for the Input stage (gain, PAD etc) or the Aux send parts of the channel strip, so these parameters cannot be stored to
the Library other than as part of complete channel strips using the Input Channel Category.
The Misc Category is intended for storing combinations of channel or bus parameters. Currently, only a combination of
EQ and Dynamics can be stored in the Misc category, but this may be extended with a future software update.
Default Library
The console comes with one pre-installed Default Library. This Default Library contains factory presets for a variety of
common applications. These factory default library entries are ‘read-only’ and cannot be deleted.
A mechanism exists for the default entries in the Default Library to be updated via a special update procedure. New,
modified or additional default entries may be released from the factory from time to time in the form of a web download
that can be copied to a USB stick and transferred to the console.
New Entries can be stored in the Default Library, alongside the read-only factory default Entries, or one or more new
Libraries can be created which will then only contain user-stored Entries.
User Libraries
In addition to the Default Library, as many additional new Libraries can be created as required. Either a new empty
Library can be created or the existing Default Library can be duplicated using the Save As function, creating a new
Library that also contains the factory default Entries. When a new empty Library is created, only the folder structure is
created – the Library itself contains no Entries and needs to be populated by the user.
The only limit to the number of Libraries or entries that can be created is available disk space in the console, but the
file size of each Library entry is very small (typically less than 100kB for individual single channel Entries).
