In RWS you open it as an amp or plugin under the effects button. I have had some spotty success. One time I open RW it works, the next I get no sound.
It works nicely in Live, as you can just drag and drop your loop wavs into the timeline. Still I must confess the IDs are much easier to use. YOu will also find many of these beats will sound familiar.
***note***
I was not having any real success with RWS and this VST. I does however work beautifully in Live or any other DAW (I would imagine) that supports midi. It really shines there, where you can drop and drag the midi patterns into the sequencer and edit as you desire. Stretch, trim, speed up, slow down, add remove individual hits etc. There is also the LiveDrummer slider which in essence the humanize function. The pre-mapped midi beats are already varied accordingly, but if you choose to map beats from scratch it will make them sound dramatically better. No more machine gun snare rolls......lol
There is far more functionality on the midi side as the loops are not arranged in song based presets like the midi ones are. Which just quadruples the content you can work with, And with the ability to edit on the fly....sky is the limit. Amazing for a free program! The full program would be mind blowing off the bat
I am pretty pleased with the basic rock kit, but there are tonnes more if you decide to fork out the $250 to get the full package. I believe the free version has around 1.2 GB of content, compared to the 16GB packed into the full version.
I have spent all morning messing with it in Live,and I am just getting into what is possible....this really is a must have freebie.
