You can select vst's from the small new sounds button,its one of three in upper left of the sounds window

Great tip Kaylen! I would never have found that one. Thanks!

You don't happen to know how to get new midi-patterns in the pattern-browser, do you? Seems there are no .PTN pattterns avaialable anywhere and now way to make them, except with K2 (and P5).

Your comeback to mine is predictable.

I rest my case.

I suggest you seek help, really.

As for the ram thing. Until I got k2 and all the loops installed,,, this used pc I had bought a short time ago was fine with 256 ram and 1.60 gig p4 processor. And I tried the other day to buy more ram, but failed that day for Staples and the other place we have here in wtvl maine no longer carries pc133 ram. And I just haven't got around to it to purchase it online. I just like the instant open to quickly hear a loop sample is all. Even with much ram and no samples loaded, k2 takes longer than instant to open, and taxes my cpu much more. So while I am online and have a few windows open etc... I choose to use audacity, for it being so small a program, and it does what I need it for at that time. Geesh man, is that okay with you? Why must you start a pissing contest or try and make me look bad? People like you should just shut the heck up if you have nothing but negative to say! This is the last of me defending myself from you. I have better things to do.

Sorry, I really wasn't intending to be offensive. I'ts fine with me, I just thought you said you used Audacity instead of Dropzone. I now see you meant that you used it instead of Kinetic, to browse your samples and stuff.
Your way of expressing is very longwinded and not very clear. I never read read only part of posts, only in your case, too much irrelevant information.

So you said that you use Audacity instead of Kinetic to browse loops because on your PC K2 is too slow in loading up.

I think the question by the OP was how to open Dropzone; as I understood that he wanted to open the DXi to meddle with it; in other DAW's you can explicitly select a synth and play with it, not in K2, you first have to pick a sound that is using that synth, than you have acces to it.

So what did you have for dinner?

Well, this is this dude in my neighborhood who is very much like you in a way. and I didn't like him at all. So I chopped him up and ate him for dinner. haha. Just joking. I am sure he would have tasted very bitter anyways.

Haha " /> I'm beginning to like you. Do you know a lot of ppl like me?

Now lets just drop it dude!

People don't come here to read this crap. This is not a place for this sort of Gab. And it shouldn't be invaded with pissing contests or arguments.
Next time I won't bother, to offer up anything. As I may get more back from it than I thought.
I may not come here at all actually.

well if you did read more than the 1st 2 lines of my post before blindly replying. "Who does that but a Cocky fool" You would have seen that I was simply sharing what I have done to date with samples. And not implying audacity is better or even comparing it. So no need to be so defensive. I wasn't attacking the drop zone or you. As I haven't used the drop zone yet but intend on trying it out soon, and glad you informed me of this drop zone feature. And sharing the fact that audacity is free to those who need a free program to do slicing with. Not just for you but other users here. And as for you,,, Now that I know you can't even read my post before trying to debate my post and being a bit insulting, I have no intent on posting anything for your behave. As your type wouldn't appreciate someone elses ideas anyways. You know more than anyone else right?

No need to get insulting. What's a Cocky fool?
And btw. I use Audacity too, for a long time now.

And I didn't quest for another when I haven't tried dropzone yet.
I been using audacity long before I even had kintetic. And I am quite excited to try dropzone, now that I know it is more than a way to import samples.
I was simply sharing my present experiences at this time. For people that want to read a whole paragraph and may be interested in someone else's life, besides their own. Which is many, but surely not you. As I now know. Maybe you should take a little time to read someones whole post, before replying. especially in a negative manner.

I just happen to like audacity for checking out new loops I find online. For it opens instantly. And being that I have loaded over 30,000 drum samples alone into the k2 patterns folder so they will be at my quick disposal in k2, because of this "which I am still glad I did", but k2 now takes about a minute and a half just to open up, with my mere 256 ram installed. even with more ram, it would still now take more than 30 seconds to open with so many loaded samples.

Did you try more ram or is that a guess? It seems a bit long. Can't try it here for lack of that many samples, impressive.

