Hi,

likely, these are samples from the Essentials Live Pack
of Live 5, we will provide a Live 5 Compatiblity Pack
that should fix the problem.

Hi,

yes, this is probably a problem we just noticed:
when installing the Basics Live Pack of Live 6
(this happens automatically during the first start)
some samples that came with Live 5 are removed.

As said, we will provide a Live Pack with these samples
during the next few days.

Best, Friedemann

Will future updates of Live 6 include the missing presets or must everyone continue to download the packs?

Hi icedsushi,

the problem will be fixed in 6.0.2.

Hi DJ VAKIS,

you could do the following:

1) locate your Live 5 Library on disk
(the path is listed in the prefrences under 'Misc', 'Library')

2) in this library folder, there is a folder 'Waveforms'.
Rename this folder, lets say to 'Live5Waveforms'

3) Install Live 6 and let it upgrade the Live 5 Library

4) Rename the folder 'Live5Waveforms' back to 'Waveforms'

Best regards, Friedemann
