The MediaBay
The Results list
The rating slider
Using the rating slider above the Results list, you can specify rating settings for your
files, ranging from 1 to 5. This makes it possible to exclude certain files from the
search according to their quality.
When you move the rating slider, the active rating filter is indicated in red. All files of
this rating are displayed in the list.
The search in progress indicator
At the top right in the Results list you will find an indicator which shows whether the
MediaBay is currently searching for files.
Resetting the list
When you have set up filters for the Results list, you can set everything back to default
by clicking the Reset Results Filter button to the right of the Rating slider.
This will delete any text in the text search field, set the rating slider to display all files
and deactivate all the media type filters.
Shuffling the results
If you click the “Shuffle Results” button, the result list entries are listed in a random
order.
Inserting the files into the project
You can insert files into the project by right-clicking on them and selecting one of the
“Insert into project” options from the context menu, or you can double-click them.
What happens next depends on the track type:
Audio files, MIDI loops, and MIDI files can be inserted into the project by double-
clicking them in the Results list. They will be inserted on the active track, if this
matches the file type or onto a new track if no corresponding track is active. The files
will be inserted at the current project cursor position.
Similarly, if you double-click on a track preset, it will be applied to the active track, if
the track type matches the track preset. Otherwise, a new track will be inserted,
containing the settings of the track preset.
If you double-click a VST preset, an instrument track is added to the project,
containing an instance of the corresponding instrument. For some VST presets, this
will load the entire instrument settings, programs, etc. For others, only one program
will be loaded, see
“Applying instrument presets” on page 419.
When you double-click on a pattern bank, a new MIDI track is created in the Project
window, with an instance of the Beat Designer plug-in as insert effect which is using
this pattern.
With this setting, only files with a rating of at least 2 are displayed.
When this indicator is shown, a media search is in progress.
