▪ + PATTERNS button disabled: Groups will be loaded without their Patterns. This allows
you to load another set of Sounds while keeping your current Patterns. Notably, this can be
very useful to try another drum kit with your current Patterns.
+PATTERNS is only available when browsing Groups.
4.3.5 Loading Groups with Routing
When the file type Groups is selected, the +ROUTING button is available in the Control bar of
the Browser. When the +ROUTING button is enabled the audio and MIDI routings stored in the
Group are also loaded (potentially overwriting previous routings in the selected Group). When
the +ROUTING button is off, any audio and MIDI routings saved in the Group will not be load-
ed, thus preserving any existing routings in the active Group.
4.3.6 Displaying File Information
The Information button.
► Click the Information button (showing a little “i”) next to the EDIT button in the right part
of the Control bar to display information on the file(s) selected in the Result list.
→ A box appears above with various information on the selected file(s): File Format, Date
modified, File Size, Type, as well as the Author and Vendor properties, if any (see section
↑4.5, Editing the Files’ Tags and Properties).
