Expanded and Z8ta 2.1 .
I really like that I am able to drag and drop in and out of the browser . Making loops and dragging them into a folder in my sample drive as 1,2,3 is a definite time saver... That alone for me was worth it...
The update to Z8ta 2.1 is breath of fresh air.. Dragging the midi patterns from z8ta's arp to the track view ,now opens z8ta up to whole new tool for me.And big thumbs up to all the patches working correct.
The one thing I wont use out of the whole expanded package thing is the FX bin , although very nice and cool looking , I was tinkering around and I got lost into that whole UI thing and an hr later realized it dose nothing different than going to plugins them selfs and in fact after setting up those knobs button ect, U have no control over them you still have to use ACT with the plugin itself.. I won't dismiss it just yet I'll wait to see what some of you guys are doing with it..
All in all I like the expanded packaged, Installation was breeze.Serial number showed up pretty quick. All went well.
NOW____-> When we CW give us some more details to what modules are on the horizon/ 3rd party companies that have join in.
