The Autoload button.
When Autoload is enabled, any item that you select in the Result list of the Library pane or
Files pane is automatically loaded into the focused Group or Sound slot or into the selected
Plug-in slot, replacing any content currently in that location. This allows you to listen to this
item in context with the rest of your Project while it is playing.
Autoload is not available when browsing Projects.
Autoload is not available when browsing Samples with Prehear enabled — see section ↑4.3.3, Audi-
tioning Samples.
Autoload is not only useful to look for an appropriate Sound, Group, Plug-in preset or Sample, but
can also be very inspiring: With a Pattern playing, browse through your Library with Autoload acti-
vated and listen to Sounds and Samples you normally would not use in that context.
Autoload using the Controller
On your controller in Browse mode:
► Press Buttons 5 (PREV) and 6 (NEXT) above the right display to directly load the next or
the previous file from the result list.
Autoload is not available when browsing Projects.
Autoload is not available when browsing Samples with Prehear enabled — see section ↑4.3.3, Audi-
tioning Samples. When Prehear is enabled, Button 5 and 6 select the previous/next Sample in the
result list without loading it automatically.
