Why is my Komplete Content folder appearing in Komplete Kontrol browser, and how can I fix it?

OllieHensby · June 21

Hi,

I recently moved my komplete content folder to a new external drive. I believed I had done everything correctly through Native Access as it relocated everything fine, and Kontakt 6 still works as expected,

however when I open Komplete Kontrol or Kontakt 7, it shows my komplete content folder in the browser instead of the individual libraries as it normally should (I'll attach an image of this)

. The other libraries still exist within the folder but it bugs me, and makes searching for sounds impractical. Now looking at other posts on here it seems the mistake I made was to copy over the content folder instead of moving it and that is likely why this is happening, however I can't find any answer as to how I would go about fixing this. I've just tried reinstalling one of the libraries to see if it will recognise it properly but it made no difference.

Any help would be appreciated, cheers.

I think that this usually happens if you move content after installation without following the proper guidelines for moving things (delete content at old location and relocate content using Native Access) and that you rather have just moved something, moved something to the wrong location or moved something and kept old location also.

I am not entirely sure how to get a good overview of things and remedy this.

Be sure to be using latest version of Native Access for your OS

Try exit all applications ,

then reset the Native Access XML file , look at section 8 here : My Product is Missing in Native Access .

then reboot

then reset the KK DB My Komplete Kontrol Browser is Empty or Incomplete

then reinitialize the KONTAKT Database

Cheers for helping me on this, I have a couple more questions. When I looked for the Native Access XML file I couldn't find it in the service centre folder, there is only one file titled "pal.db" (not sure whether I may have deleted the XML file already while trying to fix this). I'd actually already tried resetting komplete kontrol before but it didn't change anything to my knowledge. Maybe I'll have to delete and reinstall all my libraries?

Something looks definitely off here. There should not be this folder here. How did you move content exactly?

Messing with XML files here is a little premature. First we need to figure out how this folder came to existence here.

Where are your libraries installed on your system when you check in Native Access ? On this Komplete 13 Content folder?

Hi Jeremy,

When I moved the content from the old external drive to this new one I copied everything across (which I now realise you aren't supposed to do) and changed my settings for content/download location in Native Access, and that all still looks correct:

It relocated everything fine from within Native Access, and my Kontakt 6 is working as expected, it's just Komplete Kontrol and Kontakt 7 where this is an issue.

Ok so please reset the database for Kontakt and Komplete Kontrol, following these steps:

Reinitialize the Komplete Kontrol Database

Note: The User Library folder is hidden. See this article for instructions to access hidden macOS folders.
Search through the Native Instruments folder at this location to find the Komplete Kontrol folder.
Delete only the Komplete Kontrol folder found here.

Reinitialize the Kontakt Database

Hold down the alt key on your computer's keyboard and click Go in the Finder menu bar. Choose the appearing Library entry in the drop-down menu.
Navigate to Application Support > Native Instruments.
Depending on the Kontakt version you are using, delete the following folder:
Kontakt 5: "Kontakt 5"
Kontakt 6: "Kontakt"
Kontakt 7: "Kontakt 7"
Kontakt 8: "Kontakt 8"

Path changes that you do in Native Access file management only works for future downloads after that you set it. As far as I know then N.A. will still remember stuff as being at old place unless that you use the relocate function instead. (See my initial post)
