O yes I forgot there was such a thing, don't worry about it, install the
vst, and away you go!

Good luck, DJX

There seems to be a free version as well as a demo version which has more 
features apparently. It doesn't seem to be advertised very clearly but the 
full version is DXI and the free is VST. As a result, I will have to finally

reinstall my VST adapter because it seems to have broken, then I shall be 
sampling like a maniac.  Yehhhh!
