Installation

Each package contains two types of files:

  • database (and image) files
  • preset files

Database files

The database files contain information about the plug-in, like the name and type of instrument.

Copy the subfolders of "dist_database" folder to the following location:

Windows: C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\NI Resources\dist_database

MAC: /Users/Shared/NI Resources/dist_database

Image files

The image files, that are used by the Komplete Kontrol and Maschine browser to show nice presentations of the plug-in. You don't need them for browsing, but it just looks better if you do install them.

Copy the subfolders of "image" folder to the following location:

Windows: C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\NI Resources\image

MAC: /Users/Shared/NI Resources/image


Preset files

These are the most import files. They represent all the tagged presets. Copy the folder named after the plug-in to the location of your user library for Komplete Kontrol or Maschine. If there is already a folder named after the plug-in, you can just copy the subfolders to it.

By default the user library is located at:

WIN: C:\Users\[USER]\Documents\Native Instruments\User Content

MAC: Users/[USER]/Documents/Native Instruments/User Content

However, I would recommend to create and use a separate folder for these preset files. Than you can add each preset folder separately in the Komplete Kontrol settings. The number of files can be quite large, and using separate folders gives you the opportunity to rescan them individually. Especially when you have set the user folder to be scanned at startup, this saves a lot of time.
