in Komplete Kontrol

My Arturia plugins are installed on an external drive which seems to make them unavailable to my Komplete Kontrol (it sees no Artuira content). Is there any way to get them in there?

    Are you sure that the NKS files are on the external drive? Not the samples, the NKS!

    Originally, the NKS files are at:

    "C:\ProgramData\Arturia\plugin_name\Third Party\Native Instruments\presets"

    Every plugin has its own folder so it might be necessary to add them all, one by one.

    Also, check your Registry at:

    "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Native Instruments"

    All Arturia folders are there, so just click one of them to see what is the exact path.

    Hello

    Open Komplete Kontrol Preferences, go to Library —> User, add the folder path to your Arturia NKS and re-scan

    If the plugins themselves are on an external drive (not a good idea really) then the plugin path will need adding too

    Thanks for the answers. @Sunborn I did that with no change and @Kymeia They're not, just the supporting files/samples as per the Arturia Software Center preferences. Mainly just samples on the external, but the way Arturia does it that includes the NKS folders as well. I suspect the issue may be that Arturia puts an alias to the external drive folder rather than just seeing it directly. I'm wondering if this throws off the KK software.

    Ok you did say the plugins but never mind. This might be a question for Arturia support, you could be right about the shortcut throwing KK off

    Yeah I could see it going wither way as far as who's problem this is. I guess it's just mine ;)
