    hi all, I've just reinstalled maschine 2 on a new hard drive and would love to have my libraries that live on an external drive show up withOUT having to reinstall each and everyone or adding to user tab, you'd think there would just be an add lib button for the factory prefs/locations

    any help is appreciated, thx!

    If it's a new install with no previous Llbrary installation on the main drive then you have to run the installers for the libraries again.

    I had the Maschine 2 Factory Library and eleven libraries installed on a second hard drive.
    After a clean install of Windows 10 it would be nice to just point the reinstall of Machine 2 at that folder.
