Thanks Jim, but while the downloads manager provides for the downloading of Hi-Q instruments, the install process has to be done manually if you don't want your main drive to be the default. (see screenshot)

That's not even so much of an issue for me as much as I want to know whether I need to
For example, the install manager currently covers 2022 through 2025. The download size for each year is 521 MB, other than 2025 which is 271 MB. You would think that if they all built on each other, then each year would be progressively larger as more content was added that needed the tracks. Or, they should all be the exact same size if they are simply more advanced and sophisticated versions of GM sounds we have in Coyote.

Practically speaking, if I wanted all the tracks to work with the Hi-Q instruments patches they were meant to use, would I have to download and install for each year (going back even further than 2022, because I believe that Hi-Q instruments go back further than the years covered by the download manager utility), or would downloading and installing those that came with the 2025 installation be sufficient?

Thanks again!
