My issue was Kontakt standalone was trying to load libjack64.dll . I'm assuming it was from an old Mixbus JACK driver install. After I deleted that I haven't had any issues with Kontakt 7 standalone starting up. If reinstall etc doesn't work, it might be a similar zombie driver situation.

Let me try and be clearer.

I already have Syntronik. No plans at the moment to get Syntronik 2.

I installed Syntronik 2 CS because it's a freebie and wanted to try it and see what it's about.

I was worried that my Syntronik stuff wouldn't work anymore. (Until I re-read Larry's post)

So now that I installed Syntronik 2 CS, I started it up and to me it appears to look just like Syntronik, with the ST4 UI. IOW, nothing really new to me. If there is, I ain't seeing it.

Syntronik 2 CS installed it's sample lib on my C drive. I don't want that for future installations. Right now it's only 3 -4 gb. But I want to try and move that before it installs anymore libs there.

: )

You can move the library folder in Explorer, point to that location in Syntronik 2 settings and rescan. I suggest moving the root library folder to keep everything together; I've never had an issue doing it that way. I believe after that Syntronik 2 will install to the new location but I'm not 100% sure.

Anyone got AI up for sale? My better half bought me the upgrade as a surprise. Too bad I have an LE version..

I have a registered Elements 10 I don't use. The only wrinkle is that you can only transfer the license from one USB-elicenser to another on the same computer AFAIK. I'm in Vancouver, BC if you're close enough to make it work.

The upgrade from LE to Elements is not too bad though (it's $50 in the US Steinberg store) and then you can use your upgrade.

Are these worth using up disk space?

The sounds are generally quite good but nothing you couldn't get out of most synths you already have. The expansions are just samples of presets they have made with other synths anyway.  Most of the exapnsions are aimed at EDM but you can always just keep the ones you find interesting. Don't hold me to this but since they're sfz I'm pretty sure they load in Dimension and Rapture Pro too.

They also release an expansion or two with every Beat Magazine. I spent the better part of an evening downloading all the ones from back issues 😅. If you have a Platinum Plus sub you already have access to all the ones in the Novation bundle.

Had this happen a couple of years back. XLN Audio used to have the same problem but you could deauthorize the "old computer" yourself online. Got in touch with Waves and they reset the licenses for me. You used to get one free reset per license per year. Not sure if that's still the case. But, yeah, their advice was to use the USB stick going forward so they were aware of the possibility of the hard drive disappearing.
