SOUNDS, PATCHES AND THE BROWSER

Using the “Search” function
The Search function allows you to search for patches, songs, audio files etc. The Search field is always available at
the top of the Browser.
D Type in a search text and click the Search button.
• The search happens in the currently shown folder/location (shown above the Search field) - and in all its sub
folders (if any).
The Root folder popup above the Search field shows "Searching <location>" where location is the current search
folder. The search looks for items (including folders and ReFills) with matching names. We don't show the con-
tents of a folder with matching name - we show the folder itself.
• If you like you can change the search location/folder and redo the search in the new location/folder.
• If the search takes a while, an alert window appears with a progress bar and a Stop button.
The search result view in the Browser list
• The search result is shown in alphabetical order as a flat list 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.
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.
