Factory content

Desktop builds of Ongenet can ship a bundled Content/Core pack. It appears in the Library under Factory Samples and Factory Soundfonts with no Settings step required. The Ongenet application remains MIT; factory audio is licensed separately.

How to use

  1. Open Library → Samples or Soundfonts and expand the Factory groups (nested by folder).
  2. Drag an SFZ/SF2 onto a track that hosts a Sampler, or use the slot Load… / Add… buttons.
  3. Load… replaces all layers; Add… stacks another instrument. Editor… opens layers, keyboard coverage, and the zone map.
  4. Sampler factory stacks (Preset menu): e.g. GM GeneralUser, GM JNS, VSCO Strings, VCSL Kit + Piano.

More drag-and-drop detail: Samples & libraries. Sampler how-to (load, layers, editor): Sampler: SFZ & SF2.
