File Browser

The File Browser lets you navigate through your computer's internal

and external hard disks to load samples, Sequences, Songs, etc.

Using filter buttons and user-definable folders, you can easily adapt

the File Browser to your preferred workflow. You can also preview

(audition) your samples before loading them.

In the software, the File Browser is in the left area of the window. It

can be hidden or revealed by clicking the arrow (W or X) in the

lower-left corner of the window or by pressing B on your computer's

keyboard.

To get the most efficient use of the File Browser, set the file path to

your hard disk(s) first. There are five Folder Buttons labeled 1 to 5

at the top of the File Browser. Here, you can select up to five

locations on your hard disk(s) to give you quick access to your files.

Note: The File Browser does not display irrelevant files (e.g., text

documents, spreadsheets, pictures, etc.).

To set the file path:

1. Click the File Browser's drop-down menu. You'll see an

overview of your hard disk structure, which looks quite similar

to the Explorer (Windows) or the Finder (Mac OS X).

2. Navigate to the desired location. The folder's content will

appear in the File Browser.

3. Press and hold your computer's Shift key and click one of the

Folder Buttons (1 – 5) at the top of the File Browser.

Now, when you click that Folder Button again, the File Browser

will display that folder's content immediately.

You can filter the displayed files with the filter buttons. The selected

buttons will light red. Click No Filt to switch the filter function off.

Click Proj. to show only Project files. Click Seq. to show only

Sequence files. Click Prog. to show only Program files. Click

Sample to show only audio files.
