When backing up preferences, I found that a number of my VST Instrument sounds (Padshop, HSO, Grand 3 SE a.o.) are located in the profile directory of Win7. To be precise, here: “C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\Content”. Now when conciously installing others myself, I pointed them on a location on my D:\ drive, cause I don’t want samples on my OS drive.
How can I change the location of these sounds without crippling the system? Uninstall and reinstall, just moving the files, or is there an elaborate way from within Cubase?
For padshop I simply moved the soundset to where I wanted it. When I started padshop it said it could not find the soundset and asked for it’s location. In the end, it placed a shortcut on my c drive pointing to the actual location of the content. HSO works the same way. I don’t have Grand 3 SE.
Thanks for the answers. I guess I’ll just move them then and get Cubase to ask for the location. Weird that Steinberg lets these things install anywhere they want…
