Using 8DIO Salsa Libraries

Post by Gone To Lunch »

I am struggling to get started with my new 8DIO Salsa libraries. I have the bundle of all three.

I can't figure out how to get to the interface that is shown in the 8DIO videos; the 8DIO videos only show how to use it AFTER it has been installed.

There is one video that refers to loading from the instrument library, with the *nki suffix and the little keyboard logo, but there is only an instrument folder in Vols 2 and 3, not Vol 1.

I don't know the Salsa library specifically, but you need to load the nki into Kontakt by browsing for it. They may also have ready-made presets that you can load instead.

You do have Kontakt, I presume?

Yes. The instrument folder that typically contains the *nki is missing - so I am guessing some kind of installation mistake so I will just re-install and try again.

More than likely. The small archive downloaded should contain the latest nki; it would appear that your installation might be missing that.
