Installing VST Plug-ins with NKS Support
VST plug-ins with NKS support are automatically added to your Library when you start KOM-
PLETE KONTROL for the first time after completing their installation. The folders containing the
Preset files for NKS support can be managed in the Factory pane on the Library page of the Pref-
erences. For more information, refer to Preferences – Library Page.
Installing KONTAKT and REAKTOR Instruments with NKS Support
Third-party developers of KONTAKT and REAKTOR Instruments provide you with a folder that
contains all Instrument files, including Preset files and samples. Instead of running an installer, this
folder needs to be stored on the hard drive. The Instrument can then be activated with Native Ac-
cess, which also adds it to the KOMPLETE KONTROL Library. If you are using KONTAKT or RE-
AKTOR, the Instrument is automatically added to their respective Browser.
To activate your KONTAKT Instrument with NKS support and add it to the KOMPLETE KONTROL
Library, follow the steps below:
1. Start the stand-alone version of the KOMPLETE KONTROL software.
2. Open the File sub-menu in the KOMPLETE KONTROL menu and click on Manage Prod-
ucts…
Native Access opens, showing all installed products.
3. Click on Add a serial in the top-left corner of Native Access.
4. Enter the serial number of the Instrument and click ADD SERIAL.
