I'm missing something.

I just upgraded to Kontakt 5, authorized, etc. I can successfully play instruments in Kontakt 5. Yay!

Except my KH stuff (which has all been "extracted here" successfully and is being seen by Kontakt). (I just bought Concert Strings II, and Concert Brass).

When I open it in Kontakt it says "Demo", for one thing. Did I miss some kind of authorization procedure?

No sound. I can see "midi" happening on the indicator, but no sound. I CAN get sound out of my other Kontakt instruments.

What am I missing?

@kcisANDderit,

That's good of you to do that (but that's just a single Overview page ).

this is strange since these are unprotected libraries... Are you sure that K5 was fully authorized?

i included everything i see when i click your links. i don't understand, what's missing?

I guess you mean all of the table of contents. I'll have it tonight

[edit]: pdf post above updated with complete TVEC 3 guides for CS2 and CB2

**Yes. I am able to play other sounds in there--just not KH.

...sigh... I'll contact Hunter directly and see if we can figure things out.

Vibrato in Solo Bowed Instruments

In solo instruments of Concert Strings II (and previous) VibratoLive is not implemented.
Furthermore, there are not intermediate levels of vibrato between 'non vibrato' and 'vibrato espressivo'.

"demo" errors have so far been related to an incorrect installation procedure

if it turns out your problem/solution is indeed different please come back here and post the solution

Thanks kcis & Darkstar...
I deleted and reinstalled in the K4 samples folder, but haven't had a chance to check it out yet.....will do so tonight.

Great idea on starting this Tips/Q&A thread!!

^^^^
You're welcome

I'll look into the missing sample issue. Also, I'm putting together a wishlist, so I'll include what you wrote before about extending the assignable keyswitch range.

Thanks for the email about this. I didn't see this thread until today. We'll get to the bottom of it.

PRS - Folders and Files

This may be helpful. Below is a listing showing the organisation of the folders and files for Pop Rock Strings.
-- it includes the TVEC-3 Instruments, whioch are a bonus in the GB,
-- I have removed several of the ifles, for clarity,
-- I have added a folder "zz_originals_DS". I store the original Instrument patches (in their .zip files) in there, just in case I manage to mistakenly overwrite any of them.

I'm curious if it's possible to make more TVEC 3 versions of Diamond instruments; namely the non-solo woodwinds.

Thank you for looking into the key switches and missing sample . (That's the only one I've found thus far.)

Thanks for the scraping bow solution too!

One thing that I've noticed though: The upward slides in string instruments work, but for some reason I can't get the downward slides to work. Is there a problem or is there some procedure that I haven't figured out. For up slides, I move the pitch wheel up and then press the note. It works there. If I move the wheel down though, the note plays normally.
