  • Double click a file on the Styles page or the MIDI page of the Load panel to assign it to the selected pad.

    If you double click a percussion style when a Beat Agent or Acoustic Agent kit is loaded, the style is converted to a MIDI pattern and opened in the Pattern Player.

    You can also assign multiple MIDI files to consecutive pads this way.
