Prime Bass chord quality
Hello, I am trying to change chord quality on Prime Bass patterns and it doesn't do anything. Let's say I want to play G minor, so I press G and Bb (the 3rd), but there's no change in the chord quality at all. Even if I'm pressing two notes on the keyboard, only one is shown as pressed. I'm using Funky Fingers preset. How…

Fiddle in Spotlight Collection: Ireland
Is it only me who finds the Fiddle in Spotlight Collection: Ireland practically unusable? I was shocked when I saw that NI put an instrument of this bad quality into the library. It is executed astonishingly poorly, with all note transitions and ornaments coming across as super out of tune and screechy. I mean I get that…
