How Do I Install RealiDrums?

Before we begin, you need to be aware that RealiDrums requires “Kontakt” or the free “Kontakt Player” in order to work. You can download the free Kontakt Player from HERE

Now, onto the instructions!

Downloading and extracting the files

To download your files, click the big blue button in your order confirmation email that says "Download Files".

On this page, click on the folder at the top of the page containing the name of the product you purchased. This will expand to reveal your download links, and a serial number. Take note of this serial number, as you'll need it for registering your product inside Native Access.

Once you have downloaded your files, you will need to extract or "de-compress" them. If you are on Mac OS, we recommend using a free utility called "The Unarchiver". For Windows users, we recommend using 7-zip. In either situation, it should be a matter of double-clicking the first .rar file (named "part 1"), which will create a folder called "RealiDrums". The contents should match the following image:

You can move this folder to wherever you like.

Registering with Native Access

Open Native Access and sign in to your account (or create one if you don't have an account yet).

Click the "+ Add a serial" button at the bottom left of the Native Access window.

Type or paste in the "License Key" number from your downloads page, and click the blue "Add Serial" button.

You should see a big green tick icon if successful.

Now, under the "Library" tab in Native Access, find Realidrums in the list. Click the "Add Library" button in the right column, then navigate to the Realidrums folder - (not a file that is inside the folder)

NOTE: If you have attempted to install Realidrums already, it might be listed in the "Installed Products" list in Native Access. In this case, it will probably say either "Repair" or "Locate" next to its name. In either situation, the steps are the same as written above - simply point it to your Realidrums folder.

Once successfully registered, it should now say "Full version" in Native Access next to Realidrums' name.

Using Realidrums

All that's left to do now is to open Kontakt, and find Realidrums in Kontakt's browser.

(Classic View)

Click the "Instruments" button to reveal the instrument file, and double click it to load.

If you'd like to use RealiDrums inside a DAW such as Logic, Cubase, Cakewalk, Studio One, etc. you will need to load the Kontakt plugin on your instrument track first, then you can load Realidrums inside the Kontakt plugin, just as I've shown above.

Make sure that Kontakt is installed and updated within Native Access.
