USING THE TAG DIRECTORY SYSTEM

On the S3000XL, it is possible to ‘tag’ files. This is much the same as placing it in a

special sub-directory. In this way, certain files in a partition can be categorised according

to type or any other category you wish. For example, you may have a situation where all

basses from all volumes in a partition have been tagged BASS and all strings tagged

ORCHESTRAL. All vocal sounds may have been tagged VOICE. In this way, it is possible

to access sounds much more easily. For example, using one of the above examples, if

you want to load some bass sounds, instead of scrolling through volumes and partitions,

you may simply select the BASS tag to view, select and load just those sounds.

Sounds, however, can belong to several tags. For example, you may have a series of files

tagged BASS which may include ALL bass sounds from electric bass to slap bass, synth

bass, bass vocal, orchestral string bass, bass sax and flute, etc.. However, the tag SYNTH

BASS would only contain those bass sounds of a synthetic origin whilst E. BASS would

only contain electric bass (even though those exact same sounds exist in the BASS tag).

Acoustic basses may be tagged AC BASSES or something similar, etc.. In this way, a

flexible disk management system exists for easy access and loading of sounds.

But before you can select a tagged file, you must first mark the files.

To access the tagging function, press the key. This will display a screen such as

this:

To tag the files, simply move the cursor to the appropriate file and press . As you

press , you will see that the file has an asterisk placed next to it thus:

This indicates that this file is marked in the currently selected tag.

To select files from another volume to mark, simply move the cursor to the field and

select the next volume and repeat the above procedure. Eventually, you should have

marked all the files you want for the currently selected tag and, in future, when you want

to load a particular type of sound, you only need to select the appropriate tag. To use the

example above, if you subsequently want to load one or more bass sounds, instead of

scrolling though volumes, simply select the BASS tag to view all bass files, select the

appropriate file(s) and press and/or to load the sound(s). It is worth going

though your library and spending some time tagging them all as this will save you time in

the future when you are looking for files to load.

NOTE: It is not necessary to tag the programs and their associated samples - all you need

tag is the program as it is possible to load TAG PROGS+SAMPLES. This will load the

program you have tagged and the samples associated with them automatically without

also having to tag the samples.

If you make a mistake and accidentally tag a file you did not wish to tag, simply press

again to un-tag it, Similarly, at a later date, should you wish to remove a file from a

particular tag, move the cursor to it and press to un-tag it.
