So far I'm loving it. As a multi-genre musician, this thing is PERFECT!

I am wondering a couple of thing though.

1. I got the UltraPak but when I place the arrow over Category/Jazz and so on I get this

UltraPak=1,919 Found=1,799

Other categories show similar messages.


2. Is there a comprehensive course somewhere that I can take since we're still in a hybrid lockdown mode here in NYC? So far I'm picking it up pretty well but I feel like I might be missing some great handy feature just because nobody's pointed them out to me.


Thank you all.


Pete

Welcome!

I’m not at a computer, but I wonder if the maximum number might include separate purchase items that are offered every so often. These are called Bonus and Xtra Paks

We will figure it out.

Hola Pete,

I also have the same UltraPak as you, however after 20+ years I have accumulated lots of the Bonus and Xtra Paks that Matt referred to. One can drive them selves crazy trying to reconcile all these thousands of styles. One think you can do... Go onto the main screen, select - "Help-What add-ons do I have" and see if that identifies any problems with your install. My guess is everything is as it should be.

NOTE: Just for full transparency, I did not update my styles with version 2021 so none of them at included. But that is another story. crazy

yes!!! success!!!

The only thing it says I'm missing now is

Styles Disks : 78 ,79 ,80 ,81
-------------
Soloist Disk Sets : 12 A.LaverneMainstrm,13 A.LavernePent

Now it's just a matter of figuring out if those are part of the UltiPak or not but hey, I am very happy with this.

Sorry for the double post.

You solved it before I could check. Your results are normal. The Andy Laverne materials were a one-time special purchase.

Actually, although I have almost everything from almost thirty years, I don’t have that, either. Let me find out if perhaps we can fix this. But for now, you have far more than enough to have a lot of fun!
