Ah! Great, thanks Ed,
More or less as I suspected. But I didn't think about the
saving/backing-up user selected kits. Makes sence! This is something
that I may want to explore. Mainly for back-up purposes at least,
though I may want to experiment with the exchange with other user's
kits aspect...?
I DO have (besides my DTXpress 1 & 3 brain/modules) an Alesis DM Pro
module, which I understand CAN load samples into the brain/module.
I've not figured out how to even use the DM pro! "Eh"...Another
subject entirely though!
Thanks again Ed, :) Steve
