Sample Browser


The Sample Browser is an overview of the samples both located on the internal storage as well as external storage if connected. The Sample Browser can be accessed when loading samples from Material Devices. Other than getting an overview of available samples, the Sample Browser also has an integrated Sample Preview feature, that allows seamless monitoring of any sample.
