzt, anhand der Mikrofiche-Edition und der Register konnten wir sie zhlen, es sind 21,423 Briefe. So oder so, vom 21. Jahrhundert aus gesehen, sind es unzhlige Briefe, nur vergleichbar mit den weitverzweigten Kommunikationsnetzen, wie sie heute auf elektronischem Weg bestehen. Lavater steht als Kommunikationsgenie par excellence vor uns, zudem als herausragender, provozierender Geist des 18. Jahrhunderts. Seine Briefe erreichten alle Destinationen in Europa und von berall her kamen die Briefe nach Zrich und sind so das wohl aussagekrftigste Zeugnis fr die Bedeutung dieser Stadt zur Zeit der Aufklrung. Das Briefregister liest sich wie ein Verzeichnis der bedeutenden Persnlichkeiten des 18. Jahrhunderts; wir sind zuversichtlich, dass auch die anonymen Briefschreiber und -empfnger durch die Verffentlichung der Briefe gelegentlich identifiziert werden knnen.
Die bedeutende Briefsammlung ist Teil des umfangreichen Nachlasses Johann Caspar Lavater im Familienarchiv. Die Stadtbibliothek Zrich konnte 1850 Teile des Nachlasses erwerben; 1901 schenkten die Erben von Antistes Georg Finsler (1819-1899), einem Urenkel Lavaters, den grssten Teil der bestehenden Sammlung, die anschliessend durch Schenkungen und Ankufe vermehrt und unter der Signatur FA Lav. Ms. geordnet und erschlossen wurde. 1916 wurde die Stadtbibliothek mit der Kantonsbliothek in der Zentralbibliothek Zrich als Kantons-, Stadt- und Universittsbibliothek zusammengefhrt.
An eine eigentliche Gesamtausgabe der Korrespondenz Lavaters ist, wenn berhaupt, sicher aber in absehbarer Zeit nicht zu denken. Die wissenschaftlichen Anstrengungen gelten derzeit der Edition, welche durch die Forschungsstiftung Johann Caspar Lavater und den NZZ Verlag in Zrich betreut wird: "Johann Caspar Lavater, Ausgewhlte Werke in historisch-kritischer Ausgabe". Die Herausgeber benutzen die Korrespondenzen und verweisen auf sie; doch auch sie kennen nicht alle Briefe. In der vorliegenden Mikrofiche-Edition von IDC, Leiden, steht dieses interessante Quellenmaterial der internationalen Forschungsgemeinschaft und den interessierten Laien nun zur Verfgung. Es wird seine Bedeutung fr die verschiedensten Fachgebiete, fr Theologie, Mentalitts- und Sozialgeschichte, Literatur- und Kunstgeschichte, Pdagogik, Psychologie und Medizingeschichte sowie vor allem fr die Kulturgeschichte des 18. Jahrhunderts erweisen.
