Snapshot XML files
Snapshots are saved as separate XML files under the
specified name, e.g. “Blues.xml”.
You can arrange the snapshot files in subfolders.
Example for Windows
This way it is possible to e.g. rebuild the preset structure
of your device, which results in a corresponding folder
structure in the snapshot list.
Ö To make this structure visible in the Snapshot list, you
have to restart the program.
Patch name script text files
Patch name scripts are .txt files that e.g. are generated by
the additional tool “Steinberg Scriptmaker”. In them, the
banks and patches of a device are encoded.
Excerpt:
Ö The variable “device name” is the one that will show
up in the list of devices (with the manufacturer in brackets
behind it).
Patch name scripts are the files that are installed when
you choose “Install Device” in the MIDI Device manager.
If you want to make new patch name scripts / devices
available, you have to copy the files into the right folder, so
that the program will find them (see the section “Where
are the settings stored” in the Customizing chapter of the
Operation Manual).
For better overview, the patch names scripts delivered
with the software are sorted in folders by manufacturer.
For further information about the patch name script struc-
ture, check out the file “script documentation.txt” in the
Patchnames folder.
Ö Note that once a patch name script is installed as a
new device, manual changes in the original text file will not
be reflected in the installed device within the program.
You have to install the script again to update the device
information.
