We're not sure what the real nerds eat in the UK, but in the US, it's called a hotpocket. It allows them to eat with one hand, while typing on forums with another.

Great Live Pack , just bought it

One question , why are all the drum sounds fixed at c-2 ?

For me that means if I drag them to a drum rack they will not make a sound unless I delete fixed at c-2 module . .

Some class A sound design there

Thanx for this . .

You can drag a slot to another slot.
We chose to go with the C-2 in front of the Drum Rack, because the Drum Rack holds the correct pitch setting.
The individual Drum Racks are just capsules with a sound on the first slot, the "fixed at C-2" is there so you can hear a sound on whatever note you play. We made them, because some computers might have trouble loading up the Drum Rack with 96 Operator sounds in it.

Ideally, we would suggest you to load up the rack with 96 sounds and move/delete some sounds until you end up with a rack that works for you.
It might take a minute to load, but it'll be interesting to see that 96 Operators are only heavy on the cpu if you play like 20 or 30 instances at once.

Cheers

I find it curious how non-english people always swear in english.

BTW. How do you export an instrument? I have Impulse and a few Simpler sounds I want to back up.

(I've lost me manual - again

Start a new thread, you'll get a better response that way.
