Hey all,
I recently bought a Thunderbolt dock (a CalDigit TS3) and am running into a hiccup trying to load samples via Kontakt. Essentially, every sample library I own is on an SSD that I have (until now) plugged directly into my laptop, so Kontakt has exclusively used file paths beginning with "D:\Samples".
When plugging the SSD into my Thunderbolt dock, though, its drive letter is no longer "D:\" - it is now "E:\" - so Kontakt (unsurprisingly) can't locate my libraries. I see that drive letters can be changed manually, but File Explorer reveals "D:\" is taken (it is apparently assigned to a "USB Drive" - I think this is most likely the TS3 itself?), so it seems that changing my SSD's drive letter back to "D:\" is not an option.
What I am really hoping to achieve is basically having a ready-to-go SSD that I can plug into any USB-C port - whether on my Thunderbolt dock or my laptop (or my other computer) - and Kontakt will know where to look for any relevant files with as little fuss as possible. If there's a superior long-term solution to updating file paths within Kontakt every time I use a different port for, I'm all ears! Any suggestions?
