Using the Pattern Player
You can play back the pattern of a MIDI loop or a MIDI part with chord pads. This plays back the
pattern with the notes that make up the chord.
PROCEDURE

2. In the Selected Player Settings section, open the Player Modes pop-up menu, and select
Pattern.
3.
Perform one of the following actions:
● Click Import MIDI Loop to select a MIDI loop that you want to use as a pattern.
● Drag a MIDI part from the event display and drop it on the Pattern eld.
NOTE
The loop or part must have between 3 and 5 voices. In the MediaBay, the number of voices
is indicated in the Voices column of the Result list.
The loop or part is taken as a reference and denes how the chord is played.
4. In the Velocity from eld, select a velocity source for the notes.
