Loading patches
To select and load a patch for a device, use one of the following methods:
D Click the “Browse Patch” button in the Patch section on the device panel.
The Patch section has the same basic layout for all patch devices; a Patch Name display, two “Select Patch” but-
tons (up/down) for stepping through patches sequentially, a “Browse Patch” button to open the browser, and a
“Save Patch” button to save patches.

! On the panels of the Redrum, NN19, NN-XT and Dr. Octo Rex devices, there are also other folder buttons, used
for loading samples or REX files. Make sure you click on the button in the Patch section (next to the patch
name display)!
D Select “Browse Patches” from the Edit menu or device context menu.
Note that the Edit menu reflects which device is selected - in other words, you must select the device for the cor-
responding Browse Patches item to appear on the Edit menu.
• In both cases, the Patch browser dialog appears, allowing you to locate and select the patch, on the file system
or within a ReFill.
Browser operations are described in “Using the Browser” later in this chapter.
• Once you have selected a patch, you can step between all the patches in the same folder by using the “Select
Patch” buttons on the device panel:
! Note that switching patches on a device this way can also change the actual device! See “About browse lists”.
D If you click on the Patch Name display on the device panel, a pop-up menu will appear, listing all patches in the
currently selected folder - see “About browse lists”).
This allows you to quickly select another patch, without having to step through the patches one by one. You can
also choose to open the Patch browser from this pop-up menu.
When you select a patch in any of the ways described above, the device’s parameters will be set according to the val-
ues stored in the patch, and the name of the patch will be shown in the Patch Name display.
! Any parameter adjustments you make on the device panel after selecting a patch will not affect the actual
patch file. For this to happen, you need to save the patch - see “Saving patches”.
! You can also select patches from a MIDI Master Keyboard or Control Surface - see “Remote - Playing and Con-
trolling Devices”.
