I have Komplete Kontrol 2.6, and although i have added the path of the folder for Acarde in Preferences > Plug Ins > Locations, is not showing up in the Instrument (left panel).

The thing is, if i click the little down arrow that's next to the magnifier icon on top of Komplete Kontrol, and go to Instruments, i can see an Output subfolder with Arcade. The problem is that if i add Arcade through that process, is the same as loading it regularly, where is a chaos of presets.
I've read that with KK you can easily search presets.

Any tips?

 

Don't load Arcade from right panel instead Click on little User icon bust /O\ on the left and load OA from instrument below it... BTW I am using KK only for Arcade, it's a good hack

I'm sorry, but i don't get which one is "the little User icon bust /O\ on the left" you mention... i feel dumb, sorry...
On the left pane, i have the keyboard icon that opens the Instruments panel (that's where i see all my plugins), then the recycle icon, for the loops, and a waveform icon for the One Shots. Then i see like a head shape, i thought that was what you mean, but that didn't showed me Arcade, it only showed me 4 instruments, btw i don't know why, cos they are random instruments, i didn't found any relation between those.
It is supposed to be there?
Thanks

 

Another thing: i have the Output's path added to the Location section, but in the other tab, the Manager one it doesn't appear. Maybe that will give you a hint of what i must be missing/doing wrong.

 

Alright same thing happened with me.. I can help you through anydesk if you like..

 

Unfortunately i don't use anydesk, but thanks anyway for replying and trying help!

 

Have you clicked on rescan button inside plugins window?

 

Yes, tried that several times. Even deleted the path entry, closed KK, re opened it and added again for another full scan. Nothing.
Don't know what to try.

 

Can you show me the window location of all your vst plugins from your preferences?

 

Don't you need new NKS presets to get Output arcade 2.0 to work properly in Komplete Kontrol?

 

Off course it needs resource files to show up in Arcade.. I missed it thanks for reminding me good sir!

Hey OP! In case if you didn't download Resource and Arcade Presets you can download the zip folder from here..
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/db1b4midjsvu2b4/AACTA7RFPhXJl3FaqYH7AJ4fa?dl=0
There will be two folders after extraction "Resource and Arcade"
Copy two folders dist_database and image inside of Resource folder and paste in C:\Users\Public\Documents\NI Resources
and paste Arcade folder to C:\Users\USER NAME\Documents\Native Instruments\User Content

Hey! thank you both of you for replying. Sorry i didn't sooner, it was 2am when i posted my last message and went to sleep
I will try what you suggest, but that sounds like a possible solution!

The location of my VST Plugins is C:\Program Files\VST Plugins 64 Bit
Output VST are located under that folder C:\Program Files\VST Plugins 64 Bit\Output

I will try what you suggested and let you know if it works! Thank you!!

 

Any idea about Mac? Where to place the Resource & Arcade?

 

Well, i've downloaded and paste those folders as you mentioned, then did a rescan, both Library and Plugins, and nope, no luck.
I still must be doing something wrong....!

Edit: i add more information.
In the Plug-Ins > Locations, Output Arcade location is added, but in Plug-Ins > Manager isn't listed.

 

Hey!!!! you did it!! you both made it work for me!!! Thank you so much.
I don't know why it did show up at first, but i keep doing rescans and closing it up, rescan again, and finally on one of those rescans i saw the the name "Arcade" showing up quickly in the scanning and i thought "this must be it!" lol.
So, at first i didn't found it, but then i remember what you told me yesterday about showing up in the user section, and there it was...

Mission Accomplish, you kind Sir!

 

MAC :
Copy two folders dist_database and image inside of Resource folder and paste in /Users/Shared/NI Resources
and paste Arcade folder to /Users/USER NAME/Documents/Native Instruments/User Content.

 

Another thing, just in case you may know, is there a pack of NKS files as the one for Arcade, but for the other Output software (Signal, Substance, Analog Strings, Analog Brass etc)?

 

Thank you

 

I will be studying this thread because I want to try this. I have to say though that the PDF of titles given in another thread looks very promising. If you have the titles you can bring them right up using the search on Arcade. It gives an error and asks us to refresh, but if you do that and then go back into the search page, your search is there and clickable. It's getting easier and easier to navigate. I downloaded files for komplete that someone put on dropbox, but I am not quite sure how to use it (yet). Quite often I am lost when I start these things, but if I just keep studying and asking questions and reading I get it. I went from not being able to load content to now loading and now getting a handle of navigating it. I don't think Arcade is unique but it is very useful, and some great useful stuff included. It is amazing the help we give one another!

There is a lot of outright crap on there, but then you find some great useful stuff. Enjoying it!

 

True, i don't know if it is worthy of the 77gb it takes, but there are some very cool sounds. I still didn't import all of the packs, cos i didn't have the time.
I'm curious to know if there's a way to delete a pack once installed it, in a way so it won't show up in the results.
