can anyone please help me?. I've just bought Traction2 and installed as per instructed but cannot get any drum sounds or registry. also how do i install my Micrkorg to play as a midi controller. i have also lost amplitude from the filters list. as you can see i am not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to computers.
thanks,

assuming your microkorg is installed as a MIDI device and is connected to your PC (MAC ??? ) then on the SETTINGS page you need to scroll down the MIDI DEVICES list on the AUDIO DEVICES tab and make sure the microkorg is 'enabled' as an input ... then on your EDIT page you need to assign your controller to the track you want to play into ... this will be done in one of 2 ways ...

1 - if you have 'per-track inputs' enabled you need to right-click the input slot on the relevant track and select your microkorg from there

2 - if you have 'per-track inputs' disabled you will see one or more arrows to the left of your tracks ... find the one called 'microkorg' and click-drag it to the track you want to play into ... it will 'glue' itself to the track when you get close enough

... if you want to use the knobs / sliders on your microkorg to control filter parameters thats a whole new game ... ill be glad to run you through that though if its what youre trying to do ...

lost amplitude from the filters list ??? if you mean the track volume slider ... thats in the NEW FILTER list and is called VOLUME AND PAN FILTER ... just click-drag the NEW FILTER arrow to the track you need it on and select it from the list when you release the mouse button ...

... to help with the drum sounds i think youll need to explain what youve already tried ... not sure what you mean by 'registry' either TBH ...

hope some of that helps ...

hi, the amplitude is the amp sims bundled with traction, and the drum registry is the list of drum samples also bundled with traction. I have installed it using the disc that came with traction but i can't find them anywhere using traction.

ah ... i see now ... my bad ...

1 - check the folder you installed the two plugins to ... it will possibly be called c:\VSTplugins or the like by default ...

2 - you now need to tell tracktion where to find the plugins ... start tracktion up and switch to the SETTINGS page

3 - click on the PLUGINS tab

4 - at the top there is a box showing the folders tracktion will scan for plugins ... if your amplitube installation folder isnt there just click on ADD PATH and browse to it

5 - click RESCAN PLUGIN DIRECTORIES and choose either option there (although for this purpose the top choice might be best) ... tracktion will scan the folders in the top box for plugin .dll files

6 - once the scan is finished switch to the EDIT tab and click-drag the NEW FILTER... icon top right onto the filter area (right-hand side) of any track ... the filter tree dialogue will pop up and amplitube SHOULD appear in that list somewhere ...

... as for the RMIV drum samples ... they SHOULD be wherever RMIV installs them to by default (in the same folder as the plugin itself ???) ... i dont have the bundled version of RMIV so i cant check this for you ... sorry ...
