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.
What can a browse list contain?
• When you load a patch or sample by clicking Load/Create/Import in the Browser, the resulting browse list will
include the files contained in all currently open folders in the Browser.
If you open the Browser (set Browse focus) again from the same device, the same file and folder structure is
shown.
• If you save the current song and reopen it, the items in the browse list will be shown as a “flat” list, and the
“Root Folder” field will show “Document Browse List”.
In these situations, the Browser will show the “Parent” column, listing the names of the source folders. The “Root
Folder” drop-down list will also contain the item “Go to parent folder” for a selected file.
• A browse list could also be a Search result, or a Favorites List.
Favorites Lists provide a way of controlling/filtering which patches or samples will be available on a browse list for
a device - see “Using Favorites - a practical example”!
! Note that if you opened a patch after having used cross-browsing (see “Cross-browsing patch files”) or used
the Search function (see “Using the “Search” function”), the active browse list could contain patches of differ-
ent formats, and loading patches from the device panel could change the device type.
