What's the easiest way to add Groove Monkee, Smartloops midis, etc. to Steven Slate 4?

Trying to figure out how to get the above midis mentioned into the SSD4 Platinum Groove Library? Thanks

    Would like that answer as well. My only thought is (though I haven't tried it yet) is use the mapping converter to set up as SD2 and then insert EZPlayer and use that. My best guess FWIW.

    Groove Monkee now supports SSD4. If you go to your Groove Monkee account you should be able to download files mapped to SSD4. Copy the folder into the SSD grooves folder and they will appear with the factory grooves.

    I wish i could remember exactly :) but i believe you can just copy your new grooves to SSD4 library/grooves

    and add an .lib extension to your folder.
       I hope I have not steered you wrong !

    This was discussed on the slate forum.  Go to this page:  http://www.stevenslatedru...ic.php?f=12&t=4206 .  The second post says:

    "You can import your midi files within your SSD4 player like this:
    1. Go inside your Grooves folder
    2. Create a new folder with the extension .lib
    3. Within that .lib folder create a new folder with the extension .sng
    4. within that .sng folder create a new folder with the extension .prt
    5. Within that .prt folder place the midi files that you want


    When you'll open the groove section in your SSD sampler, you'll see your new created folders and your midi file that you have put in your last folder ( xxxxxx.prt )."


    I would also remind you that SSD4 has the ability to read the drum maps from most libraries.  Here is a video on how to load a drum map (use mapping button): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6S3-pixeW3E

    Hope this helps a bit.
