Using the Pattern Player
You can determine how the triggered chord is played: as a plain chord, or according
to a selected pattern. The pattern player plays the notes that make up the chord one
after another (arpeggio).
PROCEDURE
1. Select Show/Hide Settings > Players > Pattern.
2. 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 to the Drop MIDI Part field.
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 defines how the chord is played. The
Drop MIDI Part field displays the name of the selected loop or part.
3. In the Velocity from: field, select a velocity source for the notes.
• Activate MIDI Keyboard to determine the velocity values by pressing the keys
on your MIDI keyboard harder or softer.
• Activate Pattern to use the velocity values from the MIDI loop or the MIDI part
that is selected as a pattern.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
If you have a pattern that you want to use in other projects, you can save it using the
presets section in the pattern player.

Using Different Players on Multiple Tracks
You can set up different players with different sounds on different tracks. If you
record-enable these tracks and play the chord pads, each track uses a dedicated
player.
PROCEDURE
1. Select Project > Add Track > Instrument.
2. In the Add Instrument Track dialog, enter the number of tracks in the Count
field, and select a VST instrument.
