So I purchased over the holiday sale some multisample libraries.. The Concert Grand, Organs, and Electric Keys. So last time I installed a third party expansion that had Progressions, my Live started acting funny. Any one here who have installed any of the expansions here experience any problems? Hesitant on installing these progression folders. Hope y'all had a dope holiday!

The only pack with progressions is the Concert Grand, I've just double checked in firmware 2.3 and they are working fine for me, no problems at all. I believe there was a bug in the 2.2.x firmware updates that caused issues with added progressions for some people, I've not seen any recent reports regarding 2.3.

If you are worried, stick them on a removable drive to test - if you do have issues you can just remove that drive and delete the progressions folder
via your computer. But as I say, no problem here.

Also remember that the progressions are an optional install, the expansion itself (i.e. samples and instruments) is installed separately, so if you are really concerned, just skip the progressions.

This reminds me I missed the BF sale, hope there is a Cyber Monday sale as well.

Thanks for letting me know you tested it. I did install them last night starting with the Grand, minus the progression folder. Didn’t realize until after that one that the others didn’t have progression folders. Thank you.
