You may know this but others may not. ST3 has and installs the entirety of ST2 XL - so "re-importing" as legacy within ST3 could waste ~6.5 GB of space.

I've moved and renamed all my IK "stuff" to another drive and did some renaming, I no longer use original default directories or parent directory names so can't swear the parent directory would be C:\...\IK Multimedia Instruments\...

However, having said that, when importing legacy sounds into ST3 there is no need to import the "..\Sampletank XL sounds" subdirectory of wherever/whatever you call(ed) the IK Multimedia instrument libs.

The "...\Sampletank" "..\Sample Tank L sounds," or "...\Sampletank XL sounds" subdirectory contains the ST2 free, L, or XL sounds which are now 100% included in the downloaded and installed ST3 parts under the various ST 3 Instrument groups called "ST2 XL."

So within ST3, under "Brass" in the ST3 interface list there is:

"Classical Brass,"
" Jazz-Pop Brass," and
"ST2 XL."

And under Drums there are:
"Alt Rock Kit,"
"Brush Kit,"

"ST2 XL"


I would suggest if you plan to use ONLY the ST3 app that you should import all the OTHER ST2 instrument subdirectories like
"…\ Miroslav Philharmonik Sounds," or
" …\Sampletron,"

"…\Vintage Keys,"

or any other add-ons like OmniSynth 2 that you may own. Since I will still be using ST2 for sometime to come I see no need, yet, to import and duplicate all those .sti's and samples in ST3.
