NKS instruments are automatically added to your Library when you start MASCHINE or KOM-

Installing KONTAKT Instruments with NKS Support
Third-party developers of KONTAKT instruments provide you with a folder that contains all in-
strument files, including presets and samples. Instead of running an installer, this folder needs
to be stored on the hard drive. The instrument can then be activated with Native Access, which
also adds it to the MASCHINE and KOMPLETE KONTROL Libraries. If you are using KON-
TAKT, the instrument is automatically added to your KONTAKT Browser too.
