User Interface & Basics

Since the size of your custom Projects, Layer Sets and Layers archive will grow continuously, the
internal Content Searcher of Independence will always help you to find exactly the Instruments you
are looking for - immediately and user-friendly. Click on the lens icon and the input field appears.
Now enter a search key (drums, for example)...
... and press the „return“ key to start the search function.
Now only the Projects, Layer Sets and Layers get listed in the appropriate pull-down menus which
exactly match to your search key. To disable the Content Searcher please click on the „X“ icon on
the right side of the input field and the Project, Layer Set and Layer pull-down menus will show
their original structure again.
The Project Notepad (infofile) is a small but nice feature. To save some custom details of your
Project (like creation date, modification date, in which session you use the project, etc.) click on
the „i“ icon and the notepad (infofile) will show up in the working area. Now enter your custom
information and click the „i“ icon again to close the notepad (infofile) and revert to your prior
screen.
IMPORTANT: If you do not use Independence as plug-in but in the standalone mode you always
have to save your Project before you close Independence. Otherwise all your
unsaved changes of the Layers get lost. Of course we included a warning dialog
to avoid accidental quitting.
In plug-in mode all your changes and settings get also saved in your session/song
of your sequencer software.
