4: Metadata columns
For each item, the list shows the Type, Name, Collection, Category, Author, and Notes, as well as whether or not the
item is locked factory data. You can drag the top of the columns to re-arrange them, or to resize the columns.
Click on a column heading to sort; click again to reverse the sort order. The triangle icon shows which column is
selected for sorting, and the direction of the triangle (up or down) shows the sort order.
5: Play/Edit/Librarian select
The buttons in the upper right of the main window select whether you’re working with the Editor or the Librarian. For
more information, see “3: Play/Edit/Librarian modes” on page 5.
6: Menu
This menu gives access to overall settings such as CC assignments and the User Sample Bank, undo/redo, user interface
size scaling, “About” information, and Librarian-specific commands.
7: Favorite icon
Click on the heart to mark (or un-mark) an item as a Favorite. You can then find them later via the “Favorite” Category.
Unlike other metadata, you can change the Favorite setting even for locked factory data.

8: Info Panel
This panel lets you view and edit the metadata for the selected items, including the Name, Collection, Categories 1 & 2,
Author, and Notes. If more than one item is selected, and the items have different settings for a metadata field (such as
the name or category), the field shows the note “<Multiple Values.>”
If the lock icon is shown, the selection includes factory data, and the fields cannot be edited. You can, however, copy
text to paste elsewhere.
The Inspector panel can be resized by dragging its left edge.
9: Search
Type into this field to filter the list by searching for text in any of the metadata fields. Click on the “X” to clear the field.
10: Categories
Categories let you filter by the type of sound, such as basses, leads, bells, etc. Each sound can be assigned to two
Categories, and each data type—Performances, Programs, etc.—has its own list of Categories. Click on a Category
name to filter by that Category; click on the “X” to de-select all Categories.
When searching by Category, a sound will be shown if either of its Categories match the search criteria.
This section also includes “Favorites,” which shows all sounds which you’ve marked as favorites. You can use the
Favorites selection in combination with any other Categories.
11: Collections
Categories let you filter sounds by group, such as factory sounds, expansion packs, or your own projects. Each sound
can be assigned to one Collection. Click on a Collection name to filter by that Collection; click on the “X” to de-select
all Collections.
