Hi,

you are not missing a preference. There is no audition function when you right-click and select from the available instruments for the current position from the same library.

Just switch it and trigger via controller or Preview pad. Or just hit Alt+R to bring up the Search for Instrument window, which gives you the option to skip replacing the instrument.

BR,

Ok, I discovered the preview pad.  That helps in other situations.  But I don’t understand how that will help audition the sounds in the right-click menu where I should simply be able to use the up/down arrows and hear that drum sound.

As you probably know, clicking on a drum replacement, then the window automatically closes and you test it by hitting the drum, then it’s not the right sound so again right click, select another, the window closes…horrible cycle to audition.

After submitting this issue here I did the same directly with Toontrack.  They said they have no idea why audition function won’t work with the right-click pop-up, but will work in the Search for Instruments window.  Maybe I should suggest this as a feature request?  Obviously searching in the Search for Instruments window takes a lot more time.

Which brings up another question…what is the criteria for drum replacements when doing right-click?  Are those what’s available in the SDX that I currently have open?

thanks for your reply!
