MIDI CC Controls
All useful parameters in the Drum and Bass Rig have been pre-assigned MIDI controllers corresponding to the default CCs used by current
M-Audio keyboards (GM Patch).
It is also possible to customize these settings. Right-clicking (Windows) or control-clicking (Macintosh) a parameter opens a menu with the
following options:
CC: hover the mouse over this option to display a pop-up list of available MIDI continuous controllers, and select the desired continuous
controller from the list.
Learn: select this option and move a control on your hardware MIDI controller to assign it to the parameter automatically.
Forget: select this option to remove a MIDI continuous controller assignment.
Note: Each continuous controller may control only one parameter at a time.
Instrument Controls
To the right of all instruments in the Drum and Bass Rig is an instrument control area and mixer.
Load/Save: in addition to the global Load/Save menus at the top of the Rig, each instrument has its own Load/Save menu and library of
patches. Clicking the area above the Load and Save buttons produces a drop-down list of all factory content for an instrument. Patches can be
loaded for the instrument by clicking a patch in the drop-down list. The patch will be loaded and its name displayed in the slot. When clicking
Load or Save buttons, a Load/Save dialog appears. Patches are loaded and saved into folders with a name corresponding to the particular
instrument chosen.
Hi/Lo: sets the highest and lowest notes for the instrument’s key range.
Tr

MFX:

Pan:

On:

Volume: the slider on the right-hand side of the instrument controls section controls the instrument volume. A meter displays output level
when the instrument is played.
