Instrument Pad Context Menu

The context menu contains functions and settings for the instrument pads.

Load Instrument (Beat Agent SE only)

Allows you to load an instrument that you saved for a pad.

Save Instrument (Beat Agent SE only)

Allows you to save the current pad with its samples and settings as instrument. The created instruments are available on the Instruments tab on the Load panel.

Rename Pad

Allows you to rename the pad.

Set Color

Allows you to select one of the 16 available colors for the pad.

Assign Output (Beat Agent SE only)

Allows you to specify an output for all samples of the pad. The following outputs are available:

  • The Kit Mix.

  • One of the 16 Agent mixer channels.

  • One of the 16 stereo output busses of the plug-in.

    If you use in a Steinberg DAW, selecting a plug-in output from the menu automatically activates this output in the host application. The first stereo out is the Master output. This output is always active.

    Note

    Samples that are routed to an output that is deactivated in your host application are automatically sent to the Master output of the plug-in.

  • One of the AUX channels. This allows you to create sub groups, for example.
