→ The selected file is loaded in the focused Group, the focused Sound, or the selected Plug-
in slot (if it’s an Instrument Plug-in, it will be loaded in the first Plug-in slot of the fo-
cused Sound).
Check that the desired Group or Sound slot is focused and/or the desired Plug-in slot is selected
before loading the file from the Browser to avoid loading it at the wrong place! To set the focus to a
Group or a Sound slot, you can use Group buttons A–H and the pads without leaving Browse mode
(see section ↑3.3.3, Focusing on a Group or a Sound to know how to do it). To select a particular
Plug-in slot, you will need to temporarily leave Browse mode and select the right slot (see section
↑3.3.4, Switching Between the Master, Group, and Sound Level and ↑3.3.5, Navigating Channel
Properties, Plug-ins, and Parameter Pages in the Control Area for more information). In any case,
don’t hesitate to press SHIFT + pad 1 / SHIFT + pad 2 to undo/redo your actions.
