The right display showing a result list with the Markadellic Sound selected.
Check that the desired Group or Sound slot is focused and/or the desired Plug-in slot is se-
lected before loading the file from the Browser to avoid loading it at the wrong place! To
set the focus to a Group or a Sound slot, you can use Group buttons A–H and the pads
without leaving Browse mode (see section ↑2.3.1, Setting the Focus on a Group or a Sound
to know how to do it). To select a particular Plug-in slot, you will need to temporarily leave
Browse mode and select the right slot (see section ↑2.3.2, Switching Between the Master,
Group, and Sound Level and ↑2.3.3, Navigating Channel Properties, Plug-ins, and Parame-
ter Pages in the Control Area for more information). In any case, don’t hesitate to press
UNDO/REDO to undo/redo your actions.

The file is loaded in the focused Group, the focused Sound, or the selected Plug-in slot
(if it’s an Instrument Plug-in, it will be loaded in the first Plug-in slot of the focused
Sound).
If you are loading a Project, it will replace the Project currently opened. If the current Project
contains unsaved changes, a message appears in the displays asking you if you wish to save
them. Press Button 8 (SAVE) to confirm, Button 7 (DISCARD) to close the current Project without
saving the changes, or Button 5 (CANCEL) to cancel the operation and return to the current
Project.
In Browse mode, the jog wheel can control any of the parameters at the bottom of the left
or right display. The parameter currently controlled is indicated by thin brackets. By default
the jog wheel scrolls the result list (frame on the number of results at the far right). To
switch the jog wheel to any other parameter, press the FUNCTION buttons under the jog
wheel!
