Some of my instruments appear in an "Audio" subfolder in Kontakt 8.

Hi all.

I have placed all of my instruments on a large SSD inside an "Audio" folder. The Native Instruments content resides in "L:\Audio\Native Instruments".

They are displayed correctly in Native Access, but in Kontakt 8, some are located in an "Audio" folder.

The instrument packs in particular are: Action Strings 2, AliciasKeys, and Alicia's Electric Keys. I can load them from this subfolder, but it's hard to know which instrument goes with which tool.

Ashlight and Arkhis are both in that folder as well, but I reinstalled them and they now have their own icons outside (the instruments and tools are still in the "Audio" folder).

How can I move the items out of this subfolder to the root?

Hey @Tekkromancer Please don't make duplicate posts. I'll get back to you in the other one. I'm closing this one. It's just more practical, please don't feel that you are not welcome.

I should note that I didn't copy the files in the file system; I set the paths in Native Access under Preferences > File Management.

Download Location: L:\Download
Application Location: C:\Program Files\Native Instruments
Content Location: L:\Audio\Native Instruments\Content
VST Location (32 bit): L:\Audio\Native Instruments\VSTPlugins 32 bit
VST Location (64 bit): L:\Audio\Native Instruments\VSTPlugins 64 bit

Hello,

where do you see the audio folder within kontakt? You can right click on every preset and select "show in explorer". And the samples are loaded from a samples folder within the corresponding library folder.

Here's where Action Strings 2 is located: L:\Audio\Native Instruments\Content\Action Strings 2 Library\Instruments

I'm sure it's picking up "Audio" from the root subfolder for some reason; this where I have all of my audio data installing to.

I have the VST locations set to L:\Audio\Native Instruments\VSTPlugins 64 bit, so one would think that it would start relative to that location, and not the root folders.

Here is a screenshot of library in Kontakt.

It shows the Audio folder, which contains a few libaries like "Action Strings 2", "Action Woodwinds", and "Alicia's Keys".

You'll also note that neither Action Strings 2, nor Alicia's Keys (and the other packs) are displaying in the library with their own icons.
