Track types question in Playbeat

Help & Support
1

Hi,

I am trying experimenting around with using playbeat 4 as a midi generator in ableton to a drum machine on a different track.

I have a few questions about what specific drum types are assigned to the 8 tracks in Playbeat 4 seq when cycling through randomization changes using the ai generator.. Is this fixed ie track 1 is always assigned a kick sample, track 2 is always snare etc..?

Can they be changed so that tracks 1, 2 and 3 are assigned open, pedal and closed hi-hat samples as opposed to what type of sample is placed there now when a new generation is desired. I do not want to put my own samples on a track but just change what type of sample is used on a given track so it better maps to the external drum machine I am outputting midi notes to.
What is the function of the icon pictures which can be changed on left side of tracks and is there a reference to what they represent? (If they actually do anything)

Thanks,

Mitch
