Using the Category Search function

You'll probably have a lot of fun and inspiration going through the Voices one-by-one, listening to each in order—but it will
take you a long time to get through all of them, since the MO has so many. This is where the Category Search function comes
in handy. It's a powerful and easy-to-use way to quickly find the Voices you want.
Let's try out the feature below, searching for a Voice in the Pipe Organ category.
