Once you have filled all the desired/required fields:
SAVE AS
: Will save the current preset in the chosen Bank, with its new (or unchanged) Name,
tagged with all the fields you filled.
MOVE TO
: Allows saving the current preset in another location. This is handy to gather a lot of
preset into a single location, or User Bank, which you can export in a single file containing all the
presets you created or edited for a given project.
CANCEL
: Will just cancel all operations and return to the standard PolyKB GUI.
6.3 Sort menus
The sorting menus are a powerful and unique tool. Which will allow you to perform such
sophisticated tasks as displaying in the preset list one of the following selections:
•
All the Basses of your Sound Library
•
All the Basses tagged with a given musical genre
•
All the Pads made by a given Sound Designers
•
All instruments for a musical genre like Electronica, or Funk
•
All instruments that were recently imported in a bank (like additional sound-sets from Xils-Lab
or 3
rd
party vendors)
There are indeed a lot of possibilities, and we’re confident that you’ll find the best way to customize
it to your personal needs.
In order to perform such selections, all you have to do is to select an item in the first sort menu. This
represents the first and main criteria for the search engine.
•
Author (Your
name, or a Sound Designer name for factory presets
)
,
•
Type (Category
of the instrument like Keys, Leads, Basses, etc)
•
Style
(Musical Genre
)
,
•
Feeling
(Cold, warm, soft) and finally
•
Project
(My Song, My_Live_Project).
•
ALL
(this item is not used for sorting the preset)
Then these primary results can be filtered according to a second criteria, which you can choose in a
similar list in the second sort menu.
Sometimes a picture is better than a lot of text, so you’ll find below an example where you can find
out how to select all the basses designed by a given Sound Designer.
