    I downloaded the freebie Rhodes piano from Purgatory Creek.
    These are the files:
    Code:
    FOLDER: PurgatoryCreek.RhodesMarkV
      FILE: Purgatory Creek Mark V Manual.pdf
      FILE: PurgatoryCreek Mark V 20v.nki
      FILE: PurgatoryCreek Mark V 20v.patch
      FILE: Red.tga
    
    SUB-FOLDER: PurgatoryCreek Mark V 20v Samples:
       FILE: 1840 wav files
    It will not load as a library. So, to load this piano ...
    - I open explorer in the "PurgatoryCreek.RhodesMarkV" folder.
    - I drag the .nki file into the Kontakt window.
    - The "Samples Missing" pop-up appears.
    - I click on "Browse for folder".
    - In the folder dialog I choose the "PurgatoryCreek.RhodesMarkV" folder.
    - Kontakt loads the 1800+ files. This takes a while.

    Is there an easier way?

    After Kontakt loads all those samples, please resave the NKI, this will fix all the sample references so you won't have to do it every time you load that NKI.

    ... and you should be able to load it from the Kontakt Browser / Files tab.

    It does not appear as a Library as the dev has not agreed a licence with NI.

    I use quick-load for all of my third party instruments. I find this is the fastest user-friendliest way to load instruments.
