192 EFFECTS AND PLUG-INS IN AN OVERVIEW
BeatBox - drum kit
This section loads drum kits (collections of different drum instruments) and the individual
drum instruments. You can also try out an already programmed pattern with different kits
or exchange individual drum instruments.
1. Select drum kit: Use the <> buttons to cycle through the different drum kits. A drum
kit is a collection of percussion instruments with matching sounds, e.g. rock kit or
electronic drums à la TR 808. By changing the drum kit, you can add an entirely
different sound to the rhythm you have already created.
2. Save drum kit: Use this button to save the current collection of drum instruments as
a kit.
3. Drum kit list: Click the arrow to the right of the name to open a complete list of
available drum kits.
4. Select drum kit: The arrow buttons function the same way as with the drum kit. The
sequence of drum instruments in the kit may be resorted via drag & drop.
5. Mute/solo: The "Solo" button switches a drum instrument solo, i.e. all other
instruments which are not "solo" will be muted. The "mute" button mutes a drum
instrument.
New drum or effect sounds may by added to the current drum kit via drag & drop from
Windows Explorer. Drag a wave file to a drum instrument to create a new drum sound
based on this sample. BeatBox 2 copies the sample into the sample folder to make sure
that the instrument or kit created can be used again later. Drag a complete folder featuring
wave files to the drum kit to create a kit based on those samples.
BeatBox - context menu
Right clicking a drum instrument always a context menu:
Copy/paste: Copy an instrument from a track and paste it to another one.
Empty instrument: An empty instrument is added. No sound is played, it has no name,
and is used to clean up an unused track.
Default instrument: Adds the standard instrument. This features the standard
parameter for all synthesis shapes and serves as the starting point for your own sounds.
Reset automation: Several of BeatBox 2's own presets contain automations. These are
dynamic sound parameters like filters or pitch changes. This command allows these to
be completely removed from the selected instruments.
