# The Sample Browser
|
|
|
|
Press `Tab` on the sequencer grid to open the sample browser. It appears as a side panel showing a tree of all your sample directories and files. Press `Tab` again to close it. Before using the browser, you need to register at least one sample directory on the Engine page (`F6`). Cagire indexes audio files (wav, mp3, ogg, flac, aac, m4a) from all registered paths.
|
|
|
|
## Browsing
|
|
|
|
The browser displays folders and files in a tree structure.
|
|
|
|
- `Up` / `Down` — Move through the list
|
|
- `Right` — Expand a folder or play a file
|
|
- `Left` — Collapse a folder
|
|
- `Enter` — Play the selected file
|
|
- `PageUp` / `PageDown` — Scroll quickly
|
|
|
|
When you play a sample, it sounds immediately. This makes it easy to audition sounds before writing them into a script.
|
|
|
|
## Search
|
|
|
|
Press `/` to activate the search filter. Type to narrow results by name. Press `Esc` to clear the filter and see everything again.
|
|
|
|
## Using Samples in Scripts
|
|
|
|
Sample folder names become words you can use in your Forth scripts. If you have a folder called `kick`, you can write:
|
|
|
|
```forth
|
|
kick sound .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the **Samples** section in the Audio Engine documentation for details on how sample playback works.
