What do you mean come out ?

Can't you hear any sound coming out of your speakers ?
Have you put it onto a instrument track ?

[gil5280]

no i hear the sound, i mean to put it on a track so it comes out

I'm too unsure of myself right now to think of a plausible action. I posted an idea, but I believe I was wrong with it, so this is me editing that idea by saying I'm not 100% sure I was saying the right actions involved. Haha, sorry! :S

I'm still a little (ok... A LOT) un-clear here.

If you hear it, it is "coming out" isn't it? I don't understand what you are trying to do and what is not working.

i think he means assigning the pattern nmber to a midi note to control playback??d also bounce it to disk this way.

It won't come out until it's ready, and truly comfortable with it's own sexuality

Hehe

If you in a coherent way could describe what your problem is I would be easier for people here to help you.

Saying that it wount come out really doesnt give us much to go on.

ok so i have opened the boom, and i made the drum loop i wanted... now how do i add it to the actual mix, like take it out of the plug in and put it into a track. thats what i meant, make it part of the song..

I (or actually the manual) already answered that...!

Playing Patterns using MIDI

Much like you can switch between patterns by
clicking on various Event switches, you can play
and switch between patterns using MIDI data.

This lets you create interactive changes in your
beat over time, and record the MIDI data so that
the same sequence can be played back and ed-
ited once it’s been recorded.

To play patterns using a MIDI controller

1 Record-enable the Instrument track on which
Boom is inserted.

2 Use the octave switches on your MIDI control-
ler to make sure you have access to MIDI notes
C3–C4. You may need to play a number of notes
to find the right range, but once you have, you’ll
notice that Boom plays a pattern each time you
play a note.

3 If you press and hold a note, the correspond-
ing pattern plays until you release the note.

4 If you play legato within that range while
holding down the first note, Boom switches pat-
terns, starting the new pattern at the same
rhythmic step where the previous pattern left
off.

This MIDI data can be recorded and edited using
the MIDI sequencer in Pro Tools, letting you cre-
ate complex sequences of drum patterns.
If you do not have a MIDI controller, you can
use the Pencil tool in Pro Tools to create a se-
quence of MIDI notes to trigger patterns over
time.

Seriously... reading is fundamental.
