Basic Steps in Creating a DLS Collection

The following is a brief outline of how to create a new DLS collection. Details on each step are given later in this section.

  1. On the File menu, click New.
  2. In the New box, double-click DLS Collection. A new DLS collection is added to the project tree.
  3. In the project tree, insert or drag wave files into the Waves folder of the new DLS collection. See Adding Waves to a DLS Collection.
  4. In the project tree, insert or drag instrument files into the Instruments folder of the new DLS collection. See Adding Instruments to a DLS Collection.
  5. Double-click the newly added instrument to open the DLS Designer Window.
  6. Specify which wave files to use in the instrument and define regions in the instrument for each wave used.
  7. Define articulations for each region, or for the entire instrument.

Repeat steps 4 though 7 to create additional instruments in the DLS collection. You can use wave files already in the collection with multiple instruments, or add more wave files to the collection.
