ST 4 browser window.

Postby ron-e-g » Sun Apr 25, 2021 9:58 pm

I haven't used Sample Tank 4 in awhile. I clicked on something and lost the browser window. How do I get back to it to select my preferred instrument to load? I've tried clicking on everything viewable nothing works to get me there.

Thanks

I did not know that it could be closed. What do you see?

Thanks DarkStar,
This is the window Image As appose to The parts, layer, or mixer window. One more question, Can I get the sound files organised like this in ST3 instead of so randomly listed like it is in SampleTank 4 Doesn't even list the Miroslav Philharmonik all together. Image Image

In your first pic, you are selecting an instrument to load. That is the default browser, you can filter the instruments by Library, Categories and Filters. Once you have select5ed and loaded an instrument, click the X button in the top-right.

If you want the classic folder view (As in ST3) , click the folder icon just to the right of the word "Library" (Sadly, ST4 takes ages here to build the cache database for the folder view, so it is not really usable here; I do hope that the dev team are reworking that.)

Image I'm confused; I see no folder icon to the right of the word "library". Anything I click builds no data base, or shows a "classic" folder view.

I think DarkStar meant the folder icon to the left of the word "Library" (top left of the GUI).

Thanks garfy, I do too. However it builds no data base, or shows a classic view for me.
most everything I try to load ends in this; Image
How do I get this simple file view in ST3 in 4? Image
OK I got it. Is there anyway to have ST4 open to this window every time to eliminate all the moves to get there? Image

Something doesn't look quite right in your ST4 image. In my version of ST4 I can only select one library at a time when I'm in folder view and the folder icon goes white when selected. Have you tried only selecting ST3 Imported?

The error message you're showing could relate to this or a different issue.

Not that I can see, but it is only 2 clicks.
