Preview and File Info Sections

File Info Section

This section shows information on the focused sample or MIDI file.

• For samples, length, channels, bit depth, and sample rate are shown. If available, root key, key, and velocity range are also shown.

• For MIDI files, original tempo, signature, and length are shown, as they are saved in the file.

Prelisten Section

You can listen to the focused sample or MIDI file using the controls in the Prelisten section.

Level

Adjusts the playback level.

Play

Plays back the focused file.

Stop

Stops playback. The play locator jumps back to the start of the file.

Pause

Pauses playback. Click again to resume playback.

Prelisten in Place

Activates prelistening of the selected sample.

Click the triangle above the button to select a prelisten option.

• If Always is selected, selecting an audio file in the results list always triggers the sample, regardless of whether a sequence from the host or the internal pattern player is playing.

• If Auto is selected, selecting an audio file in the results list does not trigger the sample if a sequence from the host or the internal Style Player or MIDI Player are playing. This prevents the prelisten samples from being triggered off the beat. However, the prelisten sample for the pad is replaced and when the pad is played, the new sample is used.

Note

As soon as the sample loses the focus in the results list, the Prelisten function stops and the original pad content is played again. This allows you to quickly compare two samples, for example.

Loop Playback

If this button is activated, the focused file is played back repeatedly.
