FXpansion GURU - Manual (Page 25)

24
2:4 Patterns tab
The Browser’s Pattern tab allows you to save and load Pat-
terns, either individually (the current Pattern), or the whole
bank of 24 Patterns in the current Engine using ‘Pattern Sets’.
If you save a Pattern Set, the filename can be expanded with
the button to reveal each Pattern contained within it.
As well as GURU’s own .G01and .G24 formats, standard MIDI
files ( .MID) can be loaded from the Patterns Browser.
Loading Patterns and Pattern Sets
To load a Pattern while in Auto mode:
• Click the Pattern key (or its corresponding MIDI key) on
which you want to load a new Pattern.
• Navigate in the Browser to the desired Pattern and click on
it. You will notice that the Pattern key starts flashing. Guru will
start playing if it isn’t already, and if there are sounds already
loaded onto the Pads in the current Engine, the previewed
Pattern will be heard in context, triggering the sounds on the
Pads.
• Click in order to load a Pattern once you’re done
previewing.
• Otherwise, you can click another Pattern, or use the
buttons to browse through the Patterns in the current folder.
• If you change your mind and decide you don’t want to load a
new Pattern, click the
button – the previewing will stop and
a new Pattern will not be loaded.
• If you want to load a Pattern Set, the process is the same,
except that multiple Pattern keys will start flashing. The cur-
rently viewed Pattern will play in context.
To load a Pattern while not in Auto mode, simply drag and
drop a Pattern from the Browser to a Pattern key. By holding
down the [SHIFT] key, you can also drag and drop a compo-
nent Pattern in a Pattern Set to a Pattern key.
