ABSYNTH 5 Reference Manual – 44
Using Old Personal Templates
If you want to use ABSYNTH 4 Templates in ABSYNTH5, you need to copy them to the new
Libraries folder.
•
On Mac OS X, your old Templates are located by default in the directories “HD:Library/
Application Support/Native Instruments/Absynth 4/Libraries/[subdirectories]”.
!
Please be careful! On a Mac, you should not replace the ABSYNTH5 Libraries folder with
the ABSYNTH 4 Libraries folder, since Mac OS X would overwrite all the new ABSYNTH5
Templates! Instead, you should open each folder contained therein and copy the contents of each of the
lowest level subfolders manually to the corresponding subfolder in the ABSYNTH5 Libraries directory.
•
On a PC, your old Templates are located by default in the directories “C:\Programs\Shared
Files\Native Instruments\Absynth 4\Libraries\[subdirectories]”. You should be able to sim-
ply copy and paste the whole ABSYNTH 4 Libraries folder to the ABSYNTH 5 Libraries
folder and click on “Replace all”.
In any case, we recommend you to back up your ABSYNTH 5 Libraries folder before touching it!
