Audio Files

MOD devices file manager divides your audio files into 4 different categories: Audio Loops, Audio Recordings, Audio Samples, and Audio Tracks. For each of these categories, there's a different folder. It is important that you store your audio files into the correct folders since different plugins have access to different folders.

For example: Audio File plugin access to the Audio Loops, Audio Recordings, and Audio Tracks folders. While Exampler access only to the Audio Samples folder.

Audio Loops

(loopable audio files...kind of like Ableton...drum patterns, etc)

(files recorded inside the device)

Audio Samples

(audio snippets. for example a snare drum sound)

Audio Tracks

MIDI Files
