How to Preview Drum Phrases with Drum Sounds

[sj1]

In the process of preparing to post a question:

Q. "How can I arrange to preview drum phrases in RC using the sound of drums?"

I managed to work my way to the (an) answer, which I now post here in case someone else has the same question (or in case I need to look it up again in the future myself!).

A: Open the Chord Selector (e.g. via F10), choose Preview Phrase Browser and then open the Options

then check 'Preview Using Active Track Instrument'
and make sure to select an active track with a drums instrument on it.

After doing this the one-click Phrase Preview operation will play the phrase with the selected drum instrument.

Don't forget to select a melodic instrument track (or else change your option back) when you are done auditioning drum phrases!

Hi. I'm observing that when I make this desired setting, it is undone the next time I open the program.

Is there a place I can make this stick? If not, could that perhaps be added? Thanks.
