Analog Lab how to organize Soundbanks?

So I’ve purchased quite a few soundbanks, but not a fan of images, as they take up alot of room on the UI. Is it possible if Arturia makes these images smaller, so we can see more banks, or maybe add’s the ability / option to minimize the images of the soundbanks to allow the user to see more banks at one time ?

Also if Arturia devs will allow us the option to organize our favorite Soundbanks and allow us to place them where we want to see them,in which order.

Thanks in advance :wink:

Hi @trusampler ,

When you select BANK in Analog Labs Browser - where you see the thumbnails now -, then if you click the icon right of the total amount of presets number, you will get Banks listed in text only - no images.

I’m referring to being on the Sound Banks tab on the Left hand side of the browser. I wasn’t able to figure what you we’re saying if I am on the Sound Banks tab.

If I switch to Explore tab, I can then choose Banks, but I was hoping to do this from the Sound Banks tab. Is this what you’re referring to ?

What I’d like is to be able to do is, browse more banks at once from the main Sound Banks tab. Hopefully I’m not confusing the question. Are you suggesting that this is possible ?

It’s only in Explore view. Click the Icon the arrow point at in the attached image.

Right, ok yes, that was what I was trying to avoid and am hoping Arturia updates the browser to allow the Sound Banks area to get the option to view multiple banks at once.

Thanks for the reply though

You can see multiple banks. You can even select multiple banks using control+click (Windows) in the text list. Probably similar on MAC.

Yes if I’m in the Explore window :wink: I’m specifically requesting this be done on the Sound Banks tab. Unless I’m missing something, but I’m strictly speaking about the Sound Banks tab, do you have a screen shot ?

As i wrote it’s only in the Explore view. Why does it matter?

It’s simply more clicks than it should be, when there should be an option on the Sound Banks tab as well.
I’m requesting the option. If you don’t see a need for it, that’s fine, but I do.

@trusampler
OK

Not sure this will help you, but just to let you know, at 90% scaling in the plugin I get five rows of six bank icons at a time, and use my mouse’s scroll wheel to scroll up and down in the Explore tab. True, I can only see 30 and I am using a scroll wheel to change which 30 I see at a time, but that’s more than you have visible.

I would LOVE a folder option on the browse page. So, I can put a bunch of related Soundbanks into different folders rather than seeing every single one I have in one spot!!

Exactly tripleB this is the kind of new features that actually help musicians. Actual workflow enhancements, such as browser support is what’s needed.
Yes adding more soundbanks of sounds is great, but if the customer/users have to struggle to find them it makes it less of a reason to want more soundbanks.
Sounds like you’re interested in better browser development like I am.
Hopefully Arturia will listen.

If Arturia would make the browser better by just allowing us the option to see things more clearly, add options as you mentioned to get to our sounds faster, and that Polybrute emulation :wink: I’ll be a happy camper!

Cheers
