SOUNDS, DEVICES AND PATCHES

There are basically two instances where selecting several files in the Browser file list

is relevant:

D It is possible to load several samples simultaneously into the NN-XT and

NN19 sampler devices.

See the NN19 and NN-XT chapters for details.

D You can select several files to add them to a Favorites list in one go - see

page 40.

! In cases where several selected files (e.g. patches or songs) cannot be

loaded, the OK button in the Browser is grayed out.

Cross-browsing patch files

Cross-browsing patches is a powerful feature of the Patch Browser. It allows you to

browse for any type of patch (instrument or effect - see below), regardless of which

device you opened the Browser from.

About instrument and effect patches

Patches are internally divided into two patch categories in the Browser; instrument

patches and effect patches (the Browser “knows” what type of patch it is).

This is because instrument patches and effect patches are fundamentally different -

instruments are played, and effects are used to process sound - and you would logi-

cally browse for one or the other, but not both.

When browsing patches from an existing instrument device, the options on the Show

menu are:

• “XXX Patches” (where XXX is the device type you opened the Browser from, e.g.

NN-XT).

• “All Instruments” will show patches for any instrument device.

When browsing patches from an existing effect device, the options on the menu are:

• “XXX Patches” (where XXX is the device type you opened the Browser from, e.g.

RV7000).

• “All Effects” will show patches for any effect device that uses patches, including

Combi patches.

Cross-browsing - an example:

1. You are playing a Subtractor device but feel that the sound isn’t quite what

you had in mind, so you open the Browser to check out some other patches.

2. After browsing Subtractor patches for a while, you still haven’t found the type

of sound you wanted, so you click the “Show” pop-up and select “All Instru-

ments” from the menu.

Now you can select instrument patches for any device. You decide to browse a

folder containing Malström patches. You can use the Previous/Next buttons to

step through the files in the selected folder.

3. As soon as you select a Malström patch in the Browser, a Malström device

replaces the Subtractor in the background (the Browser is still open).

The sequencer track which was previously connected to the Subtractor is now

connected to a Malström with the patch selected in the Browser loaded.

D Note that the name of the sequencer track is not automatically changed

to reflect the new device.

This may or may not matter. If the track was named “Bass” (and it is a bass sound

you are looking for), this obviously works fine. But if the track was named “Subtrac-

tor 1” and you end up with another device connected, it might be better to rename

the track to avoid confusion.

4. You can continue to browse patches and play your keyboard to audition

them.

Each time you select a patch type belonging to a different device, a corresponding

instrument device is created in the background, replacing the previous instrument.

5. When you have settled on a patch - for whatever instrument device - click OK

to confirm the selection and close the dialog.

Clicking Cancel will return to the same state as when opening the Browser.

D If you use cross-browsing for an effect patch it works in the same way -

selecting an effect patch of a different format will replace the current ef-

fect in the background with a device of the selected format.

Special instances of cross-browsing

There are a few instances when replacing an existing device by browsing might lead

to lost connections:

D When a device is replaced by another device type, audio connections

may be lost.

An example is replacing an NN-XT (which can use up to 16 outputs) with a Sub-

tractor (which only has one output).

D When a device is replaced by another device type, CV connections on the

back panel may be lost.

The only connections that are retained between device types are Sequencer Con-

trol CV/Gate in.

! If you encounter such situations and you want to restore the original con-

nections, use the “Undo” function. Browsing back to the original device

patch will not restore lost connections.
