SOUNDS, PATCHES AND THE BROWSER423
• The search result is shown in alphabetical order, in separate groups. If you search in the Factory Sound Bank
the result is divided into “Instrument Patches”, “Effect Patches”, “Other Patches”, “Samples” and “Folders”,
with files and folders whose names match the search string.
If there are no search hits, the Browser list is empty.
• A new “Parent” column also appears, listing the name of the parent folder for each file in the Browser list.
If you select a file in the Browser list, you can pull down the “Root Folder” drop-down list and select “Go to Parent
folder” - this opens the parent folder for the selected file:
In this example, selecting the Go to Parent Folder takes you to the “Synth FX” folder
To go back to the search result Browser list, click the Back button:
• When searching in the Instruments/Effects/Utilities palette, the search result view shows matching devices
only, not the manufacturer headings.
Loading files
When you have navigated to the desired folder (on your hard disk or within a ReFill) and located the desired file, you
load it by double clicking it in the Browser list, or by selecting it and clicking the Open/Load/Create/Import button.
The name of the button differs depending on what command you used for locating the file.
q Once you have loaded a patch into a device (that now has browse focus), you can select and automatically load
new patches by pressing the up/down arrow keys on your computer keyboard.
About browse lists
When you click the Open/Load/Create/Import button to open a file from the Browser, the file and folder list shown
at that time is memorized for that device. This is called a “browse list”.
For patches (and to a certain extent samples) this list provides a specific functionality:
• The browse list is what applies when changing patches using the Next/Previous Patch buttons on the front
panel of a device (or from patch selectors on a control surface).
• The browse list is shown as the patch list when you click in the patch name field for a device.
• For samples, the browse list applies when changing samples using the Next/Previous Sample buttons on the
front panel of a sampler device.
