GLOBAL BLOCKS
Doc Q7.0

To review:
1) Open the Global Blocks Screen. 2) Save the Global Block with a Link.
3) Save the Preset. If you miss that last step, your changes to the
Global Block will be lost the moment you recall a new preset.
To edit or update a Global Block: 1) open any linked instance; 2) make
desired changes; and 3) save using the same process outlined above,
remembering to also save the preset to commit changes.
Note that once a preset is stored with one or more links to Global Blocks, the RECALL screen will indicate this with
the text “USES GLOBAL BLOCKS”.
Loading and Linking a Global Block
6.2.2
Once you’ve saved a Global Block, it is a simple process to load it into
other presets and create the links that ensure different instances will
stay in sync. It is up to you to remember or document your Global
Blocks, but you can always RECALL one and inspect it if you lose track.
To LOAD a Global Block:
First insert or select a block of the appropriate type in the current preset. Remember that Global
Blocks are limited to use with normal blocks of the same “type and instance,” so a Global FILTER 4
Block, for instance, cannot be loaded into FILTER 1, FILTER 2 or FILTER 3.
With the desired block selected on the grid, press
to open its EDIT menu.
Double-click (or press and hold) the
button to open the SAVE/LOAD GLOBAL BLOCK screen.
Turn the
wheel to select the number of the Global Block you want to load from.
Ensure that “LOAD FROM & LINK TO” is selected on the display and press
.
A confirmation message will be displayed: “OPERATION COMPLETE! YOU MUST SAVE PRESET TO
COMMIT CHANGES.”
You will be returned to the EDIT menu of the current block, which will now be linked to the Global
Block as indicated by its title area (see the “G1” atop the second illustration of section 6.2.1).
In order for the loaded settings and the link to be retained, you need to STORE the current preset.
Once a link has been created, it will cause the block in the current preset to update from the current settings of the
linked Global Block—seamlessly and instantly—as its preset is recalled.
