To load samples into a Drum Program, click and drag a sample onto the desired pad (in the pad display
or its row in the grid) from one of the following locations:
•
the
File Browser
•
the
Project Information
panel
•
your computer's
Explorer
(Windows) or
Finder
(Mac OS X)
The sample will be assigned to the corresponding pad.
Tip:
By following the same process described earlier, you can also load an entire folder of samples into a
Program by dragging the folder onto a pad. Each sample will be assigned to a pad in alphabetical order,
starting from the "destination" pad and ascending from there, one sample per pad.
In the software, click the
Program Edit
tab. With the
Sample
drop-down menus of Layer 2 to Layer 4,
you can assign additional samples to the selected pad. You can assign up to four samples per pad (one
for each Layer).
Remember:
A Drum Program holds 128 pads: 16 pads across eight banks.
