Storing Libraries
Libraries are user-programmed or automatically generated presets of
parameter values. The library database is used as building blocks when
programming cues. Using libraries when programming cues makes
global updating of cues quick and accurate.
Example: The piano’s position has changed. Updating the piano
position library updates all occurrences of the library in all the cues.


