The Included VST Instruments
LoopMash
With the blue buttons and the yellow button, you can apply additional effects that
cannot be applied to single slices:
Ö You cannot save these global effects in scenes. To apply effects and save them in
scenes, you should use slice effects.
Triggering the Performance Controls with Your MIDI Keyboard
You can trigger the Performance Controls with your MIDI keyboard starting from C3
upwards. You can also make use of the Virtual Keyboard for triggering the
Performance Controls (for information about the Virtual Keyboard see the Operation
Manual).
Saving and Loading VST Presets
You can save all current scenes as a VST preset. Proceed as follows:
1. At the top of the LoopMash window, click the icon to the right of the Preset field
and select “Save Preset” from the pop-up menu.
The Save Preset dialog opens.
2. Enter a name for the new preset and click OK.
You find the preset in the MediaBay under User Content. Make sure that you tag
your presets for better handling in the MediaBay.
To load an existing VST preset, proceed as follows:
1. At the top of the LoopMash window, click the icon to the right of the Preset field
and select “Load Preset” from the pop-up menu.
The Presets browser opens.
2. The Presets browser shows all presets it finds in the VST 3 Presets folder for
LoopMash. Double-click a preset.
The Presets browser is closed and the preset is loaded into LoopMash.
• When a loop belonging to a preset cannot be found, LoopMash displays a
standard file dialog in which you can navigate to the file.
Ö The “Empty” preset clears all settings of the current LoopMash instance.
Loading VST Presets Saved with a Former Version of LoopMash
When you load a VST preset that was saved with a previous version of LoopMash, all
new parameters are automatically set to values that match the behavior of the
previous LoopMash version.
Ö To ensure MIDI control compatibility, the saved scenes are shifted to the scene pads
13–24, that is, the scene on pad 1 is shifted to pad 13, the scene on pad 2 to pad 14,
and so on.
Button Description
Cycle 4, 2, 1 Temporally sets up a short cycle over 4, 2, 1 slice,
respectively. This short cycle is always set up within the loop
range that is set in the ruler (see
“Setting a Loop Range” on
page 165). Setting up a cycle over 1 slice means that this
slice is repeated until you release the button.
Continue Plays back the tracks of the currently selected slices
continuously until you release the button.
