Drum Rack Constantly Loading Minimal Kit Preset on drop.

[anthonyvigh]

Yeah so i've been testing out Live 8.2.7b and enjoying my experience with it. But I recently tried out the set default template setting. Then wanted to set it back to normal again and for some weird reason drag and dropping a drum rack always defaults to the Minimum Kit and I can't load an empty drum rack, frustrating. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi, anthonyvigh!

take A look into Manual
(you can find Manual under Help menu)

CHAPTER 16. WORKING WITH INSTRUMENTS AND EFFECTS p217

To save the current settings of a device as a default preset, open the (PC) / Ctrl
(Mac) context menu on the device’s header and select Save as Default Preset.

...take care

I dont have the manual man. Eg. I bought the download version. And its just the empty drum rack drop thing thats not working properly.

manual can always be found under Live Help Menu. Alt+H >> second line

anyway.
You can modify device as you like then save it as default preset. So if you remove everything from drum rack and save this as default... it will be it... (it works on beta too just checked)

probably default preset which was overwritten can be found in Live Library into Defaults folder
(something like this: C:\Users\...\Documents\Ableton\Library\Defaults\Instruments). Drop it on device view and save as default preset.

There was one more way to reset device defaults by deleting something but I don't remember exactly - I'm not sure to explain where and what )

Thanks, all fixed.
