The Browser lets you navigate your Force hardware's internal and external hard disks to load samples, clips,
songs, etc. Using filter buttons and user-definable folders, you can easily adapt it to your preferred workflow.
You can also audition (preview) your samples before loading them.
Important: You can install an additional SATA drive in your Force hardware, allowing for even more storage
space. See
Appendix > SATA Drive Installation
Important: Force supports read and write capability for exFAT, FAT32, NTFS, and EXT4 file systems as well
as read-only capability for HFS+ file systems. We recommend using an exFAT file system as it is the most
robust one supported by both Windows and macOS.
