This is just quick hint of the complexity and creativity available when using the Instrument Wizard.

Load Status

The load status of an instrument is very important when you are editing. When the instrument is loaded into the sampler, the LOADED light is green. You can play the instrument while you edit, and you can hear the changes in real time as long as the RELOAD light is not glowing.

2.Click the Download button.

3.Make sure your keyboard is sending to the correct channel and connected to the correct port.
