Copyright Error with Kontakt Instruments in Sampler

Post by domesticrobot » Wed Apr 25, 2007 2:25 pm

Hi,
Whenever I try to add any of my Kontakt library it tells me that there is a copyright error and it cannot add! What do I do?

Hello,

The factory content of Kontakt is copyrighted, and can't be used in other programs.

Hi,

Sampler can use Kontakt programs that were created without copyright, such as programs you save yourself. It is nothing we can change: people make copyrighted content and wish it is used only in Kontakt.

You can save your own programs and use them in Sampler though.

this is never stated anywhere, i need to get a refund then because that is false advertising. You really need to have a warning about that somewhere

Hi,

If you want a refund, do write to [email protected], and explain them your problem. I can't speak for them though.

By the way, here is what the website says:
"Sampler plays and imports multisample libraries in the common formats: AKAI S1000, S3000, GigaStudio, EXS, SoundFont and (non-encrypted) Kontakt".

The 'non-encrypted' is the info about your issue.

As I understand, it was not clear enough for you.
