Can you post a screenshot of your MIDI browser?

There are around 1800 MIDI files in the S3 MIDI library. But it’s only MIDI and is about 5MB in size. What you spent 6 hours downloading was the sound library which is a massive 240GB of you installed the whole library.

Every time I try to attach a photo or screen shot it says it’s too large so we gotta do this with out words. In short: I select genre funk and only 4 styles are in bold the rest are grey and not accessible. The ones I can choose are pop/rock/country funk metal train beat and twist.

Another issue I’m having is after I’ve chosen one of the grooves, ill try to drag it onto an ableton track and the midi data transfers over but the sound doesn’t. So confused and having a train wreck of an experience so far. Is there a manual? How to video I should watch?

Hi,

the manual can be accessed via the Help Menu, it links to the updated online manual:

There are a lot of videos over at the Toontrack YouTube channel:

I hope this helps,
John

Went through the videos and the manual. Neither seem to help at getting ableton to recognize sd3. Which honestly I don’t care about. All I really want to do is make the beats to completion in sd3 and transfer the audio in ableton. I thought I could do this, simply treat sd3 as a drum recording. I can’t do either right now. The beats are stuck in sd3. I found the vst file location but I does nothing if its in the wrong place I guess

Is your Ableton 32-bit or 64-bit? S3 is 64-bit only.

What do you mean by “The beats are stuck in sd3”? Can you elaborate? Have you dragged grooves to the Song Track and rendered them as audio? See this section of the S3 manual:
