As you can see at first sight there are almost no differences between the

Sample Browser

and the

Preset Browser

and it is also true when

it comes to their functionality. These browsers have the same components which operate exactly in the same manner, e.x.:

Content

to select the browsed (

User

Factory

) resources. There are also

Filters

based on the

Category

and

Tag

system like the presets. And the

Results

displaying the

Samples

(similarly to

Presets

in the

Preset Browser

) from the selected

Resources

that meet the criteria specified

Filters

. Thus, this chapter presents only the functions that differentiate the

Sample Browser

from the

Preset Browser

Auto-Play

Auto-play

allows you to play the browsed samples to listen to them before confirming their loading with

Autoplay button in the Preset Browser

Press

Autoplay

(the button operating in the toggle mode) to enable/disable this function. What’s more, when this function is enabled

you can use the slider on the right side to control the played sample volume.

User samples Import

When the

Edit Mode

of the

Sample Browser

is active you can import the external samples to the user resources from wave files

with the

Import Samples

button displayed at the bottom of the

Sample Browser
