Working with the MediaBay

Setting Attributes

To set or change the attributes that are associated with the selected media file in the

results list, you have the following options:

- To change the rating, click in the Rating field and drag with the mouse.

- To change the Tempo or Bars & Beats attributes, click in the corresponding field

to highlight it, then click again, and type in the new value.

- To change the Key, Sub Style, and Sub Category attributes, click in the

corresponding field to highlight it and click again to open a pop-up menu where

you can choose a new value.

- To change the Character attribute, click in the corresponding field to highlight it,

then click again to open a dialog where you can change the settings.

Using Drag & Drop

You can drag files and presets from the MediaBay to various zones in the program. If

you drag a loop or preset into an empty section of the Arrange Zone, a new track of

the corresponding type is created.

Audio Files

Audio files can be dropped in the Arrange Zone or the pad section on the Beat Page.

MIDI Loops

MIDI loops can be dropped in the Arrange Zone. This creates a new instrument track.

Instrument Sounds

Instrument sounds can be dropped on an empty section of the track list. This creates

a new instrument track that contains the instrument sound. If you drag an instrument

sound onto an existing instrument track, the current instrument track preset is

replaced.

Audio Track Presets

Audio track presets can be dropped in an empty section of the Arrange Zone. This

creates a new audio track that uses this preset. If you drag an audio track preset onto

an existing audio track, the current audio track preset is replaced.

Pattern Banks

Pattern banks, that is, track presets with a beat pattern, a drum kit, and track settings,

can be dropped on an empty section of the Arrange Zone. This creates a new beat

track that uses this preset. If you drag a pattern bank onto a beat track, the current

beat track preset is replaced.

You can also drop pattern banks on the different zones of the Beat Page. Depending

on where you drop it, only the patterns, only the sound (drum kit), or both are replaced.

You can select several files simultaneously and change their attributes all in one go

holding down [Shift] or [Ctrl]/[Command].
