EastWest old libraries not working suddenly (with DP)

Post by dreamuse » Thu Mar 01, 2018 11:05 am

Anybody have any ideas here to stop being library-blocked?

When that happened to me a few weeks ago, it was right after an NI update. Native Access said that none of my libraries were installed.

It was convoluted but I had to force NA to «find» all my libraries which took awhile. As far as I could see, my other choice was to download and reinstall them again which would have taken 18 hours.

Something I had to do on a couple of client machines after an update from 10.11.5 to 6 left them with problems was to do a complete reinstall of 10.11.6. Download the installer from the App Store and re-run it. See if you still have a problem.

Hi Mike, and thanks for your reply.

Curious: How’d you force NI to find the libraries?

I tried removing one library, just to see if Kontakt would notice it was missing. Not sure if the service center has to be notified it’s gone or not.

In my case, the service center’s actually happy. it says all libraries are installed, so there seems to be a file or something that needs to be either blown away or updated re-authorize.

Question: Q: EWQL samples not loading in Logic

Hello there everyone!

«This patch cannot be loaded. Make sure the original library is properly activated.»

How do I activate the original library. Are the files in the wrong place?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you kindly.

Are you using iLok?

Jan 4, 2012 6:18 AM

No, not using iLok.

Jan 4, 2012 7:10 AM

That’s the problem then 😉 You need it to activate EWQL library.

It doesn’t come with the software so you’d have to get it separately. Basically, you connect it to your USB port, register it on iLok website and then using Activation Code from the DVD (every section has it’s own code) activate whatever you want. It obviously works with the original software, I’ve no idea whether it’s possible to crack it. I work with the EWQLSO Platinum Play Edition so am not sure whether it works the same with Kontakt version. I had the same problem at the beginning and iLok was the reason.

Hope it helps a bit.

Jan 4, 2012 7:48 AM

The older Kontakt version doesn’t require iLok, that’s only for the newer PLAY release which is a totally different format.

Jan 5, 2012 8:25 AM

Awesome! Thanks for the help guys. Appreciate it. I got it working doing the latter. Thanks Mike.

Jan 5, 2012 9:25 PM

Hey I recently purchased EWQLSO PLay edition Silver. I can get Logic to recognise it and even open as a plugin within the DAW but when I try to record I get no audio. The midi information is there but no audio. I am using a late 2009 macbook pro, 2.23ghz dual core processor with 8gb ram. I was just wondering if you had a problem like this too?

Any advice would be really appreciated,

Mar 21, 2013 8:01 PM

That’s a different issue than the rest of the thread since you’re running Play instead of Kontakt.

When you have the play plugin up and a patch loaded, do you hear the instrument when you play on the little keyboard at the bottom of the PLAY window?

Mar 22, 2013 8:21 AM

Sorry about that. Thanks for the reply though. I’m not sure what happened but I updated logic and now everything works fine. Thanks for the help.

How to add libraries to Kontakt and fix the library not found error

I get a lot of questions when it comes to adding libraries to Kontakt.

Especially for those who first learned of Kontakt through the Kontakt Player.

Any libraries made for Kontakt Player show up or can be added to the library tab so they show up on the left side of Kontakt.

However there are TONS of Kontakt format libraries that are not licensed specifically for the player, these libraries cannot be added to the library tab….officially.

So I wanted to make a quick video showing how to organize other Kontakt libraries that you can’t add to the library tab so that you can still quickly access them.

Hopefully this helps you out, let me know if you have any questions!

anytime fam…keep da good stuff comin! Question…know of any good hip hop fxb for sylenth1?

No doubt fam, that’s what’s up. Not sure about the question though I don’t have Sylenth.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Not a fan.

Just never got it lol, people say it’s nice but I never got into it 🙂

i’d love to see ya review it….so far its pretty sweet…its got a real high quality sound and TONS of fxb (expansions)

Heard good things about it, people dig it!

This is tremendously helpful! Thank you!!

Cool fam glad to help!

SJ: Thanks for this tutorial. “My error has been solved”.

Cool, glad to help

Another method is to just copy the folder containing library that isn’t found inside of another library that is licensed. Then they show up under that library.

I usually just put them in my default Kontakt Library folder, and they show up!

