Hello
Does anyone have a similar setup ? Im guessing a few of you use Pro Tools with your mpcs and its working for me so far. But I can't work out how to get Sampletank (a 'soundbank'of instruments) to integrate with Pro Tools. I've tried pretty much everything...

The Sampletank 2.5 program by itself works fine - I can plug in a keyboard and access the sounds. Also PRO Tools seems to work ok as I can record my mpc drums no problem.

But I can't seem to create a Pro Tools 'track' - define it as an instrument track and see the sampletank in the list of available plug ins. Im running the full version of each and they're both licensed so not sure whats happening here.
I've done some research and it looks like the .dpm files are files for Pro Tools - but even after re-installing Sampletank I can't see any *.dpm file related to Sampletank...

Any help would be welcome.
Zip.

Yep - thanks for your help Eemo1. I was trying that and it didn't work - however then re-installed Sampletank with the correct options and now it works perfect
