Even now, in its early stage, Pot Browser is already taking advantage of multi-threading, database access and many other native features in order to provide a smooth browsing experience. We are dealing with a native extension that runs with full native speed and is not subject to the limitations of ReaScript. Plus, it means we are NOT dealing with yet another script here. Oh yes, Pot Browser is going to be a part of ReaLearn, so it comes with a good deal of controller integration possibilities, including support for displaying e.g. That gives you instant access to many thousands of well categorized presets, often with pre-mapped macro parameters. The good news: It can load NKS presets, and that means you can enjoy full support for 3rd-party (non-NI) plug-ins that support the NKS standard. And maybe it never will, because of their proprietary nature. The bad news first: It can't load the preset formats of Native Instrument's own plug-ins (e.g. In many situations it can be used as a replacement for Native Instrument's own Komplete Kontrol plug-in, with more powerful features and better integration into REAPER. In addition to some of REAPER's own preset formats, it supports reading the NI Komplete database. It's a preset browser that gives you a unified view over all of your plug-in presets. Pot Browser literally throws everything into one large pot. Here's the result of a little side project I've been working on recently and want to publish as "early access" very soon (before finally getting back to full-time development on Playtime 2, so excited!): Pot Browser
It's much fun to control the Pot Browser from your MIDI/OSC devices (*) But of course you can also combine the two using ReaLearn's "Pot" targets. Some functions are accessible via right-clicking elements. There are tooltips all over the place, so just move the mouse pointer over some elements to get help. Now have fun exploring this new tool! The user interface is hopefully pretty much self-explaining. Oh yes, make sure you use this with a recent version of REAPER! For convenient access, you can assign the REAPER action to a toolbar button as I've done in the video: Once you have done that, you can open the browser from the ReaLearn plug-in window ("Menu => Open Pot Browser") or via REAPER action "ReaLearn: Open first Pot Browser" (only available if at least one plug-in instance of ReaLearn is loaded). This makes the browser accessible from any project. This is a pre-release, so be sure to read the section "Test new features and improvements" on that page.Įven though Pot Browser is a part of ReaLearn, it can be used without ever touching ReaLearn's MIDI/OSC features (*) The easiest way to use it is to add a ReaLearn plug-in instance on REAPER's monitoring FX chain (View => Monitoring FX).
Not just any version, it must be the latest one: 2.15.0-pre.4. ProgramData is a hidden folder, and can only be seen if you enable Windows to allow this.UPDATE: Pot Browser is available now, as an early access version.Īs I've mentioned already, Pot Browser is a part of ReaLearn, so you need to install ReaLearn as described here. You would not save much space on a disk, if you could, if that's what you think about. You can't relocate presets and samples when you use Analog Lab. You can read more on Arturias product sites. Arturies applications is mainly emulations and does only use samples, if the original instrument used samples. The sounds does'nt use sample libraries as such. Some of Analog Labs presets is from instruments that also can use samples, so some of the presets does use one or a few samples. My answer below is about Analog Lab, as that is what you mention in your post.Īnalog Lab is'nt a sample player. We are on Analog Lab 4 now, and that has it's own forum. FYI: You have posted in a forum for the legacy product Analog Laboratory in the controller section of the forum.
