User Library
If you have a custom User Library location in your Ableton settings, make sure to save the same directory here. Otherwise the samples for the Ableton kit will be put in the wrong place, and the kits won’t properly link to the samples. There is a button to reset this to the default location.

Reveal Kits & Samples Folder
If you have trouble finding your kits, or need to troubleshoot where the files are being saved, use these two buttons.

User Library Help
This opens up our Ableton User Library Help page which has more information, as well as troubleshooting steps if you run into issues.

Ableton Kit Version
Use version ‘12.1 Simpler’, unless you are on an older version of Ableton Live (before version 12.1). Kit Maker starts with ’10 Simpler’ by default, so that older Ableton users don’t run into issues. But the app should prompt you and update this to version 12.1.

Tag kits with “Kit Maker” label
This “Tags” .adg kits with the “Kit Maker” tag by adding a folder of metadata files to the folder of kits. This is off by default. If you want to add the tag to kits you have already created, you can simply copy the metadata folder to your other Kit Maker folders of .adg kits.
