The current installation package for Scaler 2.4 is around 800MB. I suspect that most of that is used up by the built-in instruments. Since I don’t really need them, I wish there was a download version that is more slim and focused on just the software, hoping it downloads faster and uses up less space (since I already have other sounds I connect Scaler to via MIDI). So offer two packages, one with the built-in sounds for those who use them, and a lighter download without the sounds. If it is not too much trouble to maintain. ---

You can try to delete all sounds, or Z keep a piano voice ---

I think to remember that during installation you can select to not install the bigger part of instruments ---

Yes, it is real. My supposedly 100Mbit/sec fibre optic line is down so often, that I have to dial up the phone company for support, to come out and fix it - hence “dial up internet” LOL ---

Here is the situation on installing ![Cattura](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex012/uploads/scalermusic/original/2X/d/dcdf8b0aa87035193737df33caa2f2fae1d1a11f.jpeg) Removing Extra sounds (and possibly AAX), cuts the load by half BTW, even Essential sounds are not so essential for many, me included 😉 ---

Hi, new to Scaler (couple of months) but I don’t use the built in sounds at all. So I would also like to have the option of downloading the program without the extra sounds. Perhaps just have the Felt Piano so that some sound can be made on a vanilla install. Thanks. ---
