SOUNDS AND PATCHES
317
• If you have opened the Browser and searched for patches from an instrument device, you can select to show
all patches that match the search criteria by selecting to show “All Instruments” on the Show drop-down list.
This will extend the search result to show all patches that matches the search text. Note that you do not have to
repeat the search to do this.
• If you have opened the Browser and searched for patches using the “Create Instrument” or “Create Effect”
item on the “Create” menu, the “Show” drop-down list will be grayed out.
In this situation, the search result will always include “All Instrument Patches” or “All Effect Patches”.
Opening files
When you have navigated to the desired folder (on your hard disk or within a ReFill) and located the desired file, you
open it by double clicking it in the file display or by selecting it and clicking the “OK” button.
As described earlier, patches and samples are loaded directly upon selection, so clicking ”OK” doesn’t actually “open”
the file, it simply confirms the selection, and closes the Browser dialog.
About browse lists
When you click “OK” to open a file from the Browser, the file and folder list shown at that time is memorized for that
device. This is called a “browse list”.
For patches (and to a certain extent samples) this list provides a specific functionality:
• The browse list is what applies when changing patches using the Next/Previous Patch buttons on the front
panel of a device (or from patch selectors on a control surface).
• The browse list is shown as the patch list when you click in the patch name field for a device.
• For samples, the browse list applies when changing samples using the Next/Previous Sample buttons on the
front panel of a sampler device.
What can a browse list contain?
• When you confirm a patch or sample selection by clicking “OK” in the Browser, the resulting browse list will in-
clude the files contained in all currently open folders in the Browser.
If you open the Browser again for the same device, the same file and folder structure is shown.
• If you save the current song and reopen it, the items in the browse list will be shown as a “flat” list, and the
“Root Folder” field will show “Document Browse List”.
In these situations, the Browser will show the “Parent” column, listing the names of the source folders. The “Root
Folder” drop-down list will also contain the item “Go to parent folder” for a selected file.
• A browse list could also be a Search result, or a Favorites List.
Favorites Lists provide a way of controlling/filtering which patches or samples will be available on a browse list for
a device - see “Using Favorites - a practical example”!
! Note that if you opened a patch after having used cross-browsing (see “Cross-browsing patch files”) or used
the Search function (see “Using the “Search” function”), the active browse list could contain patches of differ-
ent formats, and stepping through patches from the device panel could change the device type.
