Hey Guys,
I get the Arturia collection 11 from the "other side" an want move the installed plugins to the SSD. ASC is not working, maybe because it is from the other side. it is possible to move it without ASC? or is it not normal that ASC will not open with this version?

 

I thik you probably should not use ASC at all. Firewall it. All the plugins do is check that it is there.

I'm not sure why you would want the plugins themselves on the SSD, to be honest. I know an external is almost as fast as your internal but it still is not 100.00000%. So there is no benefit to running them that way. However, they come with a huge amount of data which is exactly what I would want on the external instead of my system disk. I do this with everything. You can just install the plugin normally, and then use command line or powershell, etc; to move all the content to your external drive and create a symbolic link. That way your plugins think the content for them is exactly where it expects to find it. You are just forwarding where the plugins look for their data.

 

Arturia Software Center (ASC) - Customise your resource folder location

https://support.arturia.com/hc/en-u...r-ASC-Customise-your-resource-folder-location

All the instruments and FXs resources can now be relocated to another folder of your choice via Arturia Software Center on any other volume/drive of your choice (Preferably an SSD drive).

Choosing your own custom resource path is useful if you’re working with multiple drives/devices or limited internal storage.

Notes
A folder named "Arturia" will automatically be created at the end of the path you've chosen.

• For optimal performance, the usage of an SSD is recommended.
  
  
• Do not disconnect your internet connection during the transfer.
  
  
• Do not interrupt the process during the final 10% of the transfer.
  
  
• This customisation feature isn't designed to share one single folder located on an external drive containing all your resources across multiple computers.

• Please note also that we do not support resources locations set to "External Drives mounted as Folders" on Windows which will lead to GUI issues.

 

i have a Mac with small internal storage. Kontakt 8 and a lot of library's works well with external ssd

 

like I say it, ASC is not working with this version. I need another solution

 

Guess I could store plugins for Mac that way but my next upgrade will technically be able to not need to have external storage plugged in for it, it’s all on my windows laptop so if I ever get it for Mac it’d have to be saved for my upgrade, good thing Pigments is separate from the 50 gigabytes GRRRRRRRRR

 

Most of them do. But there are a decent number of pros to going with a smaller capacity ssd for your system disk anyway, other than just cost. Cost is the biggest one, but internal vs external is almost a wash now. I symlink anything over about 2gb, if I can; just never the actual plugin. It's way easier to just keep everything on the system drive default location.

 

Steps to Move Manually

1. Close all DAWs and Arturia plugins.
   
   
2. Copy (don't just move yet) the entire Arturia folder from its default location to your SSD (e.g., create D:\Arturia or /Volumes/SSD/Arturia).
   
   
3. Verify the copy completed fully (check file sizes match).
   
   
4. Delete the original Arturia folder from the default location (e.g., C:\ProgramData\Arturia).
   
   
5. Create a symlink/junction pointing back to the new location:
   

macOS (use Terminal):

text

sudo ln -s /Volumes/YourSSD/Arturia /Library/Arturia

(Replace paths as needed; enter your password when prompted.)
