SOUNDS AND PATCHES
299
• NN19 & NNXT sampler patches contain information regarding which samples are used, their settings (key
mapping, tuning, etc.) and the parameter settings on the device panel.
It is important to note that the sampler patch doesn’t contain the actual samples - only information about which
sample files are used.
• Redrum Drum Computer and Kong Kit Patches patches contain a complete “drum kit”, that is, information
about which drum samples are used, together with the parameter settings for each drum sound.
Again, the actual samples are not included in the patch, only references to files. Also note that Redrum patches are
separated from Redrum
patterns - selecting a new patch will not affect the patterns in the device.
About the “Load Default Sound in New Devices” preference
On the “General” page in Preferences, there is an option (on by default) to load a default patch when creating a de-
vice. For some devices, there are a number of patches that exist outside category folders in the main Sound Bank
folder for the device. These will be available on the browse list (see “About browse lists”) directly after creating the
device, which allows you check out a few sounds for a device without opening the browser.
Loading patches
To select and load a patch for a device, use one of the following methods:
D Click the “Browse Patch” button in the Patch section on the device panel.
The Patch section has the same basic layout for all patch devices; a Patch Name display, two “Select Patch” but-
tons (up/down) for stepping through patches sequentially, a “Browse Patch” button to open the browser, and a
“Save Patch” button to save patches.
The Patch section of an RV7000 device.
! On the panels of the Redrum, NN19, NN-XT and Dr. Octo Rex devices (Record+Reason), there are also other
folder buttons, used for loading samples or REX files. Make sure you click on the button in the Patch section
(next to the patch name display)!
D Select “Browse Patches” from the Edit menu or device context menu.
Note that the Edit menu reflects which device is selected - in other words, you must select the device for the cor-
responding Browse Patches item to appear on the Edit menu.
• In both cases, the Patch browser dialog appears, allowing you to locate and select the patch, on the file system
or within a ReFill.
Browser operations are described in “Using the Browser” later in this chapter.
• Once you have selected a patch, you can step between all the patches in the same folder by using the “Select
Patch” buttons on the device panel:
! Note that switching patches on a device this way can also change the actual device! See “About browse lists”.
