This distribution includes both the full version 3.0 of the library and the update from version 2.7 to 3.0.
If you already have version 2.7 installed , simply download the “SC.Hammersmith.Pro.V3 UPDATE” folder from this distribution, copy its contents to the library folder, confirm the file replacement (instructions included), and re-add the instrument to Kontakt. However, I encourage you to download the entire distribution so that those who don’t have the previous version don’t have to use two distributions and enjoy good speed. Thank you for your understanding.
