The Library
The Library is where your saved work lives. It holds four kinds of item:
- a kit when you want a whole set of sounds,
- a voice when you only want one sound,
- a pattern when you only want the beat,
- a backup when you want the whole PO-32 (every sound, pattern and the timing) in one item.
Everything is stored locally on your machine.
Saving
Section titled “Saving”- From the Studio: use Save to library on the transport to save the current voice, kit, pattern or backup.
- From the Library: under Save current, give the item an optional name and choose Save kit, Save voice, Save pattern or Save backup.
Adding from a file
Section titled “Adding from a file”Under Add from file, choose Add PO-32 WAV to library to decode a transfer or backup WAV straight into the library. This leaves the Studio untouched. To load a WAV into the Studio for editing instead, use Transfer & Import.
Finding things
Section titled “Finding things”- Search by name or tag.
- Filter by type with the Kits / Voices / Patterns / Backups tabs.
- Filter by tag, or show only your favourites.
- Each row shows a type badge, its tags and when it was saved.
Auditioning and loading
Section titled “Auditioning and loading”Every item has an audition control so you can hear it before you use it, and a Load in Studio action that opens it in the Studio ready to edit or transfer.
A whole instrument in one item
Section titled “A whole instrument in one item”Save the entire PO-32 as a single backup item, and a complete instrument (all 16 sounds, the 16 patterns and the timing) saves and reloads in one go. That is the safest way to keep a finished setup, and it is the same item you restore from when you transfer a backup back to the hardware.
