**** OPERATOR? I AM AN IDIOT ****

Post by sparco » Sat Jan 06, 2007 12:21 am

basically, i have NO idea how to get it to work.. lets say i want to play using my novation 25sl... everytime i hit a key on the keyboard i have the same instrument..

can someone pls explain a newbie how to change instruments? and in what order If you watch the operator video you see some guy on the keyboard playing different instruments that he can select and then tweak... how does one pick different instruments? i drag operator into an empty track ... THEN WHAT? sorry, i am an idiot....

You can change presets by pressing the 'hot-swap' button in the right upper corner (the one with the 2 circular arrows) on Operator..
After you press that button Live takes you to the Operator presets in the browser..
Double click a preset to change instrument..

Why isn't such a smart advice in the manual?

yes but even when i press the hotswap button, all i see in browser is the same button beside the device operator... i cant actually select a preset... if i click on operator in the browser, there are no sub files underneath it... sorry again, i just dont get it...

download the operator live pack.
It was as if someone shook up a 6 foot can of blood soda and suddenly popped the top.
