Playing the Attack Live
If you notice considerable latency times (delay) when you play the Attack via MIDI,
then the sound/audio card that you use and/or its driver is the source of the problem.
If the problem occurs within your system and recording by playing in real time is
important to you, then it is recommended that you replace your sound card and its
driver with a fast audio card and an ASIO driver (or CoreAudio driver for Mac OS X)
that have been optimized for the shortest possible latency time. When playing back
Attack data from a MIDI Track, latency does not occur.
The Solo Function of the Attack
With the Solo button in the upper left corner of the plug-in, you can listen
to a sound by itself. This is helpful if you want to listen to one particular
sound while triggering different sounds with the sequencer. All other sounds are mu-
ted when this function is active. The Solo button lights up in red when the function is
active. Of course you can choose different sounds while soloing, and only the
selected sound will be heard. To deactivate the Solo function, simply click the but-
ton again.
Functions of the Edit Menu
The Attack offers several different functions for convenient organization of kits and
sounds. In the edit menu in the upper left corner of the plug-in you can choose the
following functions:

Import File... (Mac OS X version only) imports a VST or AudioUnit program.
 Copy Sound copies the sound into the buffer.
 Paste Sound puts the copied sound into any desired place. This is useful when
creating variations of one particular sound.
w
Please keep in mind, that the buffer can hold only one sound at a time. As soon
as a second sound is copied with the Copy Sound function, the previously
selected sound is erased from the buffer. After inserting a sound with Paste
Sound
, the sound is still in the buffer and can be inserted into yet another po-
sition.
 Copy Kit copies the kit into the buffer.
 Paste Kit inserts the copied kit at any position. This is useful when exchanging
kits between different songs.
 With Compare Sound you can compare the edited sound with the original. As
soon as the Compare function is activated, the sound changes back to its original
settings and the Compare function in the edit menu gets a flag. Reselecting the
function brings up the edited version again.
 With Compare Kit you can compare the edited drum kit with the original. As
soon as the Compare function is activated, the kit changes to its original settings
and the Compare function in the edit menu gets a flag. Reselecting the function
brings up the edited version again.
