giga is not a vsti, it's standalone and most people dedicate a whole computer to it. halion is a bit too intense for just a drum kit in my opinion. both of these are designed to replace hardware samplers and to handle large, complex instruments.

if all you need is a drum sampler, my advice would be to run down to your local bookstore and pick up a copy of computer music magazine. it's a pricey britsh magazine that comes with a cd. they struck a deal with muon software to include a bunch of exclusive, free vsti in each issue of the magazine's cd. one of them is a great drum sampler, the sr-202. there are dozens of different drum kits available for it. plus, you also get a traditional sampler (ds-404) and a decent synth (cm-101). all of them are fully functional and FREE with the mag, well worth the 12 bucks. you can check out the mag at http://computermusic.co.uk/ but the software is only on the cd. you can't download it.

Ditto what coolout mentioned.

You could also check out Reaktor and Battery, both from Native Instruments. They can both run as VSTi's within ACID Pro 4.0.

kobe, i hate to be mean...but...umm...there's things called instructions that come with acid pro when you buy it. it has in detail how to assign a vsti folder and how to use them.

you did buy it, didn't you?

no need to answer, it's just questions like yours on this forum make me wonder...

Create your own custom folder and put the DLL in that and then point ACID to it via the VST Instruments tab under Options>Preferences on the menu bar. Remember to click the "Refresh" button after doing so.

As coolout mentioned, be sure to read instructions for a specific VSTi fully, as some are different from others.
