Using patches
When you create a new Kong device it is loaded with a default kit. If you like you can use the default kit - or you can
load another Kong Kit patch (or create one from scratch, by loading individual Drum patches). A Kong Kit patch con-
tains settings for the 16 Drum channels, complete with parameter settings and file references to any samples used.
Loading a Kit Patch
To load a patch, use one of the following methods:
D Use the browser to locate and open the desired patch.
To open the browser, select “Browse Kong Patches” from the Edit menu or device context menu, or click the folder
button in the patch section on the device panel.
D Once you have selected a patch, you can step between all the patches in the same folder by using the arrow
buttons next to the patch name display.
D If you click and hold on the patch name display on the device panel, a pop-up menu will appear, listing all Kong
Kit patches in all currently expanded folders in the Patch Browser.
This allows you to quickly select another patch without having to step through each one in turn.
D Use the drag and drop method to drag Kong Kit Patch files from the Browser and drop on the Kong panel.
The Kong panel is dimmed in orange and a Patch Replace symbol appears in the center.
