This menu item allows you to select a new Patch for a device. The menu item reflects which device is selected - in other words, you must select the device for the corresponding Browse Patches item to appear on the Edit menu.
When you select the menu item, the Browser dialog appears, allowing you to locate and select the patch, on the hard disk or within a ReFill.
When you select a patch, the device's parameters will be set according to the values stored in the patch, and the name of the patch will be shown in the patch name display. As with any change you make, this operation can be undone.
Any parameter adjustments you make on the device panel after selecting a patch will not affect the actual patch file (for this you need to save the patch).
Patches for the Redrum, NN-19 and NN-XT contain references to samples. Just like patches, samples can be independent files on the hard disk or elements within a ReFill or a SoundFont. However, if sample files have been moved or renamed after a patch was saved, the sample file references in the patch will not be accurate.
If this is the case when you select a patch, the program will tell you so. You can then choose to either manually locate the missing files, to have the program search for them in the database and ReFills or to proceed with missing sounds.
