Any tips for installing Komplete 9 over Komplete 7 on an offline system?
 
I know there is lots of new stuff and that the Kontakt 5 library is stored in a different format.
 
How about the redundant stuff? I usually like to leave the stuff that is already working... working.
 
Any thoughts?

I would just install to a different Directory called \Komplete9

What!?!?!?...  and end up with 5 installs of Massive?
 
Which I have never used...

5?  WOW...LOL

Massive is.....MASSIVE!  Nice synth...

I started with Komplete 5... and each time I update it seems like a lot thinking has to happen. :-)

I know the feeling...that's why I always install to a new directory...that way..it's a lot easier to 
"revert" if required.  After I'm comfortable...then I'll remove the old one....but not until.

That was one of my issues with the EZ2 upgrade...it "irradicated" EZ1....not kewl...

Fortunately it was ok...but not wise on Toontrack's part...

I just finished intalling K9 last evening. I didn't have any previous versions of Komplete, but did have earlier versions of Kontakt, Battery, Reaktor etc....
 
I just made a new folder (Komplete 9) in the same samples directory........I'm thinking I just have to direct Kontakt to the older libraries in order access the older sounds.
 
This weekend will be a busy one with all these goodies in my basket. :)

I've started the process.
 
The first big question is: How do I know which VSTs are 32 bit only? If any?
 
In other words, I have a x64 VST directory, C:\Program Files\Vstplugins|Native Instruments
 
a 32 bit directory for VSTs with a 64 bit option: C:\Program Files (x86)\Vstplugins32|Native Instruments
 
and a directory for old VSTs that are only 32 bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Vstplugins|Native Instruments
 
I guess I have to guess that every plug in on the Komplete discs has a 64 and 32 bit counterpart?
 
Native Instruments support says "Most NI plug-ins are compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit host sequencers."
 
It would be nice to know for sure. :-)

In the X3 browser, under the plugins "Tab" 32 Bit VST's are GREEN in color...the others are normal....
So that will tell you whether or not they are 32 bit or 64 bit.
