Tags
To help you find the right Preset file quickly and efficiently, the Library implements various
techniques that go far beyond the classic folder structure of your operating system—the usage
of tags. For example, each Preset file included in the Library contains tags which describe the
Preset file according to following aspects:
▪ The content type of the Preset file, i.e. whether it originates from a Product’s factory library
or if it was created by a user.
▪ The Product where the Preset file come from—this can include, e.g., a hierarchical struc-
ture with a Product category, a particular Product, and possibly a Bank of a Product.
▪ A variable amount of tags used to describe various characteristics of the Preset file, for ex-
ample, the type of effect, the sonic character, the context in which it is used—in a word,
anything that might help you find the file.
Included Preset Files in the Library
The Preset files included in the Library are all KOMPLETE KONTROL-relevant files found in
the folders whose paths are listed in the
Library page of the Preferences panel.
You can also save the sounds you created in KOMPLETE KONTROL to the User content sec-
tion of the
Library pane .
11.1.3 Browsing the Library vs. Browsing Your Hard Disks
Besides of browsing KOMPLETE KONTROL Library the Browser also allows you to navigate
your file system in a classic way. For each way the Browser provides a single pane with its own
tools:
▪ The Library pane allows you to browse the KOMPLETE KONTROL Library. This is the pre-
ferred way to search for files meeting particular musical requirements. This pane also al-
lows you to tag your own Preset files to your liking.
▪ The Files pane allows you to browse your hard disks by using the hierarchical folder struc-
ture of your operating system. For example, you can use it to navigate KOMPLETE KON-
TROL-relevant files that have not been imported into the KOMPLETE KONTROL Library—
and you can import them from there!