I did ramble on about zero-x seemless looper and my path in music a bit. But those are are not interested in other peoples music paths or ventures,"like you", don't have to read it. However, many people enjoy reading about other peoples music ventures, in their spare time. As do I. I am a member of a few music forums, and read all new posts almost daily, while I have my dinner at my pc. And thus, I learn something more. Sometimes, small things, and sometimes it is something that helps me much. But the forums are not restricted to very useful and/or important facts only. And they are not for the purpose of competition. They are for sharing and conversing for all those who are interested. I even enjoy the stupid posts. I don't comment, but sometimes get a good chuckle about the post. I do defend my own posts if needed though. Unlike the 2 forums based on my synth, this one is mostly for help only. And sharing demos. Thats about all I see here. So maybe I am sharing with people who are not into it. And only using this forum for help needed,help offered with others problems"certain people give too", and plugging their demos. And I am sure that is largely based on what the forum is thus far. No one is going to spend time sharing much here when others don't or don't appear interested. But as some people do, then others may. And it can grow this way into something more. But as a forum? Thus far, this forum is slow, quite slow to get a response or help "compared to other forums I attend", and lagging in a few ways compared to many others. It would be nice to see this forum grow into a forum that many visit and many share and help others. As with k2 is very useful and will surely expand in the sector more than k1 did. So will the amount of users, and sharing here.

So, what did you have for dinner? " />

Sorry, no time to read all of that. Ehrm, you can't pluging Audacity to play midi-keyed loops. It is an editor. I said Dropzone is a great sampleplayer. Of course there are other ones and probably better ones too, but I find it strange that you quest for another one when you haven't even tried Dropzone, which is included in the K2 pacakage.

Oh is that right?
I been using a free program called audacityfor this until I bought a program called zero-x seemless looper 2 weeks ago. Which I bought to help me with finding a seemless loop point in samples.

I been using a free program called audacityfor this until I bought a program called zero-x seemless looper 2 weeks ago. Which I bought to help me with finding a seemless loop point in samples. Which I then load into my Alesis fusion synth. without a sample being looped, when the note is held on the keyboard, it will end when the sample comes to an end. But when looped, it will continue as long as the note is held or the sustain pedal is down. As the sampler built into the fusion doesn't have auto search for a good loop point. And finding it manually in the fusion is tough. Great thing about zero-x is when I go to open,search for a wave file and the browser/open window pops up,,, it will play the wave before I open it just by pointing to it. Making it very useful for finding the right wave I need to find. Instantly playing each one when I point to it. As I point to another, that one stops and the new pointed to wave plays. Instantly. Very quick and nice. Anyone wanting that program? I Just found a free steinway sound font, and a 73 phodes one too, which are very sweet sound fonts. My fusion is going to be very useful for Kinetic2. Going to start making my own sample waves for K2 soon. Audacity and zero-x allows for chopping samples up. Audacity is pretty good for piecing loops together. Chopping and piecing in from other wave files. Thus creating some more wave loops from other loops. Anyone wanting to do this for free? This is the link. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ It is free. Also there you will find a download for a ton of free plug-ins that work in this program. Some really good ones for enhancing the sound. Audacity opens almost instantly and allows you to preveiw the effect of the plug-in parameter effects on the sample before hitting ok. You can undo anyways. But this makes it easy to find the right setting of the effect. Not sure how many effects are in mine. As I got a big free package off the site. In single row, they go from top to bottom of my screen and much more. You have to scroll though to see them all. I am guessing maybe 90 or so. But many are not very useful. Still many are. And it will play samples in a loop. Very nice program for free. Causes no issues either. BTW if you open a new wave, it will open another audacity window. So importing is better. You can assign your own keyboard shortcuts and all too.

All you have to do to have your own samples show up right in Kinetic2 is go to C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Kinetic 2\Patterns and once there, paste or drag and drop your samples in that patterns folder. Not directly but inside a folder. Like the ones in there already. Then every time you open Kinetic2 you can choose them from the list just like the ones that came with k2. Nice huh?

I don't use drop zone. Never did. Must be a pain to do that every time.

Yes, neat trick. I just memorize a sample (Glass Vase) of which I'm certain it is Dropzone.
Dropzone is a great sampleplayer btw. You should try it one day.

This is a really dumb question, but how the hell do you open DropZone!!

Try out differnt sounds in the browser and look at the soundtab each time untill you hit a sound that uses the Dropzone. Then (right)click on it and you get the synth.
You cannot explicitly select synths in K2 afaik.
