Adding new sounds to the Sound Effects Software Instrument
You can add any Real or Software Instrument loop or Real Instrument recording to the Sound Effects instrument by dragging it to the Musical Typing window. You can play and record the added sound like any other instrument sound. When you save the project, the added sounds are saved as part of the Sound Effects instrument.
To add a new sound to the Sound Effects instrument:
- Select the track using the Sound Effects Software Instrument.
- Choose Window > Musical Typing to open the Musical Typing window.
- Drag the region or loop from the timeline or loop browser to the Musical Typing window, and release it over the key you want to use the sound.
If you transpose a region before dragging it to the Musical Typing keyboard, it keeps the transposition in the Sound Effects instrument. It will also play faster (if transposed up) or slower (if transposed down), similar to transposing a sound in a sampler.
When you drag a region over a key in the Musical Typing window, the key appears dimmed, as though it has been pressed.
