Montage Live Sets

[Alrod]

Hello,
I recently purchased a Montage for my studio. I am a guitarist first and foremost, but like to use synths in my productions and am very particular about the sounds I use, thus the Montage. It is simply amazing!

I recently purchased the "Phat Analog 2" Sound Library from Easy Sounds. Per their instructions, I have to use the Category Search in order to view and select the performances. I find this to be a bit cumbersome. When I download libraries from Yamaha. they always come up as a Live Set and I still have the option of using the Category Search feature if needed.

Is there any way to make the entire Library come up as a Live Set? I know I can create my own Live Set, but again, I find this cumbersome. I simply want all the performances to show up as a live set (like Yamaha does it). Please let me know if this is possible. And if so, how. I find it odd that this is not a "standard".

As I continue to learn the Montage and learn to make my own sounds/samples, my preference is to create Live Sets.

Hi,

I'm afraid that is something you will need to setup yourself. The problem for a company like Easy Sounds is there is no way to know what Library bank you are putting their library into. The other challenge is that a Library or use bank can have up to 640 Performances, but a Live Set bank only allows 256 performances.

Thanks for the explanation. I hope that in a future release, Yamaha will allow for users to select which Library bank a 3rd party Library can go to. From a logical perspective it make sense. From a coding perspective, it doesn't seem like a difficult thing to do.

It would be a simple matter of a pop up screen asking which bank you would like for the library to go to. Or, have a screen with a selection of available banks.

Side note: I apologize if my use of "Library" and "Bank" are not accurate (still learning), but I think you get the idea.
