2:2 Hit tab
The Hit tab of the Browser lets you load single-hit sounds – in
other words, sounds which can be loaded onto a single Pad.
• To load a sound onto a Pad, simply click and drag and drop a
sample from the files pane to the Pad. Pads can contain up to
8 layered sounds: please see chapter 3 for details on loading
multiple layers.
• .WAV and .AIFF files of any sample-rate or bit-depth can be
loaded.
Using Auto mode
Auto mode is designed to work with Patterns: you won’t hear
anything unless there’s a Pattern playing. If you’re just start-
ing out with GURU, jump forward to section 2:4 and load a
Pattern.
• Engage the Auto button.
• Click the Pad on which you want to load a sample and navi-
gate to the desired sample in the Hit tab of the Browser.
• When the sample is clicked, the Pad will start flashing. Guru
will begin to play if it was previously stopped, with the selected
sound playing whenever the relevant Pad is triggered by the
Pattern.
• When you’re happy with the sound, click in order to
load it to the Pad.
• Otherwise, you can click another sample, or use the
buttons to browse through the samples in the current folder.
• If you change your mind and decide you don’t want to load a
new sound onto the Pads, click the
button – the previewing
will stop and the contents of the Pads will not be changed.
