Ability to mark favorites / save sets directly to the library / preview sounds

Feature Requests
1

A couple simple requests that I find useful in the other software programs I use:

  1. Ability to mark presets as a “favorite” (as in Arturia Analog Lab)

  2. Ability to save a set directly into the library. I imagine I could have a folder called “my sets” or whatever, and I could drag any set I wanted into it so I could easily collect the ones I want. I find the need to save collections of sets into sessions and then navigate back to them if I want to load them into a new session to be a real workflow killer. My workaround s creating soundpacks of the sets I like and loading them into the library, but there must be an easier way to do this.

  3. Ability to preview the sound of a set by clicking on it (without having to load it into a session and play it) - As in the Ableton Library. It is SO HARD to work through all the presets to find ones I like: loading into the session, trying it out, deleting it from the session, etc.

Thanks!!

Great list

I was thinking the same specially one and three.

But there could be a way to do it but I a just new to the software.

Thanks for the feature request!

#1 is on our list – now that we have cymbals out, we’ll revisit these kinds of features. I’d like to see this one happen soon.

#2 This is currently possible. The “Sessions” tab in the library is for your own sessions. By default these are sessions saved in the “…/Music/Sunhouse/Sensory Percussion 2/sessions” folder. Once you have a session in there, you can expand it in the library to see all the sets in the session. Those can be dragged right in. You can even expand those sets to drag in layers within it. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you.

#3 This would be cool, too. I’ll add it to the list of features to discuss with the team.

Thanks!

That’s awesome. Number 3 even if it is like Native Instruments and a short wave file preview would be a great help. But you all are much smarter than I am and probably already on that path or better.

I guess with #2, what I’m really getting at is the ability to drag things into the library, not just out of sessions that have already been saved. I’m not sure how other people work, but I like to “collect” sounds and instruments and samples in places for easy future access.

It’s not a huge deal, but it would be a “quality of life” improvement if the library could be customized from inside of SP and used to collect and store the stuff I like for easy access inside of any other session that I open in the future.

I just realized that what I’m describing is Ableton’s User Library - just a version of it inside of SP. (Can you tell I’ve been an Ableton user since Version 4?). Maybe I’m trying to force SP to fit into my long established Ableton workflow :sweat_smile:

Cheers!
