Using Instruments

An Instrument is simply a multi-sample—a collection of samples programmed into a Big Bang
Cinematic Percussion Instrument. Over 200 Instruments are included for you to play with, and
any of these can be edited using the knobs and sliders and saved as new Instruments. Any Big
Bang Cinematic Percussion file with the extension .svx is an Instrument file.

Loading an Instrument

To play Instruments, you must first load one into the interface.

To load an Instrument:

1.

Click the Load button (folder icon).

2.

Choose Load SVX File.

3.

Locate and select the Patch file (.svx) you want to play (in the Ensembles and Drums
folders in the BigBang 2 folder), and click Open.

Tip: You can also use the up and down arrows (

and

) to the left of the Folder

button to move between all the Instruments in your content folder. These buttons will
scroll up and down through Instruments alphabetically in the content folder, including
any custom Instruments you have saved as well. This is useful when you are exploring
different Instruments for the first time or if you are "auditioning" Instruments for a
session.

Tip: You can also select Instruments from the Browser. Please see the Browser section for
more information.

Tip: Each instance of the plugin can have one Instrument loaded at a time. If you want to use
more than one Instrument in a project, simply open another instance of Big Bang Cinematic
Percussion on another track in your software.

Saving an Instrument

To save your own custom Instruments, click the Save button (disk
icon), and select Save SVX File. This will open a dialog asking you
where and with what name you would like to save your Instrument.
