Loading gig instrument ('/media/andrew/Seagate Expansion
Drive/WS_MS_BbClarinet_GS3/Clarinet (Bb)_Long
Notes_Legato_Glissando.gig',1)...gig::Engine error: Failed to load
instrument, cause: Unknown leverage controller type (0x2).
Is what I get back. :\
This was actually a fresh download from Big Fish Audio, the site I bought
