In Native Instruments Kontakt 7, "Prepare a Feature" (often associated with R2R releases) typically refers to a manual step required to make specific libraries or functionalities visible or active within the software's new browser system.

Based on the latest Kontakt 7 workflows, here is how you "prepare" or add features/libraries: 1. Adding Non-Player Libraries to the Browser

Unlike older versions that used a simple "Add Library" button, Kontakt 7 requires you to manually import "Non-Player" libraries (those without a serial number) to see them in the new visual browser: Open the Library Browser in Kontakt 7. Click the cogwheel icon in the bottom left corner. In the Import Content window, click Add.

Navigate to your library's folder and confirm your selection.

Once closed, the library will appear with a generic tile or custom artwork in the browser. 2. Using "Batch Re-save" for Performance

If your libraries are taking a long time to load or showing missing file errors, you should "prepare" them using a Batch Re-save. This updates the file paths to your specific hard drive: Open Kontakt 7 in standalone mode (not in your DAW). Go to the File menu and select Batch re-save. Select the folder of the library you want to optimize.

This process significantly speeds up future loading times by "preparing" the sample links for your system. 3. Quick Load Management

For a more customized "feature" set, many users "prepare" a Quick Load catalog:

Right-click anywhere in the Kontakt window to open the Quick Load menu. Some producers cling to older R2R releases because

Drag your favorite .nki files or folders into this area. This allows you to bypass the main browser for frequently used sounds. 4. Resolving "Demo Mode"

If a library appears as a "Demo," it usually means it is a "Player" library that hasn't been "prepared" or activated correctly via Native Access. Ensure the library is registered to your account.

Verify that your version of Kontakt 7 is fully updated to match the library's requirements.
