Instruments i.e. will not load into new installation of Machine 3

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi all, I need help. I have installed the new Mashine 3 Bundle update for my Mk3 which included Ozone 11 and stem separation. When I now try to load any of my Kontact instruments i.e. The Gentlemen, Session Strings, Vintage organs, etc, It now says unable to load, and only plays the Preview. But it is still able to load all the other Synths and Massive, Monark Priem etc. I have installed all of my NI contents to an external drive and let NI install the application to C: Program files/Native. What am I doing wrong?

All sorted. my old C:/NI folder contained all the DLL files but I found all the VST plug-in files among the C:/Native Instruments/ Common files folder so I just copied and pasted them into my Old VST folder with the DLL files. All seems to work now. Pleased I joined this forum though Thanks for your replies

I’m afraid that “Smokey my friend, you’re entering a world of pain” (cit. Walter)…😔

First thing I would check is opening Native Access and see how your products are listed (installed, demo, repair,…).

And I would also check in Maschine preferences the Plugins and Libraries tabs, to see if the installation directories are still listed

Based on Paul saying it was an update, and using the word "now", presumably it was all working with Maschine 2 before - so it does sound like the content location needs adding to Maschine 3.

Thanks for your replys. Yes

PK The DJ & LostInFoundation, I think it's the frustration of location. One thing someone could tell me though, is now I have the latest MK3 Bundle, can I delete my old MK2 software? As for the location of the NI instruments, I guess it's tracing back to the location of the files. I noticed there are no VSTs for any of the instruments loaded in C:/NI/VST folder only the FX VSTs. Also, all the instruments play with the KOTACT 7 Player fine. Thanks all from a beginer
