Librarian contextual menu
Right-click or control-click (macOS) on an item to bring up the contextual menu. Menu commands are still available
when multiple items are selected in the list.
Export…
Exports the selected items to individual files on disk. For more information, see “Exporting data” on page 89.
Export Bundle…
This command is available if multiple items are selected. It exports all the selected items to a single file on disk. Use this
for distributing a set of sounds, for example.
Duplicate
This duplicates the selected item.
Delete
This removes the selected data. When used with Set List Slots, the Slots are changed to use the Init Performance.
New Set List
This creates a new Set List, with all Slots set to the Init Performance. It is available from the Librarian when showing
either All Data or Set Lists.
Open Set List Editor
When a Set List is selected, this opens a Set List window for that Set List. If multiple Set Lists are selected, it opens
widows for each of them.
Make Active
When a Performance is selected in the list, this selects the item for playing. (Double-clicking has the same effect.)
When a Set List is selected in the list, this activates that Set List and changes the Set List parameter in the Settings
dialog.
Import and export
modwave native reads and writes the same file formats as the hardware modwave’s Editor/Librarian (except for
.mwbackup files), so that sounds are fully compatible between the two. The Import and Export commands let you:
• Load new sounds
• Transfer data between modwave native and the hardware modwave, or from one installation of modwave native to
another
• Back up and restore data
Importing data
To import data into modwave native:
1. In the menu, select the Import… command.
A standard file open dialog will appear.
2. Select the file(s) to import.
You can select and import multiple files at once.
3. Press the Open button.
The data in the file(s) will be imported into the database. A message will appear to confirm the import, including
information about which files have been added.
Data conflicts
If some of the imported data appears to be different or updated versions of the internal data, a dialog will appear with
the text:
“A different or changed item already exists in the database for <item name>”
The dialog offers several options:
