Title says it all, I'm curious to know what you think - and how you use - this feature...

I'm just now starting to work with it. It does make it easier for me to find specific kinds of patches across the dozen-or-more banks I have, which is a timesaver. I imagine it'll become more useful the more I use it!

Hi Tick,
I'm new to Rhino, but in the couple of times I've used it I'm finding the Library a helpful thing. I will eventually get through all the banks and identify the 'likely candidates' for new pieces and put them in appropriage categories. Right now I created a 'Current' label and am picking a few to go with a new project - makes it a lot easier than loading different banks to find the patch.
BTW, I quickly built up a good supply of presets, both with what you offer and two of Daniel's excellent sets. I can see many of these as slipping right in, or becoming starting points for tweaking. And the lib will make it a lot easier to work with; wish other synths had a similar function.
All I will have to remember is to copy the presets by themselves first before I save any tweaks!
Thanks for a fine instrument, and good to see two of my friends (Jacky Ligon and Rick McGowan getting good cred...)
Cheers,
Envoy

I haven't started using it "in production", but have played around with it quite a bit. I like the concept. On other synths, I've ended up making lists of presets in text files. This way, I don't have to do that, and I can make new categories, etc. I do wish the database had a way to make a printout or barf the contents to a text file as a cheat-sheet...

I didn't vote either way, because it's a nice idea - esp for synths like Rhino (z3ta+ comes to mind, too) where there are LOTS of patches out, and a given bank may be all over the place - leads, pads, basses, voices etc. On the other hand, I haven't used it much, so it's not the best thing since sliced bread (yet).
No UPOC though.

It's the right area of the bank page, where all your presets can be classified and searched for.
TIP: there's a "keyword search" mode that can be accessed with the right-click menu. Makes it straightforward to find all the "rhodes" presets...

Keyword search was added in 2.02. Here's a 3 steps tutorial:
1) Right-click in the database and select "Keyword Mode"
2) Type your search text
3) Wonder as all matching presets are returned (almost instantaneously, by the way). Note that the search is done on the preset description as well as the preset name (which is why "Stage 88" was found)
The database is empty initially because you need to populate it. You can drag / drop presets from the left area into it (just drop them into the category you'd like them to be assigned to), or drag/drop fxp or fxb files directly into the database.
Hope this makes sense,
