Patch Library
Each project has its own collection, or “library,” of as many
as 128 patches that any song in the project can use.
Effects Library
The project effects library really consists of
four separate effect libraries: an MFX library, a
delay/chorus library, a reverb library, and a Mastering
Toolkit library.
You can store your current effect settings as a “preset” in the corresponding
library. Any stored preset can be used in any of the project’s songs.
MIDI Clip Library
In each project, you can stash up to 100 favorite musical
chunks in its MIDI clip library. The library acts as a sort of
project scrapbook, holding bits and pieces that you can
use in any of the project’s patterns or songs.
Audio Phrase Setup
You can play any sample from a pad as an audio phrase.
Since there are 16 pads, and 32 pad banks, you can assign
audio phrases to as many as 512 pads in a project.
The advantage of playing a sample as an audio phrase—instead of in a
patch—is that an audio phrase can automatically time-stretch or time-
shrink in realtime to match the tempo and key of a pattern or song as
you tweak its feel.
