    I think I am missing a Kontakt 5 manual: I don't have a getting started and I can't find out what I am suppose to have.

    Thanks,
    Paul

    I would suggest submitting a Support Ticket to see if a Kontakt 5 "getting started" document actually exists.


    I have Komplete 8 Ultimate, and the Kontakt 5 documentation that was installed (Win 7 32-bit, default locations) was:

    In C:\Program Files\Native Instruments\Kontakt 5\Documentation
    -- Kontakt 5 Application Reference
    -- Kontakt 5 factory scripts
    -- Kontakt 5 Manual Addendum (for v5.02)
    -- KSP Reference Manual

    In C:\Users\Public\Documents\Kontakt Factory Library\Documentation
    -- Kontakt Factory Library Documentation

    The Application Reference manual mentions a "Getting started" document (page 16), but it is not installed with K8 Ultimate. It may not exist given the Application Reference manual covers "Setup" on pages 17-22.

    I have what you have.

    I think the getting started was not sent out with 5. and I need to go to the 4 and down load it.

    Thanks

    I'm also missing the getting started manual and here NI is slow. Why not a link on the website?

    Yes, There is at least one and I have it, paper , from my printer. I finally found it in all my stuff. I am trying to figure how I got it. I think that it was in my komplete 7 box and when komplete 8 ultimate came I purged Komplete 7 from my hard drive - erasing Kontakt 5 getting started and it was not in Komplete 8 Ultimate.

    My suggestion is keep rattling doors and you'll get a copy.

    Kontakt 5 getting started manuals found

    RTFM! In Kontakt Application Reference it is written on page 16. You just have to download the Kontakt 5 player and there the manuals are!
    But I don't understand the idea behind this? Saving space? I bought Komplete 8 and it is on 12 DVD's, taking 80GB of space...
