â–ª Now imagine that you have loaded an acoustic shaker Sample and want to find a Sample
for another drum instrument, e.g., a tom: You leave the Drums tag selected at the top level
of the TYPES filter and directly go to the second level, where you select Tom instead of
Shaker. As you select Tom, the whole set of Sub-Types underneath (third level) will be re-
placed with the Sub-Types of the Tom tag. However, insofar as possible your previous se-
lection will be retained: In our example, both the Shaker and Tom tags have an Acoustic
tag below them; since you had selected the Acoustic tag below the Shaker tag, the Acous-
tic tag below the Tom tag will be automatically selected as well.
This allows you to quickly find various Samples (even for different instruments) with similar
characteristics — here, an acoustic sound.
Tags for Instrument and Effect Presets: 2 Type Levels and 1 Mode Level
For Instrument and Effect presets, tags can be of two kinds: Type or Mode. You can select
them via the TYPES and MODES filter, respectively:
â–ª The TYPES filter works as described above for all other file types, except that only two hier-
archical levels are available. See above for a detailed description.
â–ª The MODES filter provides an additional level that is independent from the Type levels:
â—¦ In general, Mode tags will rather refer to technical terms (e.g., Arpeggiated, Percus-
sive, Synthetic, etc.).
â—¦ The MODES filter is always displayed. You can start your search with the MODES filter
before (or even without) using the TYPES filter.
â—¦ However, the list of tags available in the MODES filter will vary depending on the tags
selected in the TYPES filter. If no file contains both the Type and Mode tags that you
have selected, the Type tags will prevail and the Mode tags will be deselected.
