Left panel

All OASYS PCI Programs, Patches, Effects, Multisamples, and Samples are stored 
inside the OASYS PCI folder. Within the main OASYS PCI folder are folders for 
sound libraries, such as the Korg factory sounds and optional sound packages 
from Korg and third parties, or user projects, such as “TV Series Third Season 
Cues.”
The left-most panel shows these library and project folders.
