I can't say Ron as I run 7PE also as well as 8 PE.. and after installing 8PE the content for other custom sample packs I have made, were still there.

notice I did say "maybe" , someone running 8 SE /PE ONLY would have the definitive answer.. or one of the bakers.

I was only giving pointers to what / where the files should be. As much as I like helping people, I'm not gonna un install a load of things to test an idea.

my point is GPO is by Garritan and is licensed by cake, that's all really.

When marimba rhythms start to play
Is it in studio 8, I can't say?
There's only one real way to know for sure
Look for folder, folder twenty four

Like a flower bending in the breeze
I'm on my knees, tell me please
Did it come with Dimension Le?
Say to me, set me free

Other orchestras may be part of Sonar
Dear, but my ears will hear only you
Only you have that harmonic mystique
When I conduct, I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
But Is it Pocket Garritans?
Which version did it come in?
It's so smooth, sway me now

Blow me, String me
Thrill me, Bang me
Bend me, Tease me
You can play my symphony

Other orchestras may be part of Sonar
Dear, but my ears will hear only you
Only you have that harmonic mystique
When I conduct, I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
But Is it Pocket Garritans?
Which version did it come in?
It's so smooth, sway me now

I have a copy of Le on another machine which came with 7PE and that has Garritan in it.

Thanks for all your replies.

This is how far I've got so far.

If click on the small page icon directly to the left of the of the bar which has the default message 'Empty Program', then click 'Load Program', then click 'Dimension LE', then click 'Multisamples', there is a folder called 'Garritan Pocket Orchestra'.

There are several other folders in there and they are all numbered, for example, no.99 is the Vintage Sound Library. This one opens, and loads no problem.

However, the GPO hasn't got a number and when I click on it it opens several other folders, brass, harps, solo strings etc. If I click on any of these folders I get more specific folders. For example, the brass folder open, French Horn Solo Samples and several others. Once I get this far and open these specific folders, they are empty! There's no samples, nothing.

The 'Files of Type' bar at the bottom shows 'Programs [*.prog]'. If I change the Files of Type to 'All files [*.*]. I then get lots of wav files. In the French Horn Solo Section folder the wav are named like this, 'fha#2'. If you click on these they don't load into Dimension LE.

Apologies for being so pedantic with this message, but I thought it might help if I spell it out step by step.

Many thanks if you can help.

well it's included then. I mean the samples are there.. the programs are elsewhere.. it depends if your running vista or xp to as to where.

in the DP LE you bring up the browser where the patches are.. and it's not listed at all there at all? and other categories are / load up? try pressing f5 and it should refresh the patch list..

it's odd that the programs aren't showing for it.

Thanks Fog.

I'm on XP. And I'm clicking on F5 on everything and nothing is changing!

The browser you mention, does that come up when you click the 'Empty Program' bar? If so, the Vintage Sound Library isn't there either, but I find it as above.

Yes the wav samples are there.

Yes click on empty program

and the browser appears as a box

yep that empty bar comes up initially .. I mean it doesn't load up a default patch and you'll get another windows up.. in that should be the list.. if it's totally empty, it would point to 1 of 2 things.. either the programs for aren't there or it's not finding them.

have a look at

C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Dxi\Dimension LE

see if there is a "program" folder off that

with that folder you should have numbered folders inc. the GPO one.. hopefully.. there is a file called programs.lst... rename that to zprograms.lst or something.. start sonar, insert DP LE.. go into the browser again.. try f5...

if you have a look in that program folder I just mentioned you should see a new programs.lst file also.

other than that, try running the disk again BUT when it asks you the install there is a drop down box. type change it from full.. to custom or soft syths and see if DP LE is mentioned on that list , on my version DP LE didn't show, maybe because the pack includes the full DP.

other than that I'd contact support I mean thats part of the cost of what we are paying for.

Nope - Sonar 8 Studio Edition has Dim LE with Garritan Pocket Orch.

Hi-

What are your Contents and Multisamples folder values in the Windows Registry set to? The key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\Dimension LE
