programs, such as a plain text editor (no rich text
editor since that one understands drag & drop of
files), e.g. TextEdit [Mac] or Notepad [Windows].

File Browser

The File Browser shows file and folder (directory)
hierarchies of certain folders in a tree view similar to the
Finder [Mac] or Explorer [Windows]. It allows to quickly
access or manage files of all known file types on disk.
Managing includes restructuring, duplicating, removing,
importing and exporting among other functions. Only
known file types are presented, files that Largo doesn't
understand are not added to the tree.

Its view differs from the Explorer tree view [Windows] in
that it displays folders and files both in the same structure.
This allows to view or select files in different folders at
once which wouldn't be possible with a split view, which
would only show the files of one single folder.

The File Browser shows at least the content of the default
Largo Program locations on disk. They are called Local
Library (accessible for all users of the particular computer)
and User Library (accessible only for the current user)
respectively and are located in the following locations
(note that folder names might be localized or personalized

on your operating system version. Those folder names
appear in [brackets]):

Local Library: /Library/Audio/Presets/Waldorf/Largo/

User Library: [User home directory]/Library/ Audio/

Please note that we have changed the location of the
Largo factory sounds. They are installed in the Local
Library folder as written below. If you like, you can
overwrite these sounds with your existing sound
library in the Windows Explorer.

Local Library: [Largo installation path]\Waldorf\Largo
Sounds

User Library: [Documents And Settings]\[User home
directory]\[Application Data]\Waldorf\Largo\

Further folders can be added and removed at will but we
strongly recommend to not add an entire hard disk or
other huge folder structure since scanning those might
take a very long time and if the number of found items is
huge, Largo might behave unpredictable.
