Will it be an issue if I had move the Arcade Content folder to a external HD? Can't see Arcade in Komplete Kontroll at all. Have done exactly as the info says with the NKS Folders. I'm on MAC Catalina.

 

It should work with an external drive, I just installed it on one for a friend.

Dont know about mac, since I didnt try it with my macbook. I might try it later.

 

Well, I had to use a earlier version of KK so now I can browse all kits in KK, but Arcade still doesn't show up in Maschine. Maybe it's a version issue here also.

 

i dont know about maschine tho. should it work?

 

hi all , could anybody please do a recap for installing on mac from zero ? with any tricks and tips ( im currently on mojave logic 10.5)
thanks a lot

 

Yeah, I just have to restart the MAC so now it's working on both .

 

How to install the arcade content to an external drive? mine is getting installed in program data even after i select the path to external drive?
Any solution?

 

you tried changing your path in the paths.xml file?

I installed my Arcade Library locally on a different drive but not an external. I tested it for you.
I just moved the whole Arcade folder to my external drive, changed the path in the paths.xml file and it still worked:



and these are the folders if you wonder how big they should be (I imported everything):


to the left is folder in ProgramData which consists of your local settings and stuff and to the left is the library folder which I moved to my external drive.

the LINES folder is empty or there is something inside ?

 

you need to reinstall/add/convert the sound libraries once again

i am also doing the same thing and it will work like a charm

install one and check it out first.

 

Forget it, brain fart has now passed.....all done.
Hi.
Really easy and quick question.....
I am on Mac and can't figure out where to place the Arcade.aaxplugin file that's located in the extracted AAX folder.
I have looked in - Application Support/Output/Arcade but there isn't a file named Arcade.aaxplugin to replace?
Where do I put it?

Path:
HD > Library > Application Support > Avid > Audio > Plugins.

Hope this helps you mate !

 

Thanks mate it did.
I have another question.
I extracted all the content to an ext hard drive, when I open the utility, in the drop down it only shows my user name, users and hard drive (not ext).
Do I import from the ext and if so how?
Or do I open Arcade and change the path there?

 

HD > Library > Application Support > Output > Arcade > paths.xml

Open the paths.xml file via TextEdit and change the path there.

path="/Volumes/NameOfYourExtDrive/Arcade/Arcade Content"

should be something like this

hope that helps

 

When I open output as a standalone, the imported kit shows when I scroll down but on my DAW it doesn't scroll down????? (I'm on Windows by the way using FL Studio)

Hey,
Thanks for the assist.
I changed the xml as per above.
I may be doing this wrong but I changed to the same path in Arcade Utility and chose 1 kit in the Import From box and hit import -
/Volumes/1TB/Arcade/Arcade Content/After Hours
The Utility said import successful but I still can't open the kit.

Is this correct? (See attachment OA Utility)

Or should the Arcade Content box also read -
/Volumes/1TB/Arcade/Arcade Content

Do I need to change anything in the plug in settings (Plug in loads fine)

Thanks in advance.

 

Hey, we'll fix it!
Right now youre importing to: /Library/Application Support/Output/Arcade/Arcade Content
and that means youre not saving it to your external Drive, but to your localdrive.

like you already suggested, it should be a folder on your external drive, but if you've changed the path in the xml file and opened the plugin once, the utility tool should automatically recognize it.

so maybe look into your xml file again and change it if it isnt your external drive.

 

So, since we already have a solution for complete controls, there is only one thing left ...
It's about the size, every time I open an Arcade in Komplete Kontrol it opens in its largest size, it will not know that I chose a medium size ...
does anyone know the solution?

 

Hey
I am sorry I am still struggling.
I haver attached a screen-grab of the plug in, xml and the utility paths.
If you could tell me what the paths on the utility should both read based on my xml path that would be great!

Once the paths are correct do I just name the import from to each individual kit and do them all singly?

 

No worries, it can be confusing.

The path in your plugin is correct, but you're importing the wrong way.

Arcade Content: This should be the same as in your plugin. If you would use the tool and import with these paths, it will save it onto your local drive. Just hit select and then choose the folder on your external drive

Import from: This is where you select the banks from your downloaded folder. You need to import each bank one by one.
So for example: Select "After Hours" and then hit "Import". After the import is finished you need to do it with another bank until you've imported all of the banks.
