So in 9.7 I tried to reset up my default drop in drum rack how i used to before the new simpler but now whenever I drop samples on previously loaded cells, the default instrument rack gets nested in the previous cells chain. how do i fix this?

I don't follow. What is "reset up my default drop" supposed to mean? Does the drum rack contain instrument racks from the beginning? Are you dropping only samples really? Only? How in the world are you dropping them? I don't see what you're describing happening, so likely you're leaving something out.

meant to say re set up my defaults. got a new computer and so i'm recreating my custom default for the "dropping samples in drum rack". previously i set it up so dropping samples on a drum rack cell would load the sample into a simpler with macros mapped to attack, transpose, etc. now (using what i remember of that method) replacing samples that were loaded in the former way causes the new simpler+macro device to be nested in the previous device's chain

This is what I did:

• worked on an empty Simpler
• Grouped it to an instrument rack
• Made macros to all controls in the contained Simpler
• Named this rack and saved under a name
• Moved this rack preset to folder User Library > Defaults > On Drum Rack

Now when I add a sample to a drum rack pad, it loads into this racked Simpler as described above, also when replacing an existing Simpler with a previous sample. What are you doing different?

Just realized I was mixing up the process of slicing defaults with drum cell defaults thank !
