50 Media Pool
www.magix.com
A Soundpool consists of one or more Styles. Styles are sound libraries that
belong together and cover a certain musical style. The sounds (sample or MIDI
loops) of one style all have a certain tempo. You can mix loops from different
styles, and the tempos will be adjusted accordingly. Within a style, loops are
ordered according to instruments, and one instrument folder contains different
sounds. Each sound can have a different pitch (except for drums and effects
sounds).
The Soundpool display consists of several columns: First, all styles available in
the database are shown. The second column lists the instruments. The third
column, "Name", contains the list of the sounds found. These are displayed
according to the length of the beats (1,2, or 4 beats).

The different pitches are displayed above that (if available). An entry field for full
text search is located under the match list.
The list of samples found is created based on the entry selection in the first
two columns. With "Ctrl + click" you can reduce or expand selection. No
selection ("Ctrl + click" on a single selected element) shows all entries from this
category.
If you select an instrument, e.g. "Drums" and "Percussion" and no style, then
all drums and percussion samples in the whole database will be displayed.
In the search field, you can search the list of the sounds
found for a certain sound file name.
