Installing MOTU's Ethno Instrument on a Separate Hard Drive
01/08/2007

As with many large sample libraries, you may want to install the actual samples for Ethno on a separate hard drive. However, both the Ethno plug-in and the standalone application get installed on your startup drive. Normally, the installer will search for and locate where the library is, but if you open Ethno in standalone mode or use it as a plug-in and don't see the instruments and loops, make aliases of the sample libraries from your drives and place them in the same folder with the Ethno application. That way you are posting a "road map" to help Ethno locate the samples and loops. If it becomes necessary to move the samples in the future, just repeat the procedure.

“My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.”
