Instrument Manager™'s features can be broken down into four different areas.
Organization
List your Instruments and Samples of any format; search and display small or large subsets of entries, attach properties to these entries for easy recognition and information value.
Management
Fix Sample References in Instruments, update Sample Parameters, or reassign new samples.
Operations
Drag Instruments or Samples off the interface and onto external areas, such as external Samplers, the Finder/Explorer, or DAW "bins" - anything that takes an external file drag.
Compilation
Create custom Banks, such as Giga files, SoundFonts, or any other "Bank" format from single Presets. Read and write from Proprietary disks (Akai, Roland, etc.)
The principal interface for Instrument Manager™ is the Main Screen.
Each Main Screen hooks into a database. There can be multiple databases created, and several databases can be open at one time.
You can add, delete, and edit entries in the database. You can add entries (Banks, Instruments, or Samples) by dragging them onto the Main Screen, or by adding them using the menu or popup menu operations. You can operate (add, delete, edit) entries one at a time or in bulk.
You can view entries via the large list on the Main Screen. You can customize the columns to see what you want to view. Each entry shows you it's inherent properties, along with some parameters you set yourself, like Category, Genre, Keywords. Entries can be assigned a picture, a movie, and/or a demonstration sound. |
