[QUOTE="Herr R aus B, post: 219521, member: 62807"] Me terribly sorry, sa! :) Nevva! :D Seems to work! At least setting one fan to 100% gave me nice sounds...

Well yes - I am a worm in the dust, not worth being mentioned at all, I am nothing, a joke, etc... like that? ;) See - I am doing the whole thing here using google. Honestly I have not the slightest idea what I am typing here... :D This seems to be the post of apologies, confessions and whatever - [SIZE="5"][B]YES, I CONFESS!

[/SIZE] OK - now I am enlightened - I thought it was more modular. Is this putting everything in one box due to performance? Or did it just grow organically? I think I've read on the MP home page, that they will redesign the entire plugin interface and so on. Interesting... I would have a bunch of uestions... :-) But maybe that's something for a different thread... Same to you - hope you made it in one piece :) I read all your comments and will answer in separated posts as these here get so long that I somehow lose the overview of what is where :-) Axel [B]Great - I didn't count on the power of auto merge...
