8.1.2. Loops and One-shots
The Browser divides samples into Loops and One-Shots. One-shots are typically sampled instru-
ments or vocals, while loops are usually sections of music. Both filetypes can come from existing
expansion packs and sounds.com.
When a Loop is selected in the Browser with Prehear turned on, it will begin playing immediately
in-sync with the host if transport is running. If a Loop preview begins part-way through, the Loop
will play once more in full length to ensure you hear the entire Loop in context with your project.
Loops and One-shots can also be dragged directly from the Browser and dropped onto an audio
track within your host DAW.
8.1.3. About the Library and Meta-Information
To organize, find, keep track of, and provide you thousands of Preset files at any time ready for
loading, KOMPLETE KONTROL makes use of a
Library
. The Library contains the factory content
of your KOMPLETE Instruments, Loops, and One-shots, NKS Instruments, Effects, as well as your
own user content.
Tags
To help you find the right Preset file quickly and efficiently, the Library implements various techni-
ques that go far beyond the classic folder structure of your operating system—the usage of tags.
For example, each Preset file included in the Library contains tags which describe the Preset file
according to following aspects:
• The
content type
of the Preset file, i.e. whether it originates from a Product’s factory library or
if it was created by a user.
• The
Product
where the Preset file come from—this can include, e.g., a hierarchical structure
with a Product category, a particular Product, and possibly a Bank of a Product.
• A variable amount of
tags
used to describe various characteristics of the Preset file, for exam-
ple, the type of effect, the sonic character, the context in which it is used—in a word, anything
that might help you find the file.
Included Preset Files in the Library
The Preset files included in the Library are all KOMPLETE KONTROL-relevant files found in the
folders whose paths are listed in the
Library
page of the
Preferences
panel.
You can also save the sounds you created in KOMPLETE KONTROL to the User content section
of the
Library pane
.
8.1.4. Browsing the Library vs. Browsing Your Hard Disks
Besides of browsing KOMPLETE KONTROL Library the Browser also allows you to navigate your
file system in a classic way. For each way the Browser provides a single pane with its own tools:
• The
Library
pane allows you to browse the KOMPLETE KONTROL Library. This is the prefer-
red way to search for files meeting particular musical requirements. This pane also allows you
to tag your own Preset files to your liking.
