ENGINE Details
Quick Edit Page
To use the premium upcoming sound libraries of ENGINE “out-of-the-box”, the default start page of
ENGINE is the “QUICK EDIT” page. It includes the most common used features and parameters of the
loaded instrument for immediate access.
The Quick Edit page is totally free designable by the sound designers and developers. This includes the
background screens and the design and position of the parameters. Every instrument (Layer) can
include a different design, background and parameter set.
The Quick Edit page will immediately switch as soon as the respective Layer is selected/loaded. This
unique feature makes ENGINE to the most powerful and individual sample player available.
You can load ANY ENGINE based product into the same software but you still have the custom
QuickEdit pages for every instrument.

Pro Edit Page
If you want to get more into details and customization of the instruments, the PRO EDIT page is
exactly what you need - in particular the flexible modifiers. Tempo-synchronized LFOs, the use of any
external MIDI controller, randomizers and flexible free envelopes - ENGINE offers anything you need to
modify your music. The ingenious structure of the modifiers and the perfect integration into the user
interface enable a quick, easy and unmatched workflow. On this page you can also add Insert filter and
effects to your instruments.

Mixer Page
The professional built-in MIXER of ENGINE allows you to edit, mix and finish your instrument projects
completely independent from your host. You can assign UNLIMITED BUS channels to your project. For
your individual settings each Layer channel contains 5 BUS sends (selectable as pre and post).
Furthermore you can add an unlimited number of „Custom” channels (internal virtual channels) which
let you customize the Sections of each Layer. Thus you can create additional virtual channels for an
easier and more comfortable editing of your Layer.

can use in ENGINE.
You get an overview of your ENGINE Projects, Layer Sets, Layers and Sections and also all available
MIDI and audio files.
Beside the clear overview you can also search for any of your files in a way you have never
experienced before in a software sampler: You can search for the file names but also for categories,
dates, authors, etc. Searching for MIDI files can be done with the attributes bars, bpm, meter, etc.
and the audio file search even accepts the attributes channels, beats, sample rate, size, etc.
ENGINE also allows the import of up to 2 octaves (25 files) of your own samples or audio files!
