# Stream View

***

### Overview

The Stream is Current’s cloud-connected preset and sound browser.

It provides access to new presets, samples, and wavetables that are organized into themed packs. As packs are added, it will appear here, providing a continuous stream of inspiring material for you to draw from.

Finding what you're looking for is made easy with text search and a comprehensive tagging system. You can preview, favorite, and load everything directly into the instrument. This allows you to build your library and stay in the flow.

### 1. Stream Tabs

View presets, samples, or wavetables, by selecting the relevant tab at the top of the Stream View.

***

### 2. Sort Options

The current search results can be sorted in the following ways:

* **Shuffle.** Display search results in random order.
* **Sort A-Z.** Sort search results alphabetically.
* **Newest.** Sort search results by newest, ensuring that new packs and sounds appear at the top.

### 3. Local & Cloud Mode

These buttons allow you to toggle between Local and Cloud modes in the Stream.

In Local mode, the Stream behaves as if there is no internet connection, so you can only browse packs and sounds that are already downloaded.

Cloud mode gives you access to everything available in the Stream, whether you've downloaded it or not.

### 4. Search Controls

On the left side of the Stream View, you'll find all the search controls.

Here, you can switch between expansion pack and individual sound searches, search by text, apply high-level filters like "Favorited" and "Owned," and use tag-based filtering to find exactly what you're looking for.

### 5. Browser Area

Here, you’ll see the current pack or sound search results.

**Packs.** Each expansion pack includes a description, ownership and favorited status, and a button to download or purchase the pack through our website.

Click on a pack to explore its contents and discover the exact sound you're looking for.

**Presets & Sounds.** Each preset or sound includes an audio preview along with essential information such as the pack name and preset type.

You can favorite and download the individual sound or load it immediately using the button on the left.
