MaaTec Kontakt Patch

Inofficial Kontakt AKAI Patch for Windows

You can download an inofficial Patch for Native Instruments Kontakt here. This patch may solve the problem, that Kontakt does not detect AKAI CD-ROMs on some systems. If you do not have these problems or don't want to load sample CDs in AKAI format, you don't need to install this patch.
The patch offers two patch versions. The first should work in some special cases, while the second one is more a 'brute force' patch , which will hardcode your CD/DVD-drive letter into the Kontakt.dll. I'd recommend you try the first version at first and if it doesn't work, try the second one. If you change your drive letters, you will need to reapply the second patch.
And you can now restore the original version of the Kontakt.dll with the patch application.

Installation

  1. Download the zipped Patch file (19 KB)
  2. Unzip the file to your Kontakt folder (which contains the Kontakt.dll)
  3. Make a backup-copy of your Kontakt.dll
  4. Run the KontaktAkaiPatch.exe and follow its instructions
  5. Please remember to REFRESH the view (Tools Button) in Kontakt after inserting a new CD-ROM
