Programs, Layers, and Samples

In Backbone, you can load and save programs, layers, and samples.

Programs

Programs can contain up to eight layers, complete with their effects, filter settings, amp settings, etc. You can load one program at a time into Backbone.

Layers

Layers are the sound components that make up the program. They contain the loaded samples and the settings that you make on the edit pages. Layers are loaded into the slots in the Layers section.

Note

Layers only reference the loaded samples. That is, when you edit a layer in the Edit section, you do not change the sample file, but the play parameters for the sample file. The effects are not part of the layers.

Samples

With the Browser tab of the Load panel, you can load mono or stereo samples from the hard disk into the layer slots in the Layers section.
