Global Block Operations
Four different operations enable presets to interact with Global Blocks. You can find these operations on the Tools
page of the Layout menu (from the Grid, page right to “Tools”). To execute a function, select the desired grid
block using the
NAV
buttons, use the
VALUE
wheel to choose the desired Global Block function, turning the
E
knob
if indicated to select the desired Global Block number, and press
ENTER
or the “Execute” button (Push-knob
C
).
Using Axe-Edit makes working with Global Blocks even easier, and also provides a high level view of where they
are used in your preset.
LINK TO GLOBAL BLOCK
The Link to Global Block function “creates” a Global Block from a block in your preset, and then creates a link
between the two. This is always the first step when you want to begin using Global Blocks. Any existing settings
in the selected Global Block is over-written with the settings from the block in your preset. After a link is created,
any time you save changes, the Global Block is updated. Any time another linked preset is changed and saved,
this preset will be updated.
Always save your preset immediately after creating a link to a Global Block.
LOAD FROM AND LINK TO GLOBAL BLOCK
The Load from and Link to Global Block function loads existing Global Block data into the selected block in your
preset, and then creates a link between the two. You would normally use this function to link a set of presets to a
Global Block that you first created using the Link to Global Block function (above). After a link is created, any time
you save changes, the Global Block is updated. Any time another linked preset is changed and saved, this preset
will be updated.
Again, always save your preset immediately after creating a link to a Global Block!
LOAD FROM GLOBAL BLOCK
The Load from Global Block function loads existing Global Block data into the selected block in your preset, but
does NOT create a link between the two. This allows you to use Global Block data as a “template” for populating
local block settings without the usual link.
UNLINK FROM GLOBAL BLOCK
This operation totally disconnects the selected block from any Global Blocks.
UNLINK ALL BLOCKS FROM GLOBAL
This operation unlinks all blocks in the current preset from Global blocks to which they may be linked.
