DrumXchanger Analog Code
®
Plug-in
Load
When you click on the LOAD button the “Select Drum Sample“
dialog appears on screen. Choose an SPLX file or a WAV or AIFF
sample and load it into the DrumXchanger’s Sample module.
IMPORTANT
: The first time you use the DrumXchanger you must
specify, via the LOAD function, the folder in which you have saved
the SPL Kits. Click on LOAD and select the folder in which you have
saved SPL Kits 1 - 4. This path will be permanently stored so that
you always have a direct access to the SPL Kits.
Play
When you click on PLAY, the sample is played back once. If you
only wish to listen to the sample, activate the SOLO function in the
Sample module’s right-hand column.
The PLAY button lights on every time a sample is played back by
the Trigger module. Thus, it can be very useful for setting the trig-
ger meters, since it serves as an additional visual indicator for
when a sample is being played.
Prev and Next
These two buttons allow you to select the PREV(ious) or
NEXT sample available. The next sample is always the next sample
file available in the same folder. For example, if you load an SPL
Kit and the currently active sample is the snare sample, when you
click on PREV, the sample selected will be the bass drum, while the
NEXT one will be the first tom.
However unspectacular at first sight, this unique function can be
very practical, considering that it can be applied during a running
session. When you have a folder with lots of different samples of
the same type — snares, for example —, this function becomes
very powerful, since you can easily listen to all the samples avail-
able and apply them directly within the project. You will be able to
listen to the drum sound in context, making the selection for you
and other people involved easier.
