Has there been a reorganization of how Drum Racks are handled in L9 vs L8?

In Live 8 under Instruments/Drum Rack there are multiple folders, each of which contain various rack presets. For example, Instruments/DrumRack/Kick/ Kick-808 Classic.

In Live 9 there (at least how it is currently installed on my computer) under Instruments/Drum Rack there is only a single folder, Vintage, which has 3 kits. There is however another browser category for "Drums" which has lots of content but NOT the same as in Live 8.

I can get to the Live 8 racks thru the browser/Live 8 Library function....but shouldn't it be integrated?

Just click on the "Packs" option in the main (lower) browser, and in there you'll find all the usual stuff for Drum Machines.

Thanks.....it was indeed there. Another example of the odd reorganization of files....

yup its bullshit.
You can only use the search if you know the name of something.
I went by location but Live9s browser ruined that for me.
Havent got a clue anymore, I have mfl and instrument devices ALL OVER THE PLACE.
Not to mention an empty drum rack folder under instruments!!!
Its a pain in the arse

Found this thread because of the empty drum rack folder under instruments... Did you ever find a way to solve that?

Ditto. I came here as I only had "Vintage" under drum rack.

It seems odd that Drum rack presets wouldn't be under Drum Rack in Instruments.

Is there a way to rectify this?
