Hello, my Komplete Kontrol version 3.3.4 does not show me the u-he Hive 2. The PPG is also missing under Waldorf...but the attack is displayed. I have already tried everything possible. Reinstalling Komplete Kontrol, reinstalling Hive, rescans, and this too: https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/de/articles/209554889-Mein-Komplete-Kontrol-Browser-ist-leer-oder-unvollst%C3%A4ndig Unfortunately u-he support has no more ideas either. It is displayed in the plug-ins, but not in the libraries. As mentioned, only one plug-in “Attack” from Waldorf is displayed. This can also be found in the factory directory. So how do I get the path into this factory directory? I have the same installation on a desktop computer...everything is running and all plugins are there. Only on the notebook it does not work. What can I do? Here are a few more pictures:
So, here is the solution. The installation paths are completely irrelevant. With Hive you have to install a VST2, then Komplete Kontrol will find everything.
Look at this:
Here is the Picture:
Actually I guess if you have it working on one computer you could export the registry to key to the other for Hive NKS
OK, but where and how do I find it?
This is the defacto u-he default install path for ALL instruments in Windows:
Documents\u-he\*Instrument Name*
Komplete Kontrol will pick this up with any user intervention whatsoever.
If you are installing anywhere else - you are (Unfortunately) making work for yourself.

Thanks - very different from on Mac
ok, I'll try again…
But why does it work on the other computer? And Hive is not installed under Documents there either?
I do not know the specifics of your machines - or why you are choosing to not use defaults for all your plugins.
I do know that I had the same issues with u-HE a year or two ago - trying to "do my own thing" installing plugins to a host of non-standard locations.
I reached out their support and their only answer was - "we do not support , test or acknowledge any custom locations other than the defaults".
I was too frustrated to challenge this statement so I reverted back to the defaults (and not only for u-He - but EVERYTHING when I built my new DAW) and have not had even the slightest issue whatsoever with any plugin since then.
One must weigh any advantage of using non-standard locations vs using the defaults. This specific case taught me a valuable lesson and resulted in the most trouble free environment I have ever used.
OK, all right...then I'll do it again like this...thanks
OK, installed everything again...no change. Hive does not appear...
Here is what all my u-He stuff looks like in Komplete Kontrol 2.9.6:
Did not have to do anything special - but make sure you hit Rescan.
And if KK is not seeing these paths without intervention - it may be because you already used a bunch of different locations previously - who knows what remnants are laying around.
I took a look in the Registry as well - and I see 88 keys/references for u-he. These ones are critical:
All I can offer - is I did not touch my KK dialog here or even need to rescan after installing my u-He stuff last February. It just appeared with no issues and off I went.
Fair enough. Except I did not install (nor do I use) a single VST2 - including Hive.
And VST2 is pretty much retired now.
Addendum: I would like to clarify once again that my statement that u-he support has no further ideas was not correct. I was already in contact with the support team and of course had the opportunity to contact them again if the suggested solutions did not work. I am currently discussing the whole thing with u-he and will then provide concrete feedback here as to what the problem was in the end. To be honest, I was and still am quite frustrated that the installation of 3rd party plugins keeps causing problems.
