Gday guys,

I Recently bought a mandala v2.0 off ebay (yes i know "idiot") and am
wondering:

How to go about importing the custom sounds? I'm downloading the
samples from freesound.org and can't seem to be able to select the
sounds in my user sounds folder to assign it to a zone?

Some advice on ways to incorporate it into a live band setting would
be appreciated too. At the moment I am using it to trigger fx and
percussive samples, but will be hoping to use it with the rest of my
drums soon.

I am just learning the mandala, by itself through my computer with
headphones for now, but once i feel confident enough, I hope to use it
in a jam situation.I have a brand new macbook pro with the vb upgrade
as well.This is the first electronic pad i have owned so it's just
baby steps at this point.

I know these are pretty broad questions guys, but If anyone can give
me some advice on any of these subjects or point me in the right
direction with some handy tips that would be really appreciated!

cheers dave.

you should definitely go to the support page at the mandala website
and download and install the newest version if you don't have it (the
one that shows everything in one main window instead of 5 different
ones, v1.51 i think it is) and also download the new updated manual.
the manual has step by step instructions for adding custom sounds and
it worked easily for me.
