Pattern Banks Previewer

The Previewer for pattern banks allows you to listen to pattern banks before you use them in your project.

  1. Transport controls

    Start and stop the preview.

  2. Preview Level fader

    Specifies 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

    Automatically plays back the selected file.

  5. Link Playback to Chord Track

    Transposes the events of the pattern bank to play back in context with the chord track. Note that you need a chord track with chord events for this.

Note

You can create drum patterns with the MIDI plug-in Beat Designer. You can find detailed information on the Beat Designer and its functions in the separate document “Plug-in Reference” in the “MIDI Effects” chapter.
