Expand/collapse buttons<br />
To load a Palette, first select it by clicking on it in the listing, and click the Load button.<br />

Grooves within a Palette<br />
You can expand a Palette by clicking the expand/collapse button to its left, in order to reveal its constituent Grooves.<br />
You can select and view information about a Groove within a Palette, as well as audition it before loading. However, the parent<br />
Palette always stays selected when selecting any Groove within it, so if you click the Load button with a constituent Groove<br />
selected, the parent Palette is loaded.<br />
Expand All & Collapse All<br />
These buttons allow you to quickly expand and collapse all Palettes in the listing.<br />
Other elements within a Palette<br />
A saved Palette stores the entire state of the Grooves page. In other words, it contains the following:<br />
• constituent Grooves<br />
• the selected Groove when the Palette was saved<br />
• settings for Default and individual Slot Groove Actions<br />
• Groove FX settings<br />
• settings in the Editor (such as grid swing, view settings etc)<br />
• Auto-Play settings<br />
• the contents of the Drum Track<br />
Delete Palette from database<br />
When you load a Palette, all these elements are loaded with it, overwriting the current state of the Groove page.<br />
