5 The Browser
The Tassman’s Browser is similar to those found in most email pro-
grams. Using a hierarchical tree structure, all the objects and files used in
the building and playing of synths are available using a visually intuitive,
drag and drop approach. These different elements have been organized
under five root folders.
• Imports
• Instruments
• Modules
• Sub-Patches
• Performances
5.1 The Instruments folder
To explore the different synths and presets in Tassman click on
the “+” icon to the left of the Instruments folder, in other words, ex-
pand this branch of the browser tree, in order to reveal the various in-
strument categories based on the different synthesis techniques used
and instrument types. Increasingly specific categories can be found
within by expanding each folder. Opening an individual instrument folder reveals the instrument
file, and by expanding the individual instrument you’ll find its presets. To play an instrument sim-
ply double click on the instrument icon (piano keys) or any of the preset icon (blue knob) in order
to launch the Tassman Player.
5.2 The Performances folder
Performances consist in a synth/preset combination associated with a
specific setting of the output effect stage and allow user to scroll rapidly
between instruments and sounds (more on performances in Chapter 4.
Playing the different performances is certainly the best way to explore
the wide sonic possibilities of the Tassman. To load a performance, simply double click on the
green icon.
