Associating Presets With Libraries

The MediaBay is the central place where all information about presets is stored. This information is added by tagging the presets with a variety of attributes that describe the preset character, the instrument category it belongs to, the author of the preset, etc. One of those tags is the Library Name.

If you specify the same Library Name for all presets that you want to belong to a particular library, they become part of this library, and the MediaBay allows you to filter your search for content belonging to this library only. This means that if you save a new preset, you can add a specific Library Name to it to assign it to an existing library.

There are no restrictions regarding the type of preset that you can assign to a library. However, if you are creating libraries for use in HALion Sonic SE, it is better practice to be more restrictive, that is, to treat a library like an individual instrument with dedicated presets.
