Common AIR Fabric XL Virtual Instrument Plug-in Collection Questions
How do I configure my MIDI keyboard to control AIR Fabric XL?
Ensure your MIDI keyboard is connected and recognized by your DAW. Within Fabric XL, navigate to the 'Settings' menu and select your MIDI input device under 'MIDI Input'.
Where are my saved Patterns/Presets/Kits stored, and how can I back them up?
Fabric XL stores Patterns/Presets/Kits in your user documents folder, typically under 'AIR Music Technology/Fabric XL'. Back up this entire folder to safeguard your custom creations.
How do I load a drum kit and start creating a beat with the built-in sequencer?
Click the 'Browser' icon, navigate to the 'Kits' section, and select a kit. Then, in the sequencer window, click on the steps to trigger sounds and create a pattern, and adjust the loop length at the top of the sequencer display.
Why am I hearing crackling or distortion when using certain Fabric XL presets, especially with multiple voices?
This can be caused by CPU overload. Try increasing your DAW's buffer size, disabling unnecessary effects within Fabric XL, or freezing tracks to reduce the CPU load.
What is the 'Dynamic Shape' feature, and how can I use it to create evolving soundscapes?
The 'Dynamic Shape' feature allows you to modulate multiple parameters simultaneously using a single control, creating complex and evolving textures; assign parameters in the 'Dynamic Shape' matrix and adjust the main 'Shape' knob to hear the effect.