Yep, I’m just very particular, I don’t like dissimilar libraries showing up under the same product LOL. But I do take products from the same company and do that 🙂

what up man this is Hasznone from the Maschine Family once again you are the cat in the Kontakt/Native Instruments hat another long awaited Jewel!! Definitely something I’ve always wondered about, thanks again for the perfected workflow tip!

No doubt fam glad to help!

This have been very useful. It simplifies the workflow. I have another problem that I find cumbersome to deal with: is there a quick way to unload a multi? The only way I have found so far is to kill all its loaded elements.

Go to the file menu at the top, and click “reset multi”

I’m gonna love this even more now man thanks a lot

Yeah fam glad to help!

I’ve purchased Modern billboard library from Studiolinkedvst and when i load it up in my Kontakt 5 free player, it shows up as a demo. Can you help me out with that problem?

You need the full version of Kontakt to use that library, it’s not a Kontakt player library it will always put Kontakt into demo mode for 30 minutes.

I’m using K5 and I need to re-add a few libraries such as K4 every time it loads up, any suggestion how i can make it stay? thx!

Your libraries should stay put however you don’t need the k4 library in k5 as k5 library has the same instruments. Any reason you are using the k4 library?

Hey I have a question. I have the Colossus Library Files that I understand you have to load into Kontakt? I have Kontakt 5 as a Stand-Alone as well as a Plugin for FL Studio. When I try to load one of the instruments into Kontakt it gives me “This patch cannot be loaded! Make sure that the original library is properly activated.” I’ve tried a bunch of different things, still cant seem to figure it out. Any help brotha?

Did you activate the library?

I’m getting the same library error even when I installed and activated Session Horns in Kontact 5.1. Any suggestions?

make sure you’re adding the folder with the instruments in it

install “NI service center 2.3.2” this fix that issue…

Here’s the fix from Native Instruments that finally worked for m
e.

In order to solve this problem, you must completely uninstall and reinstall
the [NI LIBRARY] including all installation information.

*Please disable any anti-virus, spy-ware protection, and/or any other Internet
security software before proceeding. It is important that the Registry in Windows
(XP/Vista/ 7) is accessible by installers and uninstallers. Without this the
inability to resolve the issue will occur.

Please proceed to uninstall via the Add/Remove Programs control panel (Windows XP)
or the Programs and Features (Vista / 7) from the Control Panel. You must also
deactivate the User Account Control in Windows Vista / 7 (32bit/64bit).
Deactivating UAC is quite easy, here’s what you need to do:

Windows 7 (32/64-bit)
* Go to the START Menu, type “UAC” in the START SEARCH and press enter. You
will see in the search results “Change User Account Control settings”.

* Click “Change User Account Control Settings”.

* You will see a graphical ‘slider’. Manually click and drag the ‘virtual
slider’ all the way down to the ‘Never Notify’ setting and click on OK (button).

* You can now close the User Accounts home page. You need to reboot the
computer for changes to apply.

(Note that you can re-enable UAC by manually click and drag the ‘virtual slider
back to the ‘Default’ setting (second position from the top) and click on OK (button).

In some more difficult cases, you may the need to manually remove files from the
Registry in Windows. This can be done with the Registry Editor as follows:

*Please note that the Registry is in many ways the backbone of the system. Please
be careful to not delete any files that are not mentioned here. You may render
your operating system useless. This will result in a re-installation of Windows
from scratch.

* *1.Open the Registry Editor.
The most common and quickest way to launch this application is press the WINDOWS
button (aka Start Menu/ Windows Logo button) and the letter “R” on your keyboard.
This will open the “RUN” command tool. In the open field, here you type “regedit”
(without the quotes) and press ENTER.

(Alternatively you can click on the Start menu and then: (XP) click on “RUN”_
OR_(VISTA / 7) in the Start Search; please type ‘regedit’ here.)

* *2.Find and Delete an entry.

Windows Vista/ 7 (64-bit)
Please expand the folders until you reach the folder in question at both of the
following locations:

01. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Native Instruments\**APPLICATION NAME HERE**

02. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Native Instruments\**APPLICATION NAME
HERE**

(If you have the right folder selected [highlighted folder name] when the bottom
of the window reads:

01. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Native Instruments\**APPLICATION NAME HERE**

02. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Native Instruments\**APPLICATION NAME
HERE**

Please right click on folder to get the “Delete” option. Select the “Delete”
function. When prompted with “Are you sure you want to permanently delete this key
and all of its subkeys?” Please select Yes.

