Executing the search
D Click the “Find” button to execute the search according to your specifications.
After the search, the search result is shown as a flat list in the Browser, and the “Root Folder” field reads “Search
result”.
• A new “Parent” column also appears, listing the name of the parent folder for each file.
If you select a file, 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.
• Folder names are also included in the search result (given that it contains patch files of the appropriate type).
This means that if you are searching for “Guitar”, all samples or patches with “Guitar” in the filename will be shown,
but also all samples or patches contained in folders with “Guitar” in the name.
• If you have opened the Browser and searched for patches from an instrument device, you can select to show
all patches that match the search criteria by selecting to show “All Instruments” on the Show drop-down list.
This will extend the search result to show all patches that matches the search text. Note that you do not have to
repeat the search to do this.
• If you have opened the Browser and searched for patches using the “Create Instrument” or “Create Effect”
item on the “Create” menu, the “Show” drop-down list will be grayed out.
In this situation, the search result will always include “All Instrument Patches” or “All Effect Patches”.
Opening files
When you have navigated to the desired folder (on your hard disk or within a ReFill) and located the desired file, you
open it by double clicking it in the file display or by selecting it and clicking the “OK” button.
As described earlier, patches and samples are loaded directly upon selection, so clicking ”OK” doesn’t actually “open”
the file, it simply confirms the selection, and closes the Browser dialog.
About browse lists
When you click “OK” 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.
