Moving SampleTank Sound Content

Postby jwatts2 » Wed Aug 09, 2023 10:23 am

I've just installed an extra hard disc to my PC because the current is getting full. I want to move the SampleTank sound content from where it is on the old disc to the new disc, though (probably) want to keep the SampleTank programme itself on the old disc.

Please can you tell me the default path name for sound content and how to change it? Currently using SampleTank just as a VST Plugin, not as a standalone.

Thanks.

On Windows I think I recall that the default path is "C:\Users\Public\Documents\IK Multimedia".

You can move the All the folders and files in these to another location, e.g. "X:/IK Multimedia". Then run the stand-alone programs(s) and in the Preference Settings change the Sound Content location to the new folder. (The plug-in will use the same folder to find the sounds library.)

Would it be better to uninstall entirely and re-install?
