SOUNDS, DEVICES AND PATCHES

Using the Browser
The Browser is a special file dialog that appears when you open songs or load
patches, samples, MIDI or REX files, from within a ReFill or from regular file folders.
Apart from standard file folder browsing, the browser dialog offers you several useful
functions:
D Search for files by name and/or type - see page 39.
D Use “cross-browsing” to search for patches belonging to any type of de-
vice.
For example, you open the browser from a Subtractor device to browse for a suit-
able patch. But instead of limiting the Browser to show only Subtractor patches,
you can chose to browse for any type of instrument patch. If you select a patch
with a different format than the device you “started” browsing from, the original de-
vice will be replaced by the new device. See page 38.
D Create Favorite Lists containing shortcuts to your Favorite files for in-
stant access.
See page 40.
D Audition instrument patches, audio samples and loops on the fly.
D Save shortcuts to various locations on your local drive(s).
See page 37.
Soundfont Bank .sf2 The Soundfont format was co-developed by E-mu
Systems and Creative Technologies and is used
with many audio cards and software synthesizers.
SoundFont banks store wavetable synthesized
sounds, allowing users to create and edit multi-
sampled sounds in special Soundfont editing
programs. The Soundfonts can then be played
back in wavetable synthesizers, typically on audio
cards, thereby effectively turning an ordinary
sound card into a sampler.
The NN-XT and NN19 Samplers and the Redrum
drum machine allow you to browse and load
Soundfonts. Regardless of which editing pro-
gram was used to create them, these banks are
similarly and hierarchically organized, with folders
for instruments, presets, samples etc. The NN-XT,
NN19 and the Redrum lets you load individual
samples and presets from a Soundfont bank, but
not the complete Soundfont.
