Komplete 13 plugins not showing in Ableton

Alex Balayants

I picked up Komplete 13, and installed everything. My question is, how do I get all the plugins to show inside my Ableton 10. I have Kontakt, Super 8, Massive, and Massive X.

I cannot find Komplete Kontrol, Reaktor, Absynth, or Battery inside my VST's, even though everything is installed inside the same folder. Are those ONLY standalone?

Nevermind, I figured it out. For some reason, it created a new folder when I installed them also called VST, but was in the wrong directory.

Some additional info for you and others that need it:

You can also use custom VST folders, and you can even have the VST libraries on a different drive. I keep my libraries on an external drive for example, because they require a lot of space. You just have to make sure Native Access is installing everything where you want it to be, by setting the folder locations in the preferences. And then set these locations in the Ableton preferences as well.

You should technically see them popping up automatically in Ableton under the Plugins section.

Where are the plugins stored in your directory?
