There are two ways to load samples in this mode: using the Project tab or the Samples tab. Let's try
each of them.
First, load a bass drum using the Project tab:
1. Make sure the Project button in the lower-left
corner of the touchscreen is marked red. If it
isn't, tap it.
2. Press Pad 1 or tap Pad 1 in the touchscreen to
select it. The pad will be lit green.
3. Use the techniques listed above to find a bass
drum sample you like.
4. To load it to the selected pad (Pad 1, in this
case), either double-tap it, or tap the Load
button in the lower-right corner. Now, you can
press Pad 1 to play the bass drum sample.
Tip: To load an entire folder of samples, press
and hold Shift, and then press Load All.
Next, load a snare drum using the Samples tab:
1. Tap Samples at the bottom of the touchscreen.
This lets you view the pads and project's sample
pool.
2. Press Pad 2 or tap Pad 2 in the touchscreen to
select it. The pad will be lit green.
3. Use the techniques listed above to find a snare
drum sample you like.
4. To load it to the selected pad (Pad 2, in this
case) double-tap it. Now, you can press Pad 2 to
play the snare drum sample.
To create a simple drum set, repeat the above steps for other pads. We recommend loading a closed hi-
hat and an open hi-hat.
