6.3.6
Importing Files to the KOMPLETE KONTROL Library
Apart from the huge KOMPLETE factory library, you might want to use, e.g., your own REAK-
TOR ensembles or KONTAKT instrument files you received from other users. As described pre-
viously, you can load them directly from the
Files
pane, but you won’t be able to find and load
them from your keyboard’s on-screen Browser nor from the
Library
pane (see section
Searching and Loading Files from the Library
).
For this you will have to import the files into the Library first. Importing files does not mean
they will be moved from the directory they currently reside in, they will only be referenced by
the Browser. That’s why whenever you move files, make sure to update the paths to their re-
spective directories in the
Library
page of the
Preferences
panel, as described in section
2.6.1, Preferences – Library Page
The
Files
pane allows you to import whole folders. All KOMPLETE KONTROL-compatible files
found in the selected folder(s) will be imported.
To import a folder, do the following:
1.
Click the
Files
tab at the top of the Browser to open the
Files
pane.
2.
In the
Files
pane, navigate to the folder containing the folder you want to import. To do
this, use the various tools described in the previous sections.
3.
Select the desired folder as described above.
4.
Click the
IMPORT
button at the bottom right of the Browser.
You will be presented with the Attribute Editor.
5.
In the Attribute Editor, tag the files you are about to import to the Library as described in
section
6.5.2, Editing the File Tags and Properties
6.
When you are done, click
OK
at the bottom right of the Browser to import the files to the
Library.
→
All KOMPLETE KONTROL-compatible files found in the selected folder(s) are imported to
your Library. They are added as user content (User icon selected in the Content selector
of the
Library
pane, see section
6.2.2, Choosing Between Factory and User Content
).
Furthermore, the paths of the imported folders are added to the list of user libraries in
the
User
pane of the
Library
page in the
Preferences
