6: Search
Type into this eld to lter the list by searching for text in any of the metadata elds. Click on the “X” to clear the eld.
7: Categories
Categories let you lter by the type of sound, such as basses, leads, bells, etc. Each sound can be assigned to two
Categories, and each data type—Performances, Programs, etc.—has its own list of Categories. Click on a Category
name to lter by that Category; click on the “X” to deselect all Categories.
When searching by Category, a sound will be shown if either of its Categories match the search criteria.
8: Collections
Categories let you lter sounds by group, such as factory sounds, expansion packs, or your own projects. Each sound
can be assigned to one Collection. Click on a Collection name to lter by that Collection; click on the “X” to deselect all
Collections.
Saving Sounds
e Performance, with its four Layers, is the main way of selecting, editing, and saving sounds. While you can save
Programs, Wave Sequences, and Wave Sequence Lane Presets, you don’t have to do so: all data is contained in the
Performance.
Similarly, when you load any of these data types into a Performance, a new copy of the data is created in the
Performance. Any edits aect only the local copy inside the Performance, and not the original data. is lets you edit
freely without worrying about aecting other sounds.
To save:
1. Press the Save icon, or right-click/control-click (macOS) on the name and select the Save or Save As New com-
mand in the contextual menu.
To overwrite the existing sound, use Save. To make a new copy and leave the existing sound unchanged, use Save As
New. Factory sounds may be write-protected, in which case only “Save As New” is available.
Important: changing the name does not automatically make a new copy of the sound! Always use Save As
New when you want to make a copy.
Renaming sounds
As described above, Performances store all of the data for their Programs, Wave Sequences, Wave Sequence Lanes, and
Eects Presets. is also includes the names of those elements. Because of this, you can rename any of these elements
without saving them separately, as long as you then save the enclosing Performance. To do so:
Right-click/control-click (macOS) on the name and select the Rename… command in the contextual menu.
2. Select Rename.
3. Enter the new name, and press OK to conrm.
Names can be up to 24 characters long.
4. Make sure to save the Performance once you’re done.
