Assignments

The Assignments column displays a list of Tags that can be added to an Attribute Type. These are typically descriptive words or labels, and will change depending on the Attribute Type selected.

When you add an Assignment to a sound, it will be added to the selected Attribute Type, and can be used to locate the sound using the Browser Filters or Search. You can add multiple Assignments to any Attribute Type.

Adding Assignments

• To add Assignments to an Attribute Type, first select it in the Attribute Types column. A list of Assignments related to that Attribute Type will appear in the Assignments list.
• Select an Assignment to add it to the current Attribute Type. When you add an Assignment, it will be highlighted and will appear in the Overview area. You can add any number of Assignments for a given Attribute Type.

NOTE: If you have created a custom Attribute Type, it will have no preset Assignments at first. At minimum, you will need to create one Assignment and add it to a sound, otherwise the Attribute Type will not be saved.

Removing Assignments

1. To remove an Assignment from an Attribute Type, first select it in the Attribute Type column. The list of related Assignments will appear in the Assignments list, and any Assignments that have been added to that Attribute Type will be highlighted.
2. Select a highlighted Assignment to remove it from the Attribute Type, and it will no longer appear in the Attribute Types Overview.

*The “RESET ALL” button in the Overview area will clear all Assignments for all Attribute Types. If this button was selected accidentally, the RESET can be undone by immediately pressing the CANCEL button on the Edit Tags screen.

Creating Custom Assignments

1. To create custom Assignments, you must first select an existing Attribute Type or create a custom one. Assignments can be created for both custom and factory Attribute Types.
2. After an Attribute Type has been selected or created, select the “+” button to create a new Assignment for that Attribute Type. Enter a name for the Assignment into the text field, and press Enter/Return on your keyboard. The new Assignment will be created and automatically added to the Attribute Type.
3. To create additional Assignments, press the “+” button again and repeat the process until all the desired Assignments have been created and added.

NOTE: If a custom Assignment has been created but is not added to a sound, it will automatically be deleted after exiting the Edit Tags pane.

Assignments View

These switches determine how Assignments are viewed and sorted on the Edit Tags page.

MORE

Selecting this option hides the Overview area so that more Assignments can be displayed at a time.

CATEGORY

Selecting this option will highlight all of the Assignments for the selected Attributes that have been used in the CATEGORY in which the loaded sound resides. The Assignments in the Attribute columns used for Omnisphere sounds will be highlighted in blue, and the ones used on third-party libraries or User sounds will be highlighted in orange.

SORT

The SORT function groups all Attribute Assignments that are in the same CATEGORY as the currently loaded sound. The Assignments used in Omnisphere’s sounds will be grouped at the top of the list, followed by the ones used by third-party or User sounds. The remaining unassigned Attributes are displayed below and are sorted alphabetically.
