FXpansion GURU - Manual (Page 19)

If you are in a certain location in one Browser tab, you can
make any other tab go to the same location, by clicking the
other tab while holding down [SHIFT].
Favourites
The Guru browser has a useful Favourites function for folder
locations. When in any folder/drive, simply click the Add Fa-
vourite button to set up a Favourite – you will be prompted to
name it. The Show Favourites button toggles the left pane of
the Browser between a list of Favourites and the normal folder
browser display. You can click on a Favourite while holding
down [SHIFT] in order to remove it from the Favourites list.
Browsing and Preview tools:
Auto mode
You will notice that all tabs of the Browser have the Auto but-
ton. Auto mode allows ‘preview in context’: the elements which
are selected in the Browser play in place of the elements you
are replacing which are already loaded into Guru, while unaf-
fected parts play as normal. Thus you can hear what the file
you’re thinking of loading onto Pad(s), Pattern(s) or an Engine
will sound like within the context of your current Guru song.
When the Auto button is activated in any tab of the Browser,
any of the browsable elements within it can be auditioned in
context before loading them. If Guru is not playing when you
click on a previewable file, it will start playing
1 , and you will be
able to hear the new element in context. You can then click the
button in order to load it, or preview another.
Preview tools
• Play/Stop control
When no elements are being previewed, the play/
stop control will show a ‘play’ icon.
When a file is being previewed, the control becomes
a clickable ‘stop’ icon. If it is clicked, the preview will
be cancelled and no file will be loaded.
• Other controls
This button appears while previewing. Click it to load
the currently previewed file.
Use these buttons in order to browse through the
contents of the current folder, sequentially.
1 This behaviour is controlled
by the ‘Auto-play if Auto-pre-
viewing in Browser option in
the GURU Options panel. If
the option is disabled, you will
need to hit play on Guru before
using Auto mode. Guru will not
start playing automatically. The
descriptions in this manual
assume that the option is ena-
bled.
