    Still duplicates in Maschine and Komplete Kontrol Browser. Please suggest a fix, deleting the Kontrol Folder including .db3 file doesn't work, the patches appear again. I also just uninstalled e.g. Form and still the presets appear, although opening results in "Error applying preset data: No valid reference to Ensemble in preset data."

    @Zenda If there are duplicate folders on your system, deleting the database will not erase the "physical" duplicates. You can right click a preset and choose "Find in finder", do it with duplicate presets, what location s do they show? Try to determine if there are duplicate folders, where they are and delete them, then reset the database.

    It points to the same folder.

    Yes, go to the 1st preset, right click show in finder, take a screenshot of the window, now repeat with the duplicate.

    I have written a deduplication python script, just change the path to you Komplete.db3. No need to rescan.

    Isn't your personal user path hardcoded?

    database_path = '/Users/nicosteckhan/Library/Application Support/Native Instruments/Maschine 2/komplete.db3'  # Update this path

    Also, not sure if it's a good ideia to let the script remove entries when you still have some instrument or pack with the same presets installed.

    Also there are at least 3 different reasons why dupes can occur so how would the script work if you don’t know what the cause is?

    Generally dupes can be the result of:

    More than one location for the same presets

    Preset location being moved but the database not being updated

    Database needing resetting

    I would suggest it’s always best first to right click in dupes to see if they are real dupes or database artefacts

    It simply checks if in each category (e.g. Maschines Projects or Groups) are duplicated presets. Presets haveing the same name but are in different subgroups are NOT affected.
