MOVE & RE-LINK NATIVE INSTRUMENTS SAMPLE CONTENT (KONTAKT, BATTERY, REAKTOR etc...)

[@FormntCtrl]

This made it SO EASY!!!! Thank you for covering this so thoroughly in 4 minutes. Why didn’t native instruments make this video? They owe you bro for real

[@nikku1166]

Finally, a legit video that's complete and straight to the point.

[@christopherjones9419]

Thanks so much! This was really super clear and useful!

[@DoitYHWH]

Thank you for this! I already have everything linked up to my 2nd HDD in my Mac mini so I’m good to go. But Native Instruments really needs to make uninstalling an easier process. Like Arturia, Softube, Waves, Korg, etc...

[@davidbueso3840]

Thank you so much! Great video

[@HBrown-jz6lx]

Thx! Definitely a needed video. Saved a lot of time!

[@soundsbureaux]

What a concise video - nice one!

Thank you for this! Got a new SSD last October but was hesitant to move my Kontakt libraries. Within 15 mins from watching this, I was able to move them all. Just a note that for existing projects that use Kontakt (I use FL Studio), some libraries might have issues locating their own "samples" folder (the dialog that pops-up does have a button to manually point to the new location).

[@pablogomez631]

Fantastic... super, super clear...

[@waveformsu]

Very helpful! Thankyou!

[@FourthKindBeats]

Thank you so much for this!

[@DeusNosSalvet]

there is no reloacte all button on the new native access 2 seems like one by one is my only options and that is insanity

[@DJSIXFIVE757]

I have a older Mac I Mac and I’m about to transfer my stuff to a newer Mac. What do u think will be the the way to transfer Maschine and plug-ins to another with using a external drive

[@ZarzaManta]

Can I have different drive locations for different libraries? I want to have my smaller libraries on my desktop and laptop individually and have bigger ones like session horns on an SSD so it can be used depending on which one I have it plugged in.

[@80pedacito]

and what about unfinished ongoing projects? with all libraries removed, relocate etc will the DAW be able to play songs as they were before ? it might sound silly but i am afraid loosing stuff i have not finished yet

[@mrcury8014]

Manually load them then then the daw will remember the location

[@theinfinitemonkeytheorem1671]

This is very helpful! However, when loading existing projects (at least in Samplitude) I still have to change the path for each and every project instrument that used Kontakt. (all other vst, and vsti that I moved work perfectly without issue). I don't think Kontakt likes us very much! Which maybe why East/West and Cinesamples (just naming a few) have developed their own players. Hallelujah! Looking forward to the day Kontakt is no longer necessary. It has made my life (and many others judging from multiple posts) miserible. Thanks again!

[@jaemarrs5189]

I moved all my Libraries to a external hard drive and Komplete Kontrol keeps saying "Could not load Plug-in"...You can audition the presets but they want load up I've uninstalled/reinstall and deleted everything and started over nonething seems to work...

[@eren3390]

Does this also work if i move to a new pc/mac?

[@themathrock1607]

Thanks dude!

[@izzysanchez4018]

Do you do zoom sessions?

[@erinbeaney1502]

Hi, I changed my file location for the downloads and content but it still installs to a different location. Any tips or is it just more of a manual move thing. Thanks in advanced!

[@NNYz]

hey! nice vid...just a quick q tho...I'm moving all my content ( and not the players as said ) but all stuff Ive installed so far seemss to have ended up in my shared folder...how can I tell which ones NOT to move? or have you got a list of players I shouldn't move?

[@BenoniStudio]

Don't move any of the programs! Just the samples.

[@jimshannononsounds]

Good video. A couple things come to mind: In my Cubase Pro 11 its reading my Kontakt 6 (icon is on my pc desktop) non demo mode from Komplete 12 Ultimate, Cubase is still reading this as a 32 bit plugin. NI says that Kontakt 6 by default is 32 bit then gets activated to 64 bit when out of demo mode. This isn't happening for me. Any idea how to change it to a 64 bit plugin? Second, in another video on this process it said that for the original location I need to change the location file from say Kontakt 6 add a letter or number so the host wont recognize the original location. I like your method better. Am I missing something here? Thanks.

[@BenoniStudio]

I don't know why you are loading a 32 bit version. Make sure you have the 64 bit VST path added in Cubase is all I can suggest. If you are not going to delete the original content, then you can change the folder name so it breaks the link in Native Access and you can relocate the libraries all at once. But since we deleted the original content folder, that's not necessary. Just make sure you have moved everything before you delete, otherwise you'll have to re-install content you didn't move.

[@jimshannononsounds]

@@BenoniStudio Thanks for the fast reply. I think I installed Kontakt 6 in 32 bit mode initially to save hard drive space because Kontakt 6 in 32 bit mode works fine in Fl. Studio. I only had Fl. Studio and a dead hard copy of Reason 10, which crashes on me upon start. I uninstalled Reason 10 and I can't even install it from the DVD anymore, but that's a whole separate issue. As you know Cubase no longer supports 32 bit plugins. I tried uninstalling Kontakt 6 hoping that by reinstalling it again from Native Access would change it to 64 bit but apparently its still 32-64 bit in Fl. Not just 32 bit or just 64 bit. Cubase still wont recognize Kontakt 6. It does in Cubase 6.5 though. At least I know how to move Kontakt 6 over to my new m.2 ssd I installed myself. Thanks for trying 😀

[@Musakast]

It seems easy but after doing exactly this- all my NI libraries are in Demo mode. So what next, reinstall everything?

[@BenoniStudio]

double check Native Access and make sure everything is authorized.

[@DANYRECORDS]

So many Capital Letters in the Tiltle, what is that supposed to do? You do know that Capitals equal yelling on the internet, or do you not know that?
