To prevent you from having to download one massive file it is common to split the download into multiple parts, usually about a gigabyte each.

Some sample libraries have a very large file size, even when compressed into a RAR archive.

Another way to access the files inside a RAR archive is to double click on it and it will open up like a folder, from here you’ll be able to drag the files straight out of the archive. The menu layout might be slightly different on your system to the one shown in the image. Once you’ve installed a RAR extracting utility you can decompress the archive by right-clicking on it and selecting one of the options from the pop-up context menu. To access the files inside a RAR archive you need to extract them using one of several freely available utilities – We recommend using the latest version of WinRAR on Windows and The Unarchiver on Mac. At Xtant Audio we use RAR compression because it provides the smallest file size. This is to speed up the download process. When you purchase a sample library from Xtant Audio, and most other developers, the files you receive are in a compressed format. This will pop up an information box in the middle of the screen which will show the version number you have installed. The quickest way to check which version of Kontakt you are using is to click on the Kontakt logo at the top left of Kontakt’s window.

How to check which version of Kontakt you have At Xtant Audio we try to use Kontakt 4.2 when possible but be sure to check in the “Requirements” section of the product page before you make a purchase, and when in doubt send us an email via the Contact page. Developers almost always state the version of Kontakt required for their libraries and it’s important to check that you have the right one before you make a purchase.
To use a third-party library (a library that has not been encoded by Native Instruments) you must be using the version of Kontakt that the library was created in or newer – Kontakt is not forwards compatible. Most sample libraries you buy from third-party developers, including Xtant Audio, have not been encoded by Native Instruments and therefore won’t appear in this tab nor can they be installed by clicking the “Add Library” button.

Only sample libraries that have been sent by the library’s developer to Native Instruments for encoding show up here and they work not only in the full version of Kontakt but also in the free Kontakt Player.
The Libraries tab displays all of the Kontakt libraries that have been installed using the “Add Library” button. If you can’t see the browser you need to open it by clicking the “Browse” button located at the left of Kontakt’s top menu. This image is probably one you’re familiar with. It’s the Libraries tab in Kontakt’s browser window. The information presented in this guide is applicable to most third-party Kontakt sample libraries but there are always exceptions so it’s important that you read the user guides that come with the libraries you purchase. Here we’re going to focus on the latter as those are the ones that you’re more likely to struggle with loading into Kontakt (the first time at least). Those that run in the free Kontakt Player and those that will only work with the full (paid) version of Kontakt. Kontakt sample libraries come in two flavours. 5 How to open sample libraries in Kontakt.
That definitely seems like the wrong way to go about it. You have to point each key individually to a different key, and then it's still being triggered at it's original placement. Is there somewhere else for me to define where on the keyboard this instrument plays (just shifting the color-coded keys)? I took a look at KSP setting and 'Transform>Change Keys' but that doesn't seem to be what I want. I am a bit confused, because the Key Range, already by default, is set to the full range. But once I have shifted the desired amount (2 octaves) it is outside of that color-coded range and unplayable anywhere on my entire 88 key keyboard. As I shift the transpose a step at a time, I can play and hear the changes. However, that instrument seems to be confined to the range of the color-coded keys on the keyboard. I went to the Instrument Options for the instrument I wanted to transpose and adjusted the Transpose there. I was looking to transpose an instrument within a Multi. Any Kontakt users who can help me figure this out? I feel like I must be missing something very obvious
