TYPES
TYPES tags are structured into two hierarchical levels—top-level tags and sub-level tags.
• At first the TYPES menu displays the available top-level tags only.
• As soon as a tag in the top level is selected, the second level appears underneath with sub-
tags of the selected top-tag.
• The hierarchical structure means that the sets of sub-tags are specific to each tag of the level
above.
CHARACTERS
The CHARACTERS tags provides an additional level that is independent of the TYPES levels:
• In general, CHARACTERS tags refer to technical terms (e.g., Arpeggiated, Percussive, Syn-
thetic).
• The CHARACTERS tags are always displayed. You can start your search with the CHARAC-
TERS menu before, or even without, using the TYPES tags.
• However, the list of tags available in the CHARACTERS menu will vary depending on the se-
lected TYPES tags. If no file contains both the Types and Characters tags that you have selec-
ted, the Type tags will prevail and the Characters tags will be deselected.
If you don’t select any tag in the TYPES or the CHARACTERS menus, the Result list will include
all available files for the selected Instrument.
Both the Types as well as the Characters tags menus can be collapsed and expanded by clicking
on the arrows to allow for a larger Results list display.
