Factory Libraries - Where are they?

Hi guys

Apologies if this is obvious but I am scratching my head over this.

I have Synfire 2 Pro and have been following the tutorials, then trying to copy the workflow in SF.

However, in the tutorials the embedded libraries drop-down menu shows Factory Drums, Factory Bass, and several others but when I use the drop down there is nothing just "Embedded Library", "Open" and "Refresh List".  Should there be more, or do I need to download some from somewhere?

The only thing I did in Preferences was to point the Default Path for Projects to a different location than the original default (see image), which I have forgotten where that original default is, so no going back.

I appreciate I must create my own libraries to add to any provided ones, but I need to know where I save them to as I have not found out from the manual yet. 

Additionally, any recommendations on importing MIDI as the tutorials seem to me to skim over all the options.

 

Thanks in advance

HI Andy

I am no expert but I think you have to go Library in the meny most up and start a new Libray and there can you see more what you can do!

Thank You Andre.

Synfire Pro is so much different than HN2, its taking me hours of re-learning and in-depth searching but I am sure it will be worth it as the examples are so cool and I can't wait to be able to progress to that proficiency.
