Prelisten in Place
Activates prelistening of the selected instrument. This allows you to listen to the
instrument in the context of a running style or pattern.
Click the triangle above the button to select a prelisten option.
If Always is selected, selecting an instrument in the results list always triggers the
instrument.
If Auto is selected, selecting an instrument in the results list does not trigger the
instrument if the Style Player or the MIDI Player are playing. This prevents the
prelisten instruments from being triggered off the beat.
NOTE
As soon as the instrument loses the focus in the results list, the Prelisten function
stops and the original pad content is played again. This allows you to quickly compare
two instruments, for example.
Loading MIDI Patterns or Styles in Your Host Application
You can drag MIDI patterns and styles from the Load panel onto a MIDI track in your host
application.

You have added a MIDI track in your host application project.
PROCEDURE

2. Select the le that you want to import into your host application.
3. If you want to drag a style into the project, use the prelisten controls below the results list to
select the part of the
le and the complexity/variation.
All performance settings, such as Auto Complexity, Auto Fill, Quantize,etc. are taken into
