The Overview page shows which patterns and styles are assigned to the pattern pads of the loaded kits. The columns correspond to the kits in the kit rack.

For each kit slot, the 16 pattern pads of the selected pattern group are displayed. Cells in which a name is displayed have a pattern or style assigned. If a pattern is assigned to a pad, its background is gray. If a style is assigned, its background is dark blue.

To activate/deactivate playback for a pad, click its Pad Active button.

This allows you to mute individual pads in Global mode.
To load a pattern or style, click the small triangle on the right in a cell and select a file in the Load dialog.
