Yeah, yeah. Glad you like it. Don't know how you stomach an 11-step set of
sample chords though. Didn't mean to offend anyone.

Don't use them either. I like to make everything from scratch. My remix
partner does use loops, but we overlap mostly original drum compositions.
None of my solo work uses loops. BUT, I've got friends who have done some
really nice work with loops and cutting them up. I guess that's sort of like
hiring a session drummer. No biggie to me really.

If you install it on the root, it's fine. I never install apps on the root.
I had to dig and dig till I found the cause of the problem in a
multiple-level-deep page on the site which said you had to use RezEdit to
change the search path of the plugin. After learning this, I just decided to
move the folder to the root and name it to what the VST plug was already
looking for. Moral of the story, they could have provided a warning and VERY
easy instructions to avoid this mess. If that doesn't hold water for you
teddy, then I guess you are just a f__king genius! :D

I stand corrected. The slice idea is decent. My biggest complaint was the
one-octave set.

Teddy you're cool. Don't take me too seriously!
