You have to set the 'Note' setting under the Tones tab in the Virtual Brain to the same note that your sound is originally sampled at. Otherwise your sample is key following but for the wrong key. Virtual Brain drum and percussion sounds don't follow key but user added sounds and tonal instruments i...

Are these WIndows 7 64-bit machines? Or 32-bit?

Also, are there any messages in the VB3 under WIndow>Max Window when you choose adRewire as your Driver?

Are you guys PC or Mac? What OS? Maybe this could get figured out if it is known what things are in common about your computers. Rewire works for me and I'm using a Mac running OSX 10.6.7.

Yes that would be very cool. I heard they are working on it!

I've used a Pelican case that allows you to pop out foam squares inside of it to create rectangles that my pads slip right into. It's about as protected as you can get.

Maybe you pulled the program out of its folder and put it on your desktop or something? It needs to be in its or...

That happens in the software you are controlling. In the VB3 you can hit the link buttons between zone dashboards to do it. In Battery you can make C3 and C#3 trigger the same cell for example to combine Mandala Center and Mid-In into one zone. In BFD you can just assign C3 and C#3 to the same sampl...
