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 Li-
brary with Autoload activated 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
↑3.3.3, Auditioning Samples. When Prehear is enabled, Button 5 and 6 select the previ-
ous/next Sample in the result list without loading it automatically.
3.3.2 Auditioning Instrument Presets
When you are browsing Instrument presets, a Prehear button and Prehear Volume slider appear
next to the Autoload button.
The Prehear controls.
► Click the Prehear button (showing a little speaker icon) to enable/disable Prehear.
When Prehear is enabled, you can directly hear Instrument presets as you select them in the
Result list of the LIBRARY pane or FILES pane.
► Drag the Prehear Volume slider next to the Prehear button to adjust the volume of the In-
strument presets you are pre-listening to.
