Adding your instruments to the "sound" category?

[diordna]

Is there a way an instrument or drum rack can appear in the "sounds" section of the live 9 library? I see that my instrument appears in the user library as well as in the instrument section, but I don't see a way to designate my instrument as a specific type (bass, pad etc.) and have it show up when browsing sounds. Wondering if this is possible.

As far as I know the Sounds are Ableton's Factory presets category and you cannae put yer own sounds in there.

I find this quite annoying. especially when you just want to use your own sounds and maybe a hand full of Ableton's Factory pre-sets.
You can't even delete or hide any of the factory content, like you could in Live 8.

Hopefully, fingers crossed! Ableton will sort this out. Some times I feel Live has gone one step forward and then two steps back.

For some reason it's not described in the manual, but it's possible. You just need to save your instruments into folders named after the existing Sounds category. Say you save a device in your User Library in a folder called "Bass", it will show up alongside factory content in the Sounds category.

Unfortunately this works only with existing folders. I.e. you can't create a new Sounds category.

Hope it helps.
