Using the Plug-in menu: You can also choose the desired Plug-in directly from the Plug-in

slot itself via the Plug-in menu.

Note that these methods work in any channel: Sounds, Groups, or Master. However, since

Drumsynth is an instrument, you can load it only into the first Plug-in slot of Sounds.

The difference between the two loading methods is that the Browser allows you to load Plug-in

pre-

sets

(from the factory content or user-created), while the Plug-in menu allows you to load Plug-ins

in their

default state

.

Since you should already be familiar with the Browser (if not, check for example section

3.1,

Loading a Drum Kit from the Factory Library

or

4.2.1, Selecting Another Snare Sample

), this

time you will learn the method using the Plug-in menu.
