Since I like to have many Kontakt libraries but don't want to fill my hard drives with them, I minify them, keeping only what I realy need from them.
— Library size is 6.6GB (from ~ 95GB)
— All samples are 16bit
— Some less needed (for me) articulations have been removed
— Only the "Close" mic exists
— Added a Convolusion Reverb
— The "Close"/"Far" slider in the "Easy Mix" page changes the Reverb level

Good to have the option of a minified library, but I’m still hoping to see the full version for optimal fidelity out here.

There's no problem with this Kontakt instrument. You need to add it to Kontakt using the "Add Library.exe" file that you can find with certain Kontakt installations. Or google Bob Dule.

I'm sorry, the problem was that the download I did the other day surely had a problem and the nki files were not downloaded. In my second attempt, after the answer from ZiggyInSpace (thank you!) I already have them and it works. Thanks!

Always grateful for people who do custom versions of Kontak libraries.
Curious, does this include legato? Is this:

Long
Long Con Sordino


legato?

Great work. Is there a tutorial for doing this on our own for the articulations we use?

Great size reduction great sound though there seems to be a problem with a missing right channel in many of the nki and those with some R are extremely hard panned L.

This is the way that the samples are recorded.
They try to keep their position in the orchestra..

Would you care to explain how did you proceed to reduce the size of the library?
  Member 14.06.2021 64

Well, there are many steps to the procedure.
Some, depends on the library and some are standard.
- I usually extract the .wav files doing a "Collect samples/Batch compress" from Kontakt.
- I check the instrument groups to see what samples are used for what mics. This can be difficult or not, depending on the library's developer.
- I move all the samples that I don't need to another directory.
- Then I convert the remaining, useful ones with a program of mine (KataLib) to 16bit, and if they're at a sampling frequency higher than 48khz, to their half (The conversion from 96khz to 44.1khz is best avoided because it produces mathematical errors. Halving is much better).
- After that I use some python scripting to copy empty samples with the names of the ones I didn't use, next to the converted ones.
- Some libraries require editing of their scripts, to add/change some GUI elements and/or functionality.
- Another tedious step is to open every single instrument/multi and resave it with new mic and reverb settings.
- I then resave the library from Kontakt using the "Collect samples/Batch compress" option.

@noembryo: Well you're doing a good job and thanks for adding these. It seems that our processes aren't exactly the same and we do things a bit differently. I'm working on a step-by-step tutorial that would be posted soon on the "sister site". I believe it will save you some time in a few steps.

quote by noembryo- After that I use some python scripting to copy empty samples with the names of the ones I didn't use, next to the converted ones.

Unfortunately I didn't get exactly what you do at this step. Could you elaborate it a bit?
  Member 14.06.2021 64

I use empty samples, .ncw with no sample data in them, instead of the original ones.
To do that I have to remove every sample that I don't use and put an empty one with its name in its place.
After that, Kontakt finds the files it needs but we don't use the hard disk space. :o)

OMG, he removed the Bartok Pizzi! Deadly fail (IMO)...
But thanks anyway.

As stated in the post:

The primary motivation for @noembryo as well as myself for making these are personal use. So it might be that they simply don't need those articulations in their work.

I just begin exploring - now, everything works so far - there is though this: in the Kontakt window it says 'DEMO' in red letters, to the right of the i.e. 03 Violas etc. Does that mean it's suddenly going to stop working or can I just ignore that?

EDIT: the library stopped working with the message 'NOT ACTIVATED' - how would I activate ???

So - just in case there are others than me trying to figure out what's wrong and hoping to get an answer from the 'community' - after hours of research and testing this and that: the mistake I made was selecting the library via 'file' - that won't work. But adding the library via an old 5.something version of Kontakt and then switching back to the latest Kontakt version makes it work.
