Can separate libraries exist on different HD's at the same time??

[Roberto Giovannetti]

My sample drive has become too full to install any more large SDX libraries, so my question is…can I start installing future purchases on an external drive? I do not want to move my existing libraries, just put any additional SDX’s on a different HD. I’m on Windows 10 and I don’t see a way to do this using the Toontrack Product Manager as it will want to add any additional libraries to the existing folder on my internal sample drive. Do all the libraries need to be in the same location for SD3 to utilize them??

Thanks in advance,
-Bob G.

Yes you can install future SDXs on separate (preferably SSD) drives. I currently have my library spread across three SSDs. When you install new SDXs, you will have the option to “browse” to a new location to install.

The Rooms of Hansa? It has so much punch and really it’s like getting 4 SDXs in one. I dig it and have it already.