Please then reinstall from the original installer DVD. Remember to update to the
latest version of the software. You can download and install the latest update
that is available in our Update Manager (either in the Service Center or on our
website: http://www.native-instruments.com).

That’s crazy, shouldn’t even need to do all that especially for their own libraries. That’s wild man smh.

Wow! This helped me solve my issue but not by following those steps…. I just ran Kontakt as Administrator and readded the library. They show up every time now even without running as admin again. So simple!

Cool. This video is dealing with “non” Kontkat PLayer libraries, the ones that don’t show on the left in the browser. But glad you got your stuff working!

anyone have any good leads on where to obtain creative commons or public domain voice samples (via the internet), like from speeches, old movies or what have you..any help would be greatly appreciated..

Make sure that the original library is properly activated

I am launching thru Steam so none of my mods should be loaded I thought.
I typically use Vortex but I launched thru Steam.

You mean from your Steam Library? The game should be launched thru SKSE64_loader.exe
You can place the shortcut in the Vortex dashboard then mark it as «Primary» and launch from there. You can also make a shortcut to your desktop and launch from there.

Always launch from there and always make sure Steam is running in the background when you do.

When I try to launch the game using SKSE64_loader.exe I receive an error message my DLL plugins needing a new version of the address library. So it appears I need to do that also. I’ve never had to do anything with updating address libraries in any of my previous re-installs of SKSE so it may take a bit for me to figure out.

I need to leave right now so it will need to be later today. Thank you for your assistance.

No problems with Kontakt 5.3.0 here.. All works as normal with LPX. Both the Player and the Full versions of K5 are available as a 64bit AU plugin so no issues with that and LPX

Make sure you are using the latest version of the K5 Player. thiough the fact you can access it within LPX tells me that’s not the problem

Not all libraries will work with the Player version however but that is by design.

Also not all libraries can be loaded in as a Library to the Library list but instead must be loaded via the K5 file manager.

So, what libraries are you trying to use with the Player version of K5?

What is the exact error msg you are getting when to attempt to add a library to K5

Nov 18, 2013 12:57 PM

ERROR: could not read encrypted sample (library not registered?)

Nov 19, 2013 12:26 AM

Okay.. so the first error means it isn’t the type of library that can be added to the library list.

. and the second error means you haven’t registered the library via the NI Service Center application in which case run the Service Center Application found in Applications and register it using the code that was provided with the library.

It is a library that cannot be used with the K5 player but needs Kontakt Full instead.

So again, what libraries are you trying to use with the K5 Player?

Nov 19, 2013 6:13 AM

Only library it shows loaded is the factory defualt presets that came with it when i downloaded it.

Nov 19, 2013 2:34 PM

All those libraries, with the exception of the default one that came with the free version of Kontakt Player.. are ones that need activatation..

You cannot simply use them with your Kontakt Player without paying for them yourself.. as that is illegal use and those would then be illegal versions on your Mac.

If you want to use them you will have to go buy them yourself. without paying for them.. and asking here, in a forum such as this one. how to use copied/illegal software/libraries, is really dumb don’t you think?

Nov 19, 2013 3:33 PM

Apr 24, 2014 5:22 PM

Contact NI. and ask them.

So, your serial isn’t valid or you have some other issue with your installation of Kontakt, NI’s Service Center or how you installed the library itself..

Either way, it’s not a Logic issue however. hence my suggestion to contact NI

Apr 24, 2014 5:46 PM

Hello Not exactly the same problem but definitely same results. Changed computers. Logic Pro to no longer work with Kontakt. I finally trashed everything Native Instruments and did a complete re-install (Komplete 8 Ultimate HD—all of them). Problem:, Kontakt 5 IS NOT recognized by Logic Pro X («filetype not recognized»). I have spent 3 days chasing a solution. Downloaded Kontakt 5 update (website). Verified active status (Native Access). Only Absynthe is working. Any help would be appreciated. ( OSX 10.12.5, 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3). Thanks. R.
