Thank you for purchasing Post Nuclear II for Kontour.

Post Nuclear II comes in two formats: nks presets and Reaktor snapshot banks.

NKS presets installation.

  1. Locate your Native Instruments "User Content" folder. To do this right-click on "User" entry in the Reaktor preset browser and select "Show in folder".

  2. If “Show in folder” doesn’t work, you can check the path to the “User Content” in Reaktor’s preferences.

  3. Unpack and copy the "Post Nuclear II" folder from "Post Nuclear II for Kontour by Spektralisk/NKS Presets" into "User Content/Kontour". NOTE: At this point “Post Nuclear II” folder will show up in Reaktor “User” folder in the browser (after re-opening GUI). You can now browse the sounds directly in Reaktor. If you prefer to work with Komplete Kontrol, follow the next steps.
  4. Rescan the presets in Komplete Kontrol plugin.
