When I installed GPO I placed its library on a samples hard drive. I did this because I use the samples with the Kontake player as well as full Kontakt and wished to use DFD when using full Kontakt.
The problem with doing this is that when one attempts to load a standard template from Personal Orchestra Studio or any other project that someone else set up (like a GPO tutorial song in CubaseSX), the samples are not located where GPO Studio or the Kontakt player expects to see them and asks if I want it to locate the files.
One important point here before I go on, the Kontakt player has no problem locating the samples when I set up a new song becausethe Kontakt player was set to look for its library on my samples hard drive. The problem on occurs when the Kontakt Player is attempting to locate its library where it was on someone elses computer when they set up a song file, or when Personal Orchestra Studio attempts to locate load a template that was supplied with the program.
When the locate samples dialog box opens, the button that would normally allow me to point to the file in quesiton is greyed out and can not be selected. The auto locate buttom as wells as all other buttons are available however. If I select autolocate, the files are eventually found, however it takes a very long time because the Kontact Player seaches all my hard drives in order (c, d, e, etc.) until it finds one sample, then it starts all over, searching through each drive again to located and load the second file, etc. This is a real pain. Either the program should allow you to point to the location to search, allow you to narrow the search in the auto locate mode or it should look at the location where the library patch is set in the Kontakt player before it starts searching the entire set of hard drives to locate missing files.
Has anyone else noticed this? If so, is there another way to load missing files (when your library is not in the GPO program folder) that I have missed?
Thanks,
Dave
