Why are KOMPLETE KONTROL dll's still installed in "Steinberg" folders? (Win)

Mark Alias · 2023-08-13T22:28:22+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I have both a "KOMPLETE KONTROL AM-Series.dll" and a "KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series.dll" duplicated in both "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Steinberg\Shared Components" and also in C:\Program Files(x86), same subfolder names.

Can I move these into a different VST2 folder? I don't have any Steinberg products and would rather a more logical location. Thanks.

Not sure if they would be VST plugins because there are not separate dll plugins for each keyboard, just a single Komplete Kontrol.dll which is for all keyboards so if those are the names, no idea what they are for.

If you have everything working already (you can load KK within your DAW) then personally I would just not be concerned with moving anything anywhere

Thank you JesterMgee! I renamed the "Steinberg" folders and everything seems to still work. I will post back here if I find a problem.

Ulterior (and useless 😂) info: there is a Steinberg folder for VSTs in computers because Steinberg invented VST, not because everyone has Steinberg products
