New Set List
is creates a new Set List, with all Slots set to the Init Performance. It is available from the Librarian when showing
either All Data or Set Lists.
Open Set List Editor
When a Set List is selected, this opens a Set List window for that Set List. If multiple Set Lists are selected, it opens
widows for each of them.
Make Active
When a Performance is selected in the list, this selects the item for playing. (Double-clicking has the same eect.)
When a Set List is selected in the list, this activates that Set List and changes the Set List parameter in the Settings
dialog.
Import and export
wavestate native reads and writes the same le formats as the hardware wavestate’s Editor/Librarian (except for
.wsbackup les), so that sounds are fully compatible between the two. e Import and Export commands let you:
• Load new sounds
• Transfer data between wavestate native and the hardware wavestate, or from one installation of wavestate native to
another
• Back up and restore data
Importing data
To import data into wavestate native:
1. In the menu, select the Import… command.
A standard le open dialog will appear.
2. Select the le(s) to import.
You can select and import multiple les at once.
3. Press the Open button.
e data in the le(s) will be imported into the database. A message will appear to conrm the import, including
information about which les have been added.
Data conicts
If some of the imported data appears to be dierent or updated versions of the internal data, a dialog will appear with
the text:
“A dierent or changed item already exists in the database for <item name>”
e dialog oers several options:
Cancel: the item will not be imported.
Overwrite: the item will be imported, replacing the version in the wavestate native database.
Make Unique: the item will be imported, and its UUID (see “UUIDs” on page79) will be changed so that it does not
conict with the version already in the wavestate native.
Apply to All: the choice of Cancel, Overwrite, and Make Unique will be applied to all conicting les in the Import.
If a Set List is imported, and some of its constituent Performances were made unique, then the Set List is edited to point
to the new Performances.
UUIDs
wavestate native uses a database to keep sounds organized. Internally, sounds are identied not by their names, but
rather by a unique tag attached to the le, called a UUID (“Universally Unique Identier”). is means that even if a
sound’s name has been changed, the system still knows it’s the same sound.
When you write a sound, “Overwrite” keeps the UUID the same, and “Save As New” creates a new UUID.
When you import data, the UUIDs in the sounds to be imported are compared with those already in the database. If
a sound has the same UUID, but its contents are dierent, you’ll see the dialog described under “Data conicts” on
page79.
