Audition lets you preview MIDI groove files and DrumThrash files before importing them into your project.
Setting the MIDI map will help save time by skipping any unnecessary dialog windows when auditioning a MIDI file. Note that DrumThrash pattern files do not require a MIDI import channel.
When auditioning MIDI or DrumThrash pattern files you may be presented with one of the import dialogs found on the Save Load page.
