Cubase mediabay tagging character vs properties

I’m tagging Instrument presets, and debating whether to use properties or character’s, they seem very similar. I want to commit to one cuz I don’t want to wast filter’s. is there benefit to one over the other? character seems easier to use.

also is there a comprehensive guid or documentation on the attributes filters? I know and use some of them like “Famly Name” “style” “Category”, but there’s so much more stock attribute filter’s and I would like to know what is relevant and how to use them.

BTW I really admire that the filters you use in the program selector stays exclusive to that instrument and is not universal. so I can have different filters for different instrument plugins and not have to constantly change them, truly amazing.

I stopped using the mediabay so not that up to date. I guess the definition of the words would be a good guide. for me “character” would be “hard bass” “moody piano” .. properties would be “techno collection 4” “steinberg drum hits volume1” :smiley: all depends on you. if you have any samples/presets pre labeled look into that and make it work for you
