The option "Hide instruments without available loops" completely
hides instrument groups in the Soundpool manager for which there
are no loops present in a certain style (instead of being grayed out).
Every detected Soundpool (on CD/DVD or on the hard drive) is added
to the database and displayed there, even if the corresponding
medium is currently not in the drive or if the Soundpool has been
deleted or moved. The option "Clean up Soundpool" removes these
entries from the database. "Reset Soundpool" will reset the
Soundpool database so you can re-import the Soundpools later.
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. The respective name, tempo, length in bars (1, 2, or 4
beats), and type is listed for them. The different pitches are displayed
above that (if available).
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.
