The right display showing a result list with the Markadellic Sound selected.
Check that the desired Group or Sound slot is focused and/or the desired Plug-in slot is
selected before loading the file from the Browser to avoid loading it at the wrong place!
To set the focus to a Group or a Sound slot, you can use Group buttons A–H and the
pads without leaving Browse mode (see section ↑2.3.6, Focusing on a Group or a Sound
to know how to do it). To select a particular Plug-in slot, you will need to temporarily
leave Browse mode and select the right slot (see section ↑2.3.7, Switching Between the
Master, Group, and Sound Level and ↑2.3.8, Navigating Channel Properties, Plug-ins,
and Parameter Pages in the Control Area for more information). In any case, don’t hesi-
tate to press UNDO/REDO to undo/redo your actions.
▪ The file is loaded in the focused Group, the focused Sound, or the selected Plug-in slot (if
it’s an Instrument Plug-in, it will be loaded in the first Plug-in slot of the focused Sound).
If you are loading a Project, it will replace the Project currently opened. If the current Project
contains unsaved changes, a message appears in the displays asking you if you wish to save
them. Press Button 8 (SAVE) to confirm, Button 7 (DISCARD) to close the current Project
without saving the changes, or Button 5 (CANCEL) to cancel the operation and return to the
current Project.
In Browse mode, the jog wheel can control any of the parameters at the bottom of the
left or right display. The parameter currently controlled is indicated by thin brackets. By
default the jog wheel scrolls the result list (frame on the number of results at the far
right). To switch the jog wheel to any other parameter, press the FUNCTION buttons un-
der the jog wheel!
