    I have been running a bit out of space on my external SSD.

    Is it possible to delete presets and sample from the Keyscape Library in a good way. Would like to keep only Yamaha C7 presets.

    Anyone tried?

    Delete Keyyscape and use this one or buy a new HDD:

    Vintaudio Ultimate Yamaha C7 Grand Piano Library 24BiT GS3 DVDR D1-2-DYNAMICS (REUPLOAD)
    FULL | DVD 1 + DVD 2 | $150
    2010 | DYNAMICS | GS3 | 4.42 GB + 2.25 GB

    I was thinking the same a few days ago. I, too, want only the C7. I am currently using the Kontakt Keyscape port. It sounds really good.

    i dont think that you can delete single Instruments

    The best shot would be,
    when installing Keyscape, the installer will prompt you to select one of two available installation types for the instrument: Full or Lite.

    The Full installation includes the complete collection of Keyscape keyboard models and uses a total of about 80GB of drive space on Mac, and about 75GB on Windows.

    The Lite installation uses a total of about 29GB of drive space on Mac, about 27GB on Windows, and installs a smaller selection of essential instruments, mostly catered to live performance. There is no difference in quality or samples loaded between installation types.

    The Lite installation simply installs fewer keyboards

    Included with the Lite installation are the following keyboards:

    • Hohner Clavinet C
    • JD-800 Crystal Rhodes
    • LA Custom C7 Grand Piano
    • MK-80 Contemporary Rhodes
    • MKS-20 E Piano
    • MKS-20 Electric Grand
    • MKS-20 Vibes
    • Rhodes - Classic Mark I
    • Rhodes - LA Custom “E”
    • Wurlitzer 140B

    Cheers Luiz

    It depends if Spectrasonics made monolith sample files, like they did for omnisphere for example.

    If they dont, one could go and delete all the other sample files, clean the presets and stick with the C7 only.

    Which C7 Port are you talking about @Thotu ?

    not really helpful.

    It is available on the Russian tracker. Search- "Keyscape kontakt" (It is 8.3 GB in size for all the pianos). You can download only the C7, which is around 1GB in size.

    I know, but the only safe method to manage space is to install the full library on an external or larger drive.
    How much space do you have left on your hard drive?
    You can compress other files that you don't need with WinRar to free up storage space.

    Technical Specifications
    • Huge library with over 500 “Best-in-class” sounds, 36 Instrument Models and Hybrid “Duo” Patches
    • Deeply Multisampled sounds with up to 32-way velocity switching, Round Robins, etc.
    • Mechanical Noise, Pedal Noise and Release Noise behavior modeling
    • Patches feature authentic circuit modeled amplifiers and effects
    • Available as Download (80 GB) or Boxed USB Drives Edition
    • Optional “Lite” installation (30 GB) for stage use
    • Full Omnisphere® integration
    • Apple Silicon Native

    Okay Looks like the C7 soundsource is one file alone:

    LA Custom C7 Grand.db and db2 - 15GB.

    and then i have to clean the presets.

    I failed to rebuild the zmap file and somehow Releases are very weirdly saved, so it works if you keep all files, but if only want the C7, you get this releases sample missing.
    So i gave up on this idea. Checking around 60 files, by hand, i have no patience for that.

    I opted for Pianoverse now for the moment, listened to audio demos and choose the ones, which i liked from the sound. I know it might be bigger than Keyscape.

    And i havnt yet tried the RTracker 8GB Kontakt library, which sampled Keyscape, but is super compact.
