Description :
For 20 years, KONTAKT has been the basis of countless movie soundtracks and pop hits,
plus thousands of incredible tools from NI and your favorite NKS developers.

How to install :
1) Unpack, mount Kontakt 7.6.0 Patched.iso and install.
2) To add a library, use a separate kontakt button (it is not associated with the Kontakt interface).
If you want to add a Kontakt button to K7, use Kontakt Patcher to unlock full K7 options.
3) Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Native Instruments\Service Center and check if the NativeAccess.xml file is there .
(If you don’t have this file or folder, create one and place NativeAccess.xml in the Service Center folder.)
Can I install the latest version of Kontakt 7 on top of a previous version of Kontakt 7 (bobdule) ?
YES! You can, just make sure you use the same location (default).
If the installation is patch, then why do you need a patcher ?
As noted above in point 2) Kontakt 7.6.0 Patcher simply unlocks the full potential of K7 options,
for example, turning the HELP>Launch Native Access menu into a Kontakt Add Button.
Can Kontakt 6 or Kontakt 7 work side by side ?
Yes! You can install both versions without any conflict.
How to make Kontakt 7 look like Kontakt 6 ?!
Just use the menu buttons for a classic display.
Carrying out an experiment without the slightest curiosity raises the most trivial questions.
