QuickSound
Search Mode
Any time you perform a search in QuickSound, two things need to happen which the
user must control. First is to select and highlight the local sampler, a drive, or a folder.
The second thing you must do is to type in a search keyword or choose a default file
extension from the drop-down list of the QuickSound search field. The manner in which
the resulting search is performed and displayed depends on these user defined set-
tings.
In the Search Mode settings, you can choose between Recursive or Local modes for
any searches performed in the QuickSound search field. Recursive mode will include all
tree-level drives, folders and file names that are within the top branch selected in the
QuickSound window.
Search Properties
Select Auto Complete Existing Criteria for searches that involve .gig, *.gig, etc. This fa-
cilitates searches for known file types quickly.
Select the Restore to Last Search on StartUp option to display the last search you per-
formed during your last session with GigaStudio the next time you start the program.
Results Properties
To view all the instruments within the .gig files without having to manually expand
each view select the Automatically Expand Gigs to show Instruments option.
Select the Show Keyword Hit Report option to display the result of the number of
keyword results in a search. An example for searching with the keyword “piano” might
have “<PIANO> 7 files under selected directory” displayed above the search field.
Result Window’s Reset Configuration
