The Browser

The Browser is a powerful feature that allows quick navigation of virtual instruments, effects,
and a variety of file types on your computer, including audio and musical-data files. The
Browser works somewhat like Windows Explorer or Mac OS X Finder, in that it allows you to
navigate file directories on your computer in specific ways. Audio and musical-data files, as
well as virtual instruments and plug-in effects, can be dragged from the Browser directly into
your Song or Project.

The Browser Tabs and Search

The Browser is divided into five tabs that organize your content into Instruments, Effects,
Sounds, Files, and the Pool. A Home tab gives access to all tabs. All native and third-party
virtual instruments and effects will appear in the Instruments and Effects tabs. All Studio One
Sound Set content will appear in the Sounds tab. The Files tab gives you direct access to your
computer's file system, and the Pool allows quick access to all files associated with the current
Song.
It is possible to search within any tab and within any location a tab may contain. Clicking on
the Search icon at the top right of the Browser will open a search text field and will show the
location being searched. Typing text into the search field will immediately begin the search,
and only results matching the search text will be displayed in the Browser.
Once search results are populated, the found content can be used directly. You can also
[Right]/ [Control]-click on any search result and choose Show in Context or Show in
Explorer/Finder in order to quickly access content in the same location.
