The Overview: banks and pads
After you open a project, you land in the Overview. It shows the banks of your SoundSwitch project as pads, much like on a controller, and you pick the slot you want to design.
Step by step
- In the sidebar on the left, choose the type: “Autoloops”, “Static Looks” or “Songs”. The small number shows how many shows of that type there are.
- Below, under “Banks”, choose a bank. Next to each bank name you see how many of the 32 slots are used, e.g. “12/32”.
- On the right, the 32 slots of the bank appear as pads:
- Filled pads glow in the main colors of their show and show the name, the slot and, for Autoloops, the length in bars.
- Empty pads show a “+”. The next free Autoloop pad is labeled “New loop”.
- Tap a pad. The Studio opens for exactly this slot.

- Banks and slotsSoundSwitch organizes Autoloops and Static Looks in banks of 32 slots each. Droplit shows the same banks and names as SoundSwitch and writes to exactly the slot you choose.Summary
- Filling an empty slot with a new showA pad with “+” is a free slot. When you tap it, Droplit immediately builds a first show for your lights. You adjust it in the Studio and then save it to SoundSwitch.Summary
- Opening and editing an existing showTo open a show that’s already in SoundSwitch, tap its pad. Droplit loads it exactly as it’s saved in SoundSwitch and plays it in the preview.Summary
- Renaming, deleting or moving a showDroplit builds and changes shows in their slot. You can rename a show in the Studio. Deleting and moving aren’t part of Droplit; you do that in SoundSwitch.Summary
- Switching projectsAt the top left, next to “Droplit”, the project button shows which project you’re working in. It takes you back to the project list at any time.Summary
