    Hi @Squishy , funnily enough I think I just had that happen…

    I downloaded Poseidon’s Pull which is a shared Kontakt / DS sample.
    I unzipped it which created a parent folder with a Kontact folder and a Decent Sampler folder in it.
    In the DS folder there was Poseidon’s Pull.dspreset, a Resources folder and a Samples folder.
    I tried to load the Poseidon’s Pull.dspreset and it produced the following error…

    ‘ Due to Apple's sandbox limitations, this version of Decent Sampler can't load dspreset files which are located outside of its internal preset directory. Please use either a dslibrary or a dsbundle file instead. You can convert a dspreset to a dslibrary by zipping up the folder containing the dspreset and the samples. Once you've done this, change the extension on the zip file to dslibrary.’

    So I selected Poseidon’s Pull.dspreset, the Resources folder and the Samples folder and compressed them to a .zip file.

    Decent Sampler then loaded the sample from this .zip file without a problem.
    I think the days of having to rename it a dslibrary are gone, it works fine from the zip file

    Hope this helps !

    Soooo today I learned what processor layers in Drambo are! Haha, took some tutorial vids but I got it working, cool patch! Not really what I’m looking for fuzz wise. Prolly just gonna get a real life pedal

    @GeoTony
    Yup, that sounds about like what I was dealing with! Good to know it’s smoother now, maybe I’ll dip my toes back in eventually. Another issue is that, like Soundbox, the preset collection can wind up taking over your hard drive, some can be quite large. Soundfonts 2.0 haha

    I got to 30GB iof Decent Sampler instruments before I started to feel guilty and actually bought few from it's online store.

    Some of the Piano book.co.uk downloads have bad XML files and don't install... We should flag those. Unzipping and editing the XML. Metadata file can be the only fix because those botched files might work on a PC or Mac and we are acting percent of the Decent Sampler community. I'm just glad we have this great free tool. PC and Mac allow absolute file names and IOS needs a subdirectory approach.

    Some of the free stuff is so good... Start with the free instruments loaded right in the internal store. Free Chimera is really good for soundtrack stuff... On a par with some Roli Noise instruments for complex pseudo orchestra tracks. Better for me than Xinematic presets which tend to be thin by comparison.

    I wish we had a thread on the great Decent Sampler instruments with little demos. Most Piano book instruments have demo links so you can decide if that's your sound preference.

    Nice good to learn something new and sometimes the heart just wants the hardware version I’ve learned and that’s okay 🤘🏽

    Hell ya! 🤘

    @McD
    Thanks for all the info! Ya, I could handle changing the file name extensions, but like you said that didn’t always work and editing metadata files is over my head, tho I’m sure it isn’t hard. Maybe I’ll give it a go on a rainy day in the future, cause I agree, there’s a lotta great sounds to be had with that app! It’s kinda like finding good NAM profiles for amps these days, you gotta put in the time and wade through the bad stuff to find that one gem that’s gamechanging. I don’t mind it, takes me back to digging through bootleg Dead shows 🤙

    The other thing possible is to take the samples out of the PianoBook instruments because they are NOT
    DRM protected. The instruments in the Decent Sampler store are DRM protected.

    It’s often fun to pull the samples into AudioLayer because it saves you having to create the XML file.
    Sometimes you can get a solid instrument in AudioLayer with just 6-10 samples per layer.

    Regarding editing XML files… I like to take an existing instrument with a solid User Interface description and
    a nice row of FX (Decent Sampler has 5-6 built-in FX). They I swap out the sample assignments to notes with my
    samples. Like AudioLayer you can spread samples across any range of notes (3-4 per octave).

    The Decent Sampler XML files is documented here:

    Here’s the *,DSLibrary Boilerplate file so you can see the sections for samples, FX, UI:
