---

Usage of this patch:
1. Quickly change drums on the fly for a live performance
2. Use multiple patches on individual tracks to get individual drum outs
3. Load only one sample into memory, no need to load thousands
4. CPU friendly, ideal for laptop performance on stage

Instructions:

Load Samples
1. Click Browse and select a folder on your HD. On a Mac, you can put aliases in that folder, too. All samples in that folder are loaded. If more than 63 samples are loaded, they are put on sample bank 2,3,etc..
2. Click browse again to store the sample path
3. Use Sample Select and Sample Bank to choose samples
(Kudos to phatline.at for the "Load Samples" part)

Midi
Instructions for individual drum outs
1. Program your Live Drum Pattern in a clip on a Live Midi track
2. Put multiple instances of the patch to individual tracks
3. Route the midi to your individual tracks (select your midi track in "MIDI in" of all individual tracks and set Midi Monitor in the tracks to "In" instead of "Auto")
4. Select Midi note in each instance of patch on individual tracks
5. Enjoy individual drum outs
First figure: Choose midi note (Example, 60 = C4)
Second and third figure: Incoming note & velocity overview

Sample Overview
Sample & Waveform and Sample Name and Stereo status is set automatically when you "Sample Select"
Use the tools, start and end points to change the sample temporarily. Those changes are not saved.
Use the stereo toggle (right to "Stereo") to mono-ize all samples, which is good for Bass Drums for example, as many Drums do not need to be Stereo.

General Controls
These controls are effective for all samples in all banks and are stored
--- Use the toggle buttons to randomize the values ---
When randomize is on, the dials can still be used and serve as values for the randomization.
Use speed to play forward, double speed, reverse
Use length to set sample length for all samples in all banks
Use pan to (well...) pan.
Use sample to turn random sample selection on, dial sets amount of sample randomization. Only samples in the present sample bank are used.
Use filter to apply a low pass filter.

Go create some music!
