    HI. I've just had to clone my 12TB's of Kontakt content ( ie: samples and related files) on an external 12TB Lacie to a new 32TB RAID. All went well: got a perfect copy.Obviously, I wish to use the new drive for running my Kontakt libraries in Logic, as before. I thought the best way to do it would be via the Native Access and use the "Relocate All" button, BUT...

    In the list of Kontakt libraries there are also some soft synths, like Absynth and Reaktor. I clearly do not wish to move those, but there seems to be no way to "deselect" them, and avoid them being moved from the Native Instruments folder in my Applications folder on the system drive.

    Is there any way around this, so I can avoid the massively tedious method of moving libraries over one at a time. 12 TB's of this would, frankly, be Hell on Earth. I suppose I could move Absynth, Reaktor, etc. over then put them back again to their proper location, but that seems altogether inelegant and clumsy. Or does NA exclude the soft synths from the relocation?

    Furthermore, what about all those libraries that are not on the NA list? The ones that don't appear in the Kontakt browser window. Are they somehow reindexed along with the NA ones? I did this years ago, moving from a 6TB to the 12TB, and it worked perfectly but I cannot remember how I did it! Don't think it was with NA.

    Thanks for any suggestions. If this has been covered elsewhere, apologies. A link will be appreciated. Cannot find any matching thread.
