Hi Grant, You'll have a better time of it if you purchase the HSC set from Phil Muir. You get good accessibility to the main parts of the plug. Outside of that, you'll need sighted assistance if you want to get into editing instrument parameters. The good news is that your edits can be saved as a preset just like you do with other plugs in Sonar. I worked with a friend over the phone who has Superior Drummer. He made the adjustments for me so I could go in and change the decay length on the drums. What he did was save presets for me, sent them through an e-mail attachment, then I imported them in and made the modifications. It's an around-the-horn approach, but it worked reasonably well in this case. Hope this helps.

I have not tried this yet, but went and read about it. How accessible is it out of the box? What outboard gear is needed to make it work the easiest? Thanks, Grant
