Right-click on a memory to view the contents.  Please note that it is not possible to edit 
the contents of a memory.  The Sys Ex librarian will simply allow you to rearrange the 
order of memories, or copy memories between one dump and another.  The screen shot 
shown below shows the first memory of a memory dump from a 425C with the factory 
defaults. 
 

Once you have named all your presets, and organised them in the desired order, click 
’save’ to save the content. 
 
Alternatively you can click on the File menu and select save to save the file with the  
previously assigned file name, or save as to assign the memory dump a new file name. 
The shortcut key to save is CTRL+S. 
 
Make sure you give the file a name which allows you to quickly identify your collection of 
setups. 

 

To load a memory setup file back in to the librarian, click on the ’Load’ button and select 
the required file.  The loaded preset setups will appear in the Edit Window.  You can then 
either send it directly to the Evolution device by clicking send, or edit it. 
 
Alternatively, select Open from the File menu. 
 
The shortcut key for loading is CTRL+O 
 

 

We strongly recommend you register your ownership of the Evolution Librarian if you 
would like to be kept informed about future development. As you can see from the version 
number, the software is at an early version 1.0 stage and we will continue to work on  
enhancements for the software.
