To assign it to a variable and leave it at the top of the stack use

In the Yellow Box: There is a section on "What do the yellow triangles mean" but I am still confused on the following points:
- how do I (or can I) save a single sound that has a yellow triangle? If I have several unrelated yellow triangled sounds in the sound browser, when I refresh the browser it seems I have to save all or none.
- If I save a sound file that a yellow-triangled sound is in, when I refresh the sound browser, I'm still asked to save or discard the changes. I'm not sure what I have and haven't saved at that point.

Individual Sounds are grouped into
Sound files and saved on disk. When you make a change to a Sound, the Browser shows a yellow triangle next to it to indicate that it is changed in RAM but that the changes haven't been saved to the disk yet. There is no way to save just that one Sound to the disk; you have to save the entire Sound file. In the Browser, this would be all the Sounds in the indented list below the Sound File name.

Right - I got that much, however say I'm editing 2 Sound Files, called 'em (imaginatively) A and B. Both A and B have yellow traingles next to them and I want to keep changes to A but discard those for B. With the focus on the window for A, I ctrl-S to save, but in the browser the yellow traingles still exist for both. If I go to refresh the browser it asks me whether I want to save or discard changes. I
think I've already saved A, but being a newbie, I'm nervous about it. This happend to me as I was working through the tutorials and editing both my own Sound File (A) and one from Kyma's "factory presets" (B).

(PDF Page 45): Invites me to "use one sound as an input to another" which I was dying to do, but I had no idea how to. (At this point I haven't read the Timeline stuff - I skipped to Part 2 from page 45, so I could find out about making sounds.)

Which page was this? Do you think a forward reference would be helpful there?

CarlaScaletti - 09 Jan 2004
Sure - you could forward reference to "Inserting a Sound into the Signal Flow Path" on page 101

(PDF Page 102): When I was building a sound from scratch, and I dropped
TwoFormantElement? between Noise(white) and the speaker (as instructed) I ended up with something completely different than the screen shot. I later realized that my problem was that I should not be dropping the
TwoFormantElement? on the plus sign, but on the line between the plus sign and Noise(white). Since it doesn't work to drop it just anywhere between Noise(white) and the speaker (nothing happens), the plus sign (a) seemed to be the thing that wanted to have things dropped on it and (b) the only thing I could find - at least at first - that would work. Of my notes so far, I would rate this particular thing as the highest priority to clarify.
