    • Press Shift-E.

    • In the Players panel, click Add Ensemble Add Ensemble button.

    • In an empty project, click Add Ensemble Add Ensemble button in the project start area.

  2. Select or build the ensemble you want in the ensemble picker.
  3. Optional: If you built a new ensemble that you want to reuse in future projects, click Save to open the Save Custom Ensemble dialog and save your ensemble.
  4. Click Add.
