How to Move Your Momentum Files to an External Hard Drive

Last updated on 01 May, 2025

If you’d like to store your Momentum samples and kits on an external drive, follow these steps:

1. Locate Your Files:

Go to: [Users]/Documents/Big Fish Audio/Momentum

Copy the entire Big Fish Audio folder (not just the Momentum subfolder).

2. Copy to External Drive:

Place the Big Fish Audio folder onto your external hard drive in your desired location.

3. Update Folder Location in Momentum:

- Open Momentum (plugin or standalone).
- Click the user/account icon in the bottom-left corner and select Settings from the pop-up menu.
- In Settings, change the Momentum Folder Location to point to the Big Fish Audio folder on your external drive.

4. Restart Momentum:

If your browser inside Momentum does not refresh automatically, reboot the application.

5. Delete the Original (Optional):

After confirming that your samples and kits are loading correctly from the new location, you can delete the original Big Fish Audio folder in Documents.

Tip: Keep a backup of the original folder for a while, just in case.
