Steinberg Black Orb Padshop Expansion

"I'd recommend using the Steinberg Library Manager (SLM). You can download the legit one from the Steinberg site and use that. I couldn't get it to work without it (and actually had some struggles even with it, but I resolved those).

Then what I did was place all the content for any of these Steinberg VSTs where I want them (i.e. whatever drive/location you want). I separated the content of the individual VSTs (Retrologue, Halion, Padshop) into their own folders, for my own OCD/organization purposes. Then, after SLM is installed, you double click on one of the .vstsounds in a particular folder, and it will open up in SLM automatically, and it will also install any other libraries in that same folder. From there, I checked off "Register in Place" (which I believe will keep the big files exactly where you placed them, rather than move them to ProgramData, or appdata or wherever they'd normally go).

Once they list within SLM, they should work in Retrologue or whatever VST you installed.

I had one problem where after SLM said the preset was already added, it didn't show in the list. If you run into that, just wipe out the %PROGRAMDATA%\Steinberg\Content folder and try again."
