MODO DRUM isn't seeing my sound content, what do I do?

With the MODO DRUM 1.5 update, we've added new kits for purchase and included a new free version which allows users to expand at their own rate to whichever kits they need. This has made some changes to MODO DRUM and how sounds are managed.

If you do not see your sounds, make sure MODO DRUM is pointed to the correct location with your sound content installed to it. Use the Settings menu (COG WHEEL in the upper right) inside MODO DRUM to set your Sound Content Path.

If you're not sure where your sound content is installed to, check any custom paths you might have set, then check the default paths below.

Below are the two default locations for MODO DRUM sound content for version 1.5.

• MAC: Users -> Shared -> IK Multimedia -> MODO DRUM
• PC: C:\Users\Public\Documents\IK Multimedia\MODO DRUM

• MAC: Application Support -> IK Multimedia -> MODO DRUM
• PC: C:\Program Files\IK Multimedia\MODO DRUM

MODO DRUM version 1.1.3 or earlier:

This version uses 3 .pak files containing all of their content. This includes the original MODO DRUM models (Excluding the new Silver, Brit Custom, and Metal). These files are named "ModoDrumData_000.pak", "ModoDrumData_001.pak", and "ModoDrumData_002.pak". These are installed with the MODO DRUM application installer (Pre version 1.5). Users do not need to re-download their original sound content upon upgrading.

MODO DRUM 1.5:

This version will have slightly different files for the same content. This is because the different kit Models These files will contain the drum kit name followed by a .pak file extension (Ex. "MODO DRUM Black Oyster.pak") and these are not included with the MODO DRUM application installer. These files are installed on their own via the IK Product Manager. The application installer will only include the Studio kit and an important file "MODO DRUM Common Elements.pak".
