3. Double-click the “Bass” folder to open it.
This folder contains 3 further sub-categories; Acoustic Bass, Electric Bass and Synth Bass.
4. Open the “Synth Bass” folder.
As you can see, the browser now not only displays Subtractor (.zyp) patches, but patches for many differ-
ent devices. For example, patches with the extension “.cmb” are Combinator patches, “.xwv” are Malström
patches etc.
5. Move the browser window so that you can see part of the rack.
6. Select a Subtractor patch (extension “.zyp”) in the browser but do NOT click OK.
A new Subtractor device has been added to the rack and should be in view. The patch you selected
can be auditioned if you play a few notes.
7. Keep an eye on the Subtractor device and use the “Select Previous/Next” buttons (or
your up/down arrow keys) to step through the patches in the browser.
When you load a patch belonging to another instrument device, the corresponding device will replace
the Subtractor device in the rack and allow you to audition the patch! Cross-browsing is a powerful
feature that enables you to quickly search for a sound without having to create new devices or to
open/close the browser etc.
8. When you have found a bass patch, click OK to close the browser.
A new corresponding sequencer track is added for the new instrument device.
D You can still access all the patches that were found when browsing (i.e. the patches in
the “All Instruments/Synth Bass” folder).
This is either done by clicking in the Patch Name display and selecting from the pop-up menu or by us-
ing the Select Next/Previous arrow buttons beside the Patch Name display. Selecting a patch for an-
other device will change the instrument instantly.
