Visual SPL Kit
The image below the kit selector buttons symbolizes a drum kit.
The following descriptions apply only if a multi-sample from an
SPL Kit is loaded. If you load other samples, the image turns gray
and has no function.
The large circle on the bottom left symbolizes the snare; the four
size-increasing circles above it symbolizes the toms; and the large
colored area underneath these circles symbolizes the bass drum.
Click on any of these symbols and the corresponding sample is
loaded. For example, if you wish to load a snare sample from one of
the SPL Kits, click on the snare symbol. To compare all the snares
from the different SPL Kits, click on the snare symbol and then click
on the four kit selector buttons above it. The same applies to all
SPL drum kit elements.
Every time you change a kit, via the kit selector buttons, the color
of the image changes: Kit 1 is red, Kit 2 is blue, Kit 3 is green, and
Kit 4 is yellow. It is nice and colorful, but it is also very useful: the
association of different concepts is one of the best learning meth-
ods. After working with the various SPL Kits for some time, it will
be easier for you to associate the sounds of the different kits to a
color.
File Name Button
Directly underneath the Visual SPL Kit is a button where you can
read the file name of the selected sample. That way you always
have a reference of the active selection. When it reads “SPL K3
Snare.splx“ you will know that it is the snare from SPL Kit 3 that
is being used; if it reads “MajorTom.wav“ then it is a WAV file from
another source that is active. Clicking on this button has the exact
same function as clicking on the LOAD button described below — it
opens the “Select Drum Sample“ dialog.
