File Tree View - Native Instruments Absynth 5 Reference Manual

11.2.2 File Tree View

Deactivating the Sounds button with a mouse click brings the File Tree View into view. In
this view, some of the elements within the Control Bar will fade. In place of the columns of
attributes a common file tree is displayed, showing all the folders and drives on your com-
puter. You can adjust the layout in File Tree View by dragging the small handle on the frame
between the windows to either side.

The File Tree View is pretty straightforward; it is similar to the way you work with files in
the operating system itself. You can select a folder by clicking its name; any KORE SOUND
files contained within it are immediately displayed within the Search Result List. If a folder
contains sub-folders, you can make them visible by clicking on the folder icon in front of the
folder's name. The list of sub-folders is closed again by clicking the folder icon once more.
When all folders are closed there are three main entries here:
•
At the top we find the Explorer entry. It contains your operating system's folder structure
as sub-levels. This is particularly useful if you want to open a KORE SOUND file that is
not within your library folders.
•
In the middle we find My Favorites. It does not contain KORE SOUNDS itself; instead it
contains links to KORE SOUND files elsewhere on your computer.
•
Finally, there is My Sounds, which links to the user content folder on your hard drive. It
reflects that directory's sub-folder structure; its handling is similar to that of the Explorer
entry. The My Sounds entry contains all the original sounds that you have saved from
previous sessions with ABSYNTH.
