hide the browser completely, move the double-headed arrow cursor fully to the
left. Note that when Ultra Analog Session is used as a plug-in, the browser size is
fixed and can not be modified.
2.6 MIDI maps
MIDI maps containing information about MIDI links between the MIDI controllers
and the Ultra Analog Session interface can easily be created as will be explained
in Section 6.2. MIDI maps are represented in the browser with a MIDI connector
icon. MIDI maps are treated exactly the same way as presets in the browser and
are saved using the Save MIDI Links or Save MIDI Links As commands from
the File menu.
2.7 Exporting and Importing Presets and MIDI maps
The Import and Export commands, found in the File drop down menu, allow one
to easily exchange presets and MIDI maps with other Ultra Analog Session users.
This feature can also be used to decrease the number of elements in the browser
by archiving older or rarely used ones elsewhere, on CD-R, or a second hard disk
for example. Files containing Ultra Analog Session presets and MIDI maps are
equivalent in size to short text file, making it easy to send presets to other users via
email.
To export a folder, a group of folders, presets or MIDI maps within a folder,
select the elements to export in the browser and use the Export command from the
File menu. When the Export window appears, choose a file name and a destination
location on your hard disk. Ultra Analog Session export files will be saved with an
“lls” extension.
Importing presets and MIDI maps is just as easy. Simply click on the Import
command from the File drop down menu, and select the file to import. A new
folder will then appear under the Imports directory in the browser, containing all
of the files contained within the imported package. These can then be dragged and
dropped to a new folder, or remain in the Imports directory.
2.8 Backuping Presets and MIDI maps
There are basically two ways to backup your presets and MIDI maps: exportation
and database backup. The database backup is more efficient when there is a large
number of elements to backup.
