Synclavier Regen User Manual  

50

copied across, since it’s likely that the reason for saving 
this new timbre is that its properties have changed and 
the  old  description  will  be  invalid.  But  if  you  save  the 
same  timbre  to  the  same  slot  —  say  you’ve  been 
working on it a while and have updates to it — the info 
will  be  preserved  and  a  version  number  will  not  be 
appended.

With a USB keyboard attached, you can now change the 

title and optionally choose to add a description; type tab 
or  tap 

Edit  Info

.  Then  tap  the 

Save

  option  and  your 

timbre will be saved on your SD card. 

Regen will create the necessary directory structure on the SD card as it needs to:

SD Card:/

/Libraries
/Reverbs
/Sessions

 So in the case of saving a new timbre in a new library, you would get a directory 
structure, 

Libraries/User Library 1/New Timbre 1

, for instance.

 You can have one reverb library per SD card and one session library, and on 

your  SD  card  they  will  be  created  as 

Reverbs/

  and 

Sessions/

  top-level 

directories.  Samples  cannot  be  saved,  but  you  can  place  your  own  samples 
anywhere in the 

Libraries/

 structure and Regen will find them for you.

The procedure described above for saving timbres is the same for reverbs.
You  can  perform  file-management  on  a  computer  with  the  contents  directly, 

such as renaming libraries and deleting or backing-up timbres and libraries. You 
can  customize  the  presentation  of  your  libraries  with  a  cover  image  and 
presentation  by  adding 

CDImage.png

  and 

Description.txt

  to  a  library’s  folder. 

Both  files  are  case-sensitive. 

CDImage.png

  expects  an  aspect  ratio  of  1:1  and 

Description.txt

 has a 220 character limit.
