Previewing presets using the Memo Recorder
The Memo Recorder function continually repeats a given
sequence of notes as a loop.
To use the Memo Recorder, proceed as follows:
1. On the Sequence Mode pop-up menu, select Memo
Recorder.
2. Enter the notes via the MIDI or computer keyboard.
The Play button is automatically activated and you will instantly hear the
notes you play with the preset settings applied.
• When you stop playing notes and wait for 2 seconds,
the note sequence you played until this moment will be
played back in a continuous loop.
To use another sequence, simply start entering notes again.
Ö You cannot use the Memo Recorder when previewing
presets using a MIDI file.
Previewing presets via the computer keyboard
Proceed as follows:
1. Activate the “Computer Keyboard Input” button.
The keyboard display in the Previewer section works in the
same way as the Virtual Keyboard, see
“The Virtual Key-
board” on page 73.
2. Enter the notes via the corresponding keys on the
computer keyboard.
The Filters section
With the MediaBay, you can perform very refined file
searches.
Performing a context menu search
If you have selected a file in the Results list which contains
an attribute you are interested, there is a very fast way to
look for other files with the same attribute.
• Right-click the selected file to open the context menu
and select the attribute value from the “Search for…” sub
-
menu.
This way you can easily find all the files that have this value in common, for
example if you want to view all files that were created on the same day.
Applying an attribute filter
The MediaBay allows you not only to view and edit some
of the standard file attributes found in all computer files,
but it also provides preconfigured attributes, or “tags”,
that you can use to organize your media files.
The Filters section displays all values found for a specific
attribute. Selecting one of these values will result in a list of
files all showing this particular attribute value. For example,
you could look for sample rates and pick 44.1 kHz to give
you a list of all files with that particular sample rate.
The advantages of the use of attributes become obvious
when having to find a specific file in a large database,
without knowing the name of that file.
The Filters section always shows attribute columns, each
with its own list of attribute values. If the columns are wide
enough, the number of files that match this criteria is dis
-
played to the right of the filter name.
• To define an Attribute filter, click on the values in an at-
tribute column.
Only the files that match the selected attribute values are now shown in
the Results list. Select more attribute values from other columns to fur
-
ther refine your filter.
!
When you activate the “Computer Keyboard Input”
button, the computer keyboard is used exclusively for
the Previewer sections, i.
e. the usual key commands
are blocked. The only exceptions are:
[Ctrl]/[Command]-[S] (Save), Num [*] (Start/Stop
Record), [Space] (Start/Stop Playback), Num
[1]
(Jump to left locator), [Delete] or [Backspace]
(Delete), Num [/] (Cycle on/off), and [F2] (Show/
Hide Transport panel).
!
Some attributes are directly linked to each other (e. g.
for each Category value, there are certain Sub Cate-
gory values available). Changing the value in one of
these attribute column will give you different values in
the other column!
