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.
In the search field, you can search the list of
the sounds found for a certain sound file
name.
There is one principle difference between the types of loops: While audio loops
(.wav or .ogg) are normal (looped) audio objects that can be applied anywhere
in the arranger, MIDI loops (MIDI takes) consist of MIDI data + the controlled
synthesizer (Vita or Revolta). This is automatically loaded to the track where
