How do you make your own custom instruments with activation number

How do you go about making custom instruments activation? Is there a script? The copy/paste/edit ".nicnt" file method doesn't seem like a good work around. I looked in the forum but couldn't find any reference to how this works. (no search function?)

 

You don't.

 

Why not? Why did NI take that away? Why isn't there a path for this somewhere? How do I find an alternative to this that amateur users can have fun with?
I am a hobbyest not a pro. I just want to have fun by making it easier to script stuff I can easily access. Now I have to load everything manually. Stifle me because of the "takers". "Givers" succeed more spectacularly. Look at the difference between Ken Lay(Enron) and Adam Rifkin.

 

NI didn't "take that away", they never allowed it in the first place. If you want to have a Kontakt Player library, you have to pay NI for licencing the Kontakt Player.

 

Nothing's been taken away--the Libraries tab is for commercial libraries produced or licensed with NI, something that amateur users are not in a position to do.

I'm not sure what your issue is here. You can still make instruments to your heart's content, just put them in the quickload menu or in a directory referenced by a quick jump under the Files tab.

Firstly, what the heck are you even talking about?
Secondly, I'm not sure what characterization you're trying to draw, but Kenneth Lay was a spectacularly successful "taker" who essentially embezzled from my state's energy infrastructure leading to a summerlong series of regular blackouts and a budget shortfall of several tens of billions of dollars.

 

I do ramble sometimes. We used to be able to "work around" the library thing until recently. So I guess that was what I meant by taken away. I am using GTAK and wanted to access it quickly. How do you go about commercial licensing anyway? Maybe I can help the GTAK maker do it.The Lay thing was just me trying to teach myself about the book I am reading: "Give and Take" Takers will do anything to impress those above them but not the ones below them.

 

QuickLoad is for accessing things quickly.

Commercial licensing is discussed with NI. Costs money, too. Can't be done for scripts only, which GTAK basically is. It also contains modified instruments from Kontakt factory library, so that's a no go for licencing too (since NI owns the rights to the factory library - nobody else can licence those files, especially if they are modified).

What you can do, though, is move the GTAK folder inside Kontakt factory library folder, so it would open from the Libraries tab, under a subfolder there...

 

Thank you for the help. I will look into those options. Snapshot might work too.

 

Snapshots are per-NKI, not global. Probably won't work. Use QuickLoad.
