    Hi,

    I'm building a sample player using 3 pre build ensembles and stripped them down to what I am going to need in my instruments --> 2 sample players and 1 synth.

    My question is, is it possible to consolidate these 3 ensembles into 1 ensemble, so I don't have to look at 3 different instruments when using my sample player? I would like to have one custom made surface to control all the instruments, not 3 different ones.

    Thanks lot.
    If i select import ensemble i can only import one ensemble. When i try to import a noter it will ask me to save and then close that ensemble and import the other one..:(

    how would i go about copying the instruments into a new ensemble? If i make a new ensemble it will delta the old one.

    Sorry. Im pretty new to reactor but i know a bit about synths/signal flow etc (i have actually built my own hardware modular synth:)

    Thanks again.

    Load ensemble A
    Select all the stuff you want to copy. Copy to clipboard using whatever key combination you OS requires.
    Load ensemble B (ensemble A will close).
    Now navigate to wherever in ensemble B you want to put the copied stuff and hit the keys required for the paste operation.
    All done!
    Alternatively, when in ensemble A, use the context menu (right click) to manually save the items you want as instrument, macro, or whatever is appropriate, then load ensemble B and load those items in individually. Its a bit more laborious but works just as well.

    Thanks. Now I can copy stuff….. But..
    If i load memory drum, go "under the hood", copy it, make a new ensemble and go under the hood and paste, then it won't play any sounds. If i import sounds into it they dont show up in the little waveform window in the actual sampler window in the instrument. Midi is triggering, and the sample is loaded correctly since i can play it by clicking on the speaker icon where you arrange samples on the keyboard. It is NOT an output path problem, but the file is not loading correctly into the sampler - not showing up in the little sample map window….
    As you can see on the screenshot i have the original version on th elect and my version on the right. In one instance the sample is loaded, in the other it is not loaded…? And yes, i have loaded the exact same sample up on the same place on they keyboard for both instances.

    Thanks again and sorry for all the questions.
