My force goes into arranger mode every once in a while when I press clip. In arranger mode I have to pres the grid button on the touchscreen, then clip and yes it goes in clip mode again....... very strange!

Is it still not possible to load a sample directly into a keygroup program? There is an actual physical LOAD button on the device, but loading a WAV file will only load the sample to the pool, and then you have to select the sample from the drill-down menu in the keygroup. There are two different buttons in the browser: LOAD TO POOL and LOAD. You might think that LOAD would load and assign the file to the keygroup I was editing when I pressed the physical LOAD button, but it seems to do exactly the same thing as LOAD TO POOL. Do they make using keygroups annoying and crippled on purpose as a design decision, or is there a modifier button combination I just don't know about?

Anyway, loading some single-cycle waves on layers and using the new modulation and filtering facilities seems fairly nice and feels a bit like building synth sounds.

On 3.3 the Clip button went to the last menu you selected, Arranger, List Editor...whatever. Can you test & see if that's the case?

Yes, I thought it was a bug too. This function as an option would be way better!!!!

Checking the box worked for me.

I bought the bundle of plugins but I used the wrong email address which isn’t my inmusic account. I emailed costumer support anyone know if they just transfer the license to the correct account? I can’t get it activated on my force now or maybe someone knows a workaround?

I did same thing once (auto completed a different account) - I emailed support and the moved it over.

I wish they'\d let users manage this more directly - and that I could delete old hardware units from the account - got a few MPCs listed I don't have any more. Guess I'll have to email them.
