Browsers
Learn how to use the two browsers within Lores to access the Main presets, Instruments presets and Layers.
Lores provides three different ways to browse. The stunning collection of main presets can be filtered, favorited, edited and saved as your own user preset. The instrument browser allows direct access to the included instruments and their stunning collections of articulations. Finally you can assign presets to layers via the layer browser.
These three browsers are described in detail below.
Main Presets Browser
The Main Presets browser in Lores contains a collection of sounds from 16 instruments expressed through over 300 hand-played articulations, including classic woodwinds, rare chordophones, and compelling vocals that have been carefully sampled. As the foundation for Lores' preset collection, they showcase an eclectic collection of organic instruments that can also be combined in various ways to produce your own unique results.
