This function activates the File Browser floating window. The File Browser
gives a very good overview of all Patches and Performances currently stored
in the internal memory of the connected synth, as well as of Patches and Per-
formances stored on the computer. The Patch and Perf tabs of the File Brows-
er are automatically updated as soon as you perform any of the operations
described below, even if they are done from the synth’s front panel. The File
Browser can be used to save and load Patches and Performances both from
disk and the internal memory of the synth.
There are three tabs in the File Browser window:

chy. Click the “arrow up” button to the upper right corner to step up one lev-
el in the hierarchy. Click the refresh (double arrows) button to rescan disks

Double-click on a Patch or Performance file to automatically load the Patch/Performance to the active

pressing Enter.

By right-clicking on a Patch in the Disk tab you can choose to either load the selected Patch to any of the
Slots of the connected synth and open the Patch in the Editor Patch window, or to save the selected Patch
