CHAPTER TWO

Starting to use Guru: the Browser

The Browser is a very important part of Guru, as it is central
to getting sounds into it! You will see 4 tabs in the Browser:
Patterns, Kits, Hit and Loops. Before we examine them, it’s
essential to explain how the Browser works, and to explain its
preview functionality.

2:1 Operating the Browser

The Guru browser is a dual-pane browser: the left pane is for
folders, and the right pane is for files – Loops, Hits, Kits and
Patterns. You can make either pane wider by clicking and drag-
ging the button at the bottom of the divider.

It’s very easy to navigate around drives and folders… simply
click on any folder or drive name to explore it. When you are
in a folder, the parent drive/folder will appear at the top of the
folder list, with the icon to its left. Again, simply click on the
name to go up a folder level.
