Steven Slate Drums 4

INSTALLATION 1. Close your host software (eg. Logic, Cubase, Sonar, etc.). 2. Move or copy our folder (ends with ".lib") into your SSD4 Grooves folder. This folder is located in the SSD4 Library folder. Do NOT move the Groove Monkee folder with SSD4 at the end. Move the folder inside that ends with .lib! 3. Restart your host and the grooves should appear inside the groove player. Example: If you installed SSD4 in your G:\Programs folder, look for something like... G:\Programs\SSD4\SSD4Library\Grooves. IMPORTANT: At this time (1-12-2012), SSD4 Kits do NOT follow a consistent tom mapping. The kits have either 2, 3 or 4 toms. They are not mapped consistently and there are empty tom slots. For best results, you should manually fill all 4 tom slots, if necessary. Problems? Make sure that you moved ONLY the folder(s) with .lib at the end!
