Assuming now that you are familiar with searching for a sound in the Browser’s Database View (as described in the previous section), the following explanations should be easy to follow.
You access the
Attributes View by clicking the
Attributes button in the
Navigation Bar. Its layout is similar to the Browser’s Database View, but while you load KoreSounds from the
Browser View, within the
Attributes View you
save them. Therefore, the Search Results are not needed and are replaced by the
Meta Information.
The
Meta Information provides additional text fields to enter information about the sound to be saved:
• Author: the Author of a KoreSound. Fill in your name for your own KoreSounds. This field is automatically filled with a default author name, if one has been entered in the
Options Dialog.
• Company: the commercial vendor of the KoreSound, if there is one.
• Bankname: the bank the sound is derived from.
• Color: associates a color with the KoreSound. This information is used if the sound is loaded into KORE.
• Rating: allows you to assign a rating to the sound for future reference.MASSIVE – 93
• Comment: this field can hold any information you want. Often it is used to describe a KoreSound in terms of its possible usage, and also to note any special interactive features of the KoreSound, e.g. “MIDI modulation wheel controls master cutoff.”
• Number of Inputs: Specifies the number of inputs.
• Number of Outputs: Specifies the number of outputs.
• CPU Usage: Displays the percentage of CPU power the sound uses on your system. The amount varies depending on the number and type of modules and voices used. Note that this value will also vary depending on how powerful your computer system is!
• Load Time: specifies the time it will takes to load the sound on your system.
Please note the format of the Meta Information has been unified among a number of different software instruments by NATIVE INSTRUMENTS such as MASSIVE, ABSYNTH 4, and FM8 as well as our software live host KORE in order to provide a common environment for your work.
Some of the displayed values may, however, not be active within all of these instruments. For instance, Color or the Number of Outpus/Inputs is of no importance within MASSIVE.
You can search through all of the entries of the
Meta Information with the
Search Term field of the Browser. For instance, you can enter the name of the project you created your sound for in the first place into the
Comment field. By using the database you can access it easily in all future projects, and if you need all sounds used in a particular project, you can find them by entering the project’s name into the
Search Term field.
All sounds you save are automatically integrated into the database. While this is very comfortable for browsing – you don’t have to worry about where the KoreSound files are actually stored – you should take a moment while saving a new KoreSound to set its
attributes. If you don’t do this, your database will soon become less useful, as you won’t be able to find your own sounds easily. Have a look at Appendix A and Appendix B for an explanation of all attributes and some basic examples.
After you enter the
Meta Information and set the attributes according to your sound, you can
save it by clicking the
Save button within the
Navigation Bar. This button will bring up a
Save As dialog asking you for the new KoreSound file’s name and the location to save it. If you saved the sound previously, this may overwrite the old file unless you rename it at this point; if so, MASSIVE will ask you whether or not you really want to overwrite it. By default, the dialog box will suggest to save the sound into the
user content folder or one of its sub-folders. The user content folder is created during installation and can be found in “My Documents/MASSIVE/My Sounds” in Windows XP (“[User]/Documents/MASSIVE/My Sounds” in OSX). Note that you can access this folder within the
Browser’s File Tree View by selecting the
My Sounds entry. As explained above, you can use your operating system to delete or rename files within these folders; please refer to section 4.10.2 for details.
========================
看红色字体部分。NI觉得颜色功能对Massive是可有可无的功能,所以可能在1.4版本中并未完善此功能
