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.
PREREQUISITE
You have added a MIDI track in your host application project.
PROCEDURE
1. In the Load section, open the MIDI page or the Styles page.
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
account, that is, they will be part of the resulting MIDI pattern.
4. Drag the le onto a MIDI track in you DAW.
RESULT
A MIDI part containing the pattern is added to your project.
The MIDI patterns that you drag out of Groove Agent are MIDI les, that is, you can drop them in
any host application that supports drag and drop of MIDI les.
Loading Kits into Slots
To load a kit into the selected agent slot, you have the following possibilities:
●
Select the slot into which you want to load the kit, and double-click the kit in the results list.
●
Drag a kit from the results list to a kit in the kit rack or onto the slot in the kit slot section.
If a kit is already loaded, it is replaced with the new kit.
●
Right-click the kit in the results list and select Load Kit from the context menu.
