Where Does Superior Drummer Store Kits and Libraries?
Superior Drummer keeps kits, grooves, and mixer presets in Toontrack app data with sound libraries on chosen drives. Relink after moves.
Last updated
Superior Drummer splits drums into settings and samples. Kits, grooves, mixer chains, and tracker projects live in Toontrack app data, while the huge sampled libraries sit on fast drives you choose. The Product Manager bridges downloads and installs. Groove search filters by feel, not just tempo.
That split decides moves: relink library roots first, then restore presets. Exact paths may vary by version. SSDs earn their keep here; spinning disks choke on the voice counts modern kits demand.
Where Superior Drummer stores this, by platform
%appdata%\Toontrack\Superior Drummer\
Kits and presets in app data; samples on chosen drives. Exact paths may vary by version. Match drive letters on moves or drums go silent.
~/Library/Application Support/Toontrack/Superior Drummer/
Same split as Windows between app data and sample drives. Product Manager centralizes downloads. Keep installer files for version parity.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move sound libraries?
Reinstall the sounds to the new path, then point Superior Drummer at the library root in settings. Kits reference samples by path, so drive letters must match or every drum goes silent. Keep the installer files for version parity.
Do kits transfer to a new PC?
Yes through the Toontrack account for registrations; kits and grooves travel as files. Product Manager handles downloads and updates centrally. Back up custom presets separately; they live outside the libraries.
