to the copy protection of the library; the samples cannot be
extracted nor resaved.


There is an option to save the patch with absolute sample paths
enabled or disabled. When you save with absolute paths enabled,
the patch file includes a direct and absolute link to the location of the
encoded samples on your hard drive. In other words, the absolute
path will reference your hard drive name and the exact subfolders
which the encoded samples are stored. This is the best option to use
if you will not be sharing this library among multiple computers and
intend not to move the location of the encoded samples. By doing
this, every time you load one of the user patches, it will instantly and
automatically find the samples.

By disabling the absolute path option, a relative path is used instead.
For example, if you save the instrument in a subfolder which sits
alongside the encoded sample files, a relative path will read
something like "go up one level in the folder hierarchy and you'll find
the encoded samples there." Relative paths are the best option if you
think you may move the samples around. Be sure that the relative
location between the newly saved patch and the encoded samples
stays the same in order to make sure the samples can always be
found automatically.

If a saved patch ever loses track of where its samples are stored, you
will be presented with a dialog box upon load which prompts you to
find the location of the samples.

Instruments and multis saved from within Kontakt Player 2 are
accessible through the Browser's User Instruments and User Multis
menus, and can be used by anyone who owns the same library,
