Is it just me or has anyone else found that on loading any of the CM145 Guitar patches the sound is exactly the same?!! I've been waiting for someone to post the same question but no - one has so I am puzzled! I've used CM Play plenty of times and not had this problem before

Oh and by the way CM can we please, please have some more world & classical music samples & loops - particularly middle eastern/ north african strings & wind instruments - make a change from yet another set of drum sounds

I've still got ambitions to write the first ever Rai Morris dance tune. Could be some people's worst nightmare but I dream on!

Cheers

This *could* happen if the sample developers didn't give each sample a unique name. They know they are not supposed to, but sometimes mistakes like this do slip past QA.

The reason for this is because CMplay views all your various paths and their subfolders on the Options screen as a *flat* file database. If the samples are in folders but all have the same name, CMplay doesn't see the folder names, instead it just sees a list of samples with the same name and picks the first one it finds.
