I was curious if the being able to set the curves would help you get the tweaks that you wanted. That seems to be where the rubber meets the road with ALL drum samplers. The hihat is such a nuanced instrument. It's like saxophone in that every note can be approached in so many directions. -- Dave (Mod Bod) Modisette www.gatortraks.com www.gatortraks.com/forum
From: Neil Rutman on 25 Sep 2009 21:47 I quite like the new fx preserts for each piece of the kit. The I have tried are very usable.

I don't think your problem with the Avatar update is copy protection unless there is something that is popping up on the screen telling you otherwise. I've run into problems before and it was always because I had some file that was corrupted. If you have the time, you might want to reinstall the Avatar kit from scratch. -- Dave (Mod Bod) Modisette www.gatortraks.com www.gatortraks.com/forum

I can't remember how I remedied it. I'm not sure if I deleted it and somehow it rebuilds it or what. Let me know what kind of message you are getting and I'll see if I can get some help figuring out the problem. -- Dave (Mod Bod) Modisette www.gatortraks.com www.gatortraks.com/forum
