Hi,

I'll move the thread away as there is technically no bug, and because this is also in Live 7. We may change it in the future though.

Indeed, dragging an instrument or a Racks to a track header, or, double clicking the instrument in the Browser, would replace the whole chain of devices. If you want to only replace the instrument, you've got to drag it over the existing instrument, or where the instrument should be if there is none yet.

Regards,
Amaury
