instruments, and one instrument folder contains different sounds. Each sound can
have a different pitch (except for drums and effects sounds).
The Soundpool display consists of several columns: First, all styles available in the
database are shown. The second column lists the instruments. The third column,
"Name", contains the list of the sounds found. The respective name, tempo, length in
bars (1, 2, or 4 beats), and type is listed for them. The different pitches are displayed
above that (if available).
The list of samples found is created based on the entry selection in the first two
columns. With "Ctrl + click" you can reduce or expand selection. No selection ("Ctrl +
click" on a single selected element) shows all entries from this category.
If you select an instrument, e.g. "Drums" and "Percussion" and no style, then all drums
and percussion samples in the whole database will be displayed.
In the search field, you can search the list of the
sounds found for a certain sound file name.
There is one principle difference between the types of loops: While audio loops (.wav
or .ogg) are normal (looped) audio objects that can be applied anywhere in the
arranger, MIDI loops (MIDI takes) consist of MIDI data + the controlled synthesizer
(Vita or Revolta). This is automatically loaded to the track where you place the MIDI
loop. This means that you will need to use a new track for each additional MIDI loop
which controls a different sound. However, the same loop in another pitch is possible.
Loops can be loaded by double clicking, drag & drop, or by double clicking the
corresponding pitch. The objects will be inserted directly behind one another so that
complete accompanying tracks can be compiled quickly.
Tip: If you want to search in multiple lists at the same time, open a new manager via
"Tools -> Open new manager..." and switch to "Soundpool" in the new window. A
separate search query can be set for each list.
