The Librarian - E-Mu ProteusX Operation Manual

The Librarian

As your sample library grows so does the problem of managing all your banks, presets
and samples. As you've probably already discovered, a single bank can contain literally
thousands of individual samples.
The Library is accessed by clicking the Library tab at the bottom of the Tree. To use the
librarian, you first "Update" from the File menu. This creates a searchable database of all
your samples, presets, banks and audio files which can be quickly searched. Audio files
can be either WAVE or AIFF.
You can select which drives you wish to add to the catalog or manually "Add Locations"
to narrow down the selection range to speed the update process. The Add Location
button also allows you to specify network drives to catalog. Only the selected targets are
overwritten with new data when the update process is performed. Unselected targets
remain as they were. The "Clear Library" button erases the entire library so you can start
from scratch.
