Tags for Instrument and Effect Presets: 2 Type Levels and 1 Mode Level
For Instrument and Effect presets, tags can be of two kinds: Type or Mode. You can select
them via the TYPES and MODES filter, respectively:
▪
The TYPES filter works as described above for all other file types, except that only two hier-
archical levels are available. See above for a detailed description.
▪
The MODES filter provides an additional level that is independent from the Type levels:
◦
In general, Mode tags will rather refer to technical terms (e.g., Arpeggiated , Percus-
sive , Synthetic , etc.).
◦
The MODES filter is always displayed. You can start your search with the MODES filter
before (or even without) using the TYPES filter.
◦
However, the list of tags available in the MODES filter will vary depending on the tags
selected in the TYPES filter. If no file contains both the Type and Mode tags that you
have selected, the Type tags will prevail and the Mode tags will be deselected.
If you don’t select any tag in the TYPES or the MODES filter, the Result list will include
all files satisfying any of their tags.
Selecting Multiple Tags from the Same Level
In both TYPES and MODES filter you can select multiple tags from the same level:
►
Hold [Shift] on your computer keyboard and click two tags at a particular level to select
these tags and all tags in-between.
►
Hold [Ctrl] ([Cmd] on macOS) on your computer keyboard and click any number of tags at
a particular level to select these particular tags.
→
The Result list will include all files satisfying at least one of the selected tags.
Opening and Collapsing the Attributes Sections
The Attributes sections ( TYPES and MODES ) in the Browser Library can be collapsed to make
more room for the results list on smaller display resolutions.
