Previewing Pattern Banks

Pattern banks containing drum patterns can be created with the MIDI plug-in Beat Designer.

  1. Transport Controls

    Allow you to start and stop the preview.

  2. Preview Level Fader

    Allows you to specify the preview level.

  3. Keyboard

    The keyboard allows you to preview the selected pattern bank. In the Previewer section, choose a subbank (the number at the top) and pattern (a key), and click Play.

    One pattern bank contains 4 subbanks which in turn contain 12 patterns each.

    Subbanks can contain empty patterns. Selecting an empty pattern in the Previewer section has no effect. Patterns containing data are indicated by a circle in the upper part of the key in the display.

  4. Auto Play New Results Selection

    If this option is activated, the selected file is automatically played back.

Note
