/ Interface / Sample Manager Dialog

This simple dialog enumerates the internet-based audio sample files available for installing into your current workspace.

As described elsewhere, the available options are determined by a repolist file and you can replace or extend the default repolist that ships with Hz. Sample files are identified by a combination of repo, bank and voice names and are used by sample-playing anodes like Hz.Samplo.

First, enter or select the name of a sample bank you're interested in. The bank list updates with each keystroke in the Banks entry producing 0 or more banks that match the letters you've entered.

Any matches are presented as buttons which, when pressed, update the voices list.

If the bank has a lot of voices the Voices entry can be used to filter out unwanted ones.

When you click on a voice, its details appear at bottom.

You can also right-click on a voice to trigger background installation of its sample files. Status of the download is reported in the Log Panel and you may need to manually right-click refresh below the _cache area of your Workspace to see and audition the new files.

Note that the capabilities of this dialog can also be implemented in your scripts using the SampleMgr API.
