BROWSER – Header

 

 

TheThe Browser Header contains the Browser Title and a Memory Meter, controls that let you apply filtering options using the Directory Menu and Search Field, buttons that allow selection between the two browsing modes (Attributes or File Directory), and a Preview Load button that toggles between loading methods; Preview Load and Auto Load (the default behavior when Preview Load button is disabled).
In addition, the Lite Version Button and Lite Version Zoom Icon provide options for memory management and sample thinning.

 

NOTE: The Soundsource Browser does not contain the Lite Version Button or Lite Version Zoom Button.

 

Memory Meter

The Memory Meter is a gauge that shows how much Virtual Memory the instance of the plug-in is using.

If the Memory Meter approaches full, you will see a popup warning, and may need to take steps to reduce memory usage, such as enable the Lite Version of Patches, or reduce the Pre Load Memory parameter on the System Page.

The circular meter is a smaller version of the linear meters that are found on the System Page and the Lite Version Zoom Page in the Patch and Multi Browsers.

 
NOTE: If you set a Memory Limit on the System Page, this gauge will show the amount of memory used relative to the selected limit. For example, if you set the limit to .5Gb, and load .4Gb of sample data, the gauge will show roughly 80% full, even if you have far more system memory available.

 

NOTE (Mac only): If you have selected Sample File Server using the System Page Streaming Mode settings, the Meter will not display memory usage.
