The Browser on your controller.
On the displays of your controller, the Browser is organized as follows:
▪ The left display allows you to narrow your search by selecting the file type, the content type
(factory or user files), as well as a product category, a product, a bank, and a sub-bank.
▪ The right display allows to further refine your search by selecting the desired Type (and
possibly Mode) tags. It also shows you the corresponding result list. Turn the jog wheel or
Knob 8 to select any entry from the list, and press the jog wheel or Button 8 (LOAD) to
load it.
The above steps are described in detail in the following sections. In addition, on your controller
you will find most of the browsing aids available in the software, as described in section ↑3.3,
Additional Browsing Tools.
Make sure you tag all the files extensively that you want to use often, as this makes
them much easier to access using the controller.
Browsing Your Library Using the Jog Wheel and the FUNCTION Buttons
As usual on your controller, each parameter visible at the bottom of either display can be ad-
justed by the Knob directly underneath. This is also true in Browse mode, as you will see in the
next sections.
However the Browse mode additionally provides an alternate, unified method for adjusting any
field appearing at the bottom of the displays: using the jog wheel and the two FUNCTION but-
tons below.
