13 Appendix A – How to Work with Attributes
This chapter will provide several examples on how to search for sounds and effects with the
sound Browser. You'll learn the meaning and the definitions of the supplied Attributes, as well
as the logic behind their arrangement. We will discuss how to search for specific sounds or
effects effectively, and how to supply Attributes for your own sounds and effects. A detailed
explanation of all Attributes can be found in Appendix B.
Note that you can search for both instruments and effects since the approach is the same.
The following explanations will focus on instruments only.
First, switch to the Browser Window and activate the Database View by activating the Sounds
button. Then click on the Instruments button at the top of the Browser.
The Browser is arranged in five columns. Your search should begin with the leftmost column
and then filter the results as you move toward the rightmost column. Some columns have in-
ternal groupings, so work with a left to right/top to bottom protocol when searching for sounds.
