About patch formats and sampler devices
As both the NN-XT and NN19 sampler devices can load patches in the NN19 (.smp) and REX (.rx2/.rcy/.rex) for-
mats, there must be certain rules regarding cross-browsing.
• The basic rule is that the Browser will load such patches into the original device type (the device you opened
the browser from), whenever possible.
Thus, when the patch format is NN19 (.smp) or REX (.rx2/.rcy/.rex) and you are browsing from an NN19 device,
the patch will be loaded into this device.
• If you are browsing from any other type of device, these patch types will be loaded into a NN-XT device.
• If you are using the “Create Instrument” function, an NN19 (.smp) patch will create a NN19 device and a REX
patch will create a Dr. Octo Rex device.
Using the “Search” function
The Search function allows you to search for files by name and/or type. The Browser mode (patch, song etc.) deter-
mines what file type(s) you can search for, just as when you are manually navigating in the Browser.
The “Search In:” pop-up menu
This pop-up menu allows you to select where to search. The options are as follows:
• “Local disks” will perform a complete search of all local drives.
• “User Locations” will search all folders and ReFills stored in the Locations list (except the Desktop).
• “Current Folder” will limit the search to the currently selected root folder (including subfolders).
The “Search For:” text field
This is where you can enter a text string to search for.
• You can specify one or several words, whole or partial.
If you specify more than one word, the search will show results that match all specified words.
! Text search is not case sensitive.
q Note that you don’t have to enter text to use the Search function. Depending on the selected Browser (Patch,
Sample etc.), you can also simply search for files of the corresponding type in the selected location(s).
