I purchased a loop/sample library that has a collection of patches for NNXT, but there is no proper installer. All the install directions tell me is that I can put the patches anywhere on my hard drive. What I can't figure out is how to actually get the patches/library into Reason/NNXT to actually use them. I've searched everywhere on my Mac, and I can find no folder anywhere on my hard drive that contains the factory patches for NNXT that comes with Reason. I have no idea where to put these patches or how to get them into Reason/NNXT.
How do I load third party libraries like this in Reason/NNXT?
Thanks.
How To Load Third Party Patches For NNXT?

Assuming it's a Refill, you just need to navigate to the desired folder via Reasons file browser.
The question is - Who cares
Whether it's a Refill or just a folder with .sxt presets doesn't matter. Place the folder wherever you wish. You simply just need to navigate to that folder location in Reason.
I've done that, but every time I attempt to load one of the patches I get a "sounds could not be found" pop up and I end up having to search files/folders. Is that really what I have to do for third party patches... every... single... time I load one? That seems wrong.

Ah, now I get it. Since the NN-XT is a sampler the "sounds could not be found" message indicates that the samples used to create these patches are missing. So I think there should have been a folder containing the required samples in your download.
The question is - Who cares
Ah ok. That's an issue caused by the developer of the samples. Patches were created with the samples in a separate folder on the developer's computer, so the presets don't know to look for the samples in the same folder. You can easily fix this by re-saving (overwriting is fine) the patches after loading them.

Have you tried loading the samples from the bottom half of the NNXT? One shots load at the bottom of the nnxt.
You misunderstood my last post. It isn't about you moving the samples to the same folder. You have to save the patches again after loading them so that it remembers the location.

Ok. I tried that man. Still doesn't work for me. I load a patch, find the sounds and then resave the patch. Then when I go back to load that patch, I get the same "sounds not found" pop up. Resaving the patch after loading doesn't seem to do anything.

That's odd. I just double checked by creating a patch and then moving the sample. Reloading creates that dialogue to which I locate the sample and resave. Next time I load the patch it knows where the sample is. Something's off on your end. Sounds as if Reason can't automatically find whatever folder you put the samples in. Do you have any duplicate folder names by any chance? And of course you're loading and resaving the same patch?

This shouldn't happen.

Try putting the samples in the same folder 'as' the .sxt file as opposed to having the samples folder in a folder. Name the folder the same as the patch.
