Song Selector

The Song Selector is used to switch between different table presets without stopping the sound generation. This way the Reactable performance can last as long as the user wishes without interruption. When switching between songs all the objects which are on the table will retain their settings, and these will only switch to the new setting when they are removed from the table and put back again.

The Set Selector Panel

The Song selector has 2 subpanels. The first one is used to select the current set. A set is a collection of "rtp" files in a directory. The directory has the extension ".rtp". In the first subpanel all the directories in the Sessions folder (Documents/Reactable/Sessions on Mac) can be selected. As soon as a set is loaded, the system shows how many table presets are in the directory.

The Load/Save panel

The current table preset is selected by turning the object. The preset name will show on the screen. With the "Load" button this preset can be loaded, with the "Save" button the current setup will be stored to the preset. One preset per "rtp" file will be shown. If one needs more presets it is possible to copy a rtp file and give it the name of the preset in the Filemanager (Finder) application.
