Viewing library entries
POD 4 is used to scroll
through and highlight the library entries in the cur-
rently-selected bank. The on-screen representation
changes as the entries are highlighted. POD 4’s key
can be used as a “soft key” here to bring up a popup
with the properties of the highlighted entry.
POD 2 brings up an edit screen, allowing the title,
etc. of the library entry to be edited (see “Naming
library entries” on page 32).
Recalling library entries
When a library entry
is highlighted, using the
RECALL
key to the left of
the display recalls the entry. Settings change to that
of the entry. POD 3 switch or the the on-screen
RECALL
button may also be used for this purpose (nav-
igate to it and press
ENTER
).
The
+
and
–
keys can also be used (without the
SHIFT
key) to recall the library entries within the
bank in sequence.
TIP
By using the
SHIFT
key and the
RECALL
key, the
recall action can be undone. Pressing the
SHIFT
+
RECALL
key combination after an undo operation will
redo the recall action.
Storing library entries
The current settings can
be stored as a library entry by using the dedicated
STORE
key to the left of the screen. They will be
stored to the slot in the library highlighted at the right
of the screen. The on-screen
STORE
button may also
be used for this purpose (navigate to it and press
ENTER
).
If this action will overwrite an existing library entry,
this is shown as a popup message. Popup messages
are also shown if the settings cannot be stored
(maybe because there is no space on the card) or if
the destination slot contains a read-only preset.
Use the POD 2 switch as a STORE AS button. It
brings up the naming panel and the renamed entry
can then be stored.
TIP
You can copy library entries directly between banks (see
“Library utilities” on page 31), but you also can load a
library entry from one bank, thereby making it the cur-
rent entry, select another bank, and store the current
entry to that bank.
Deleting library entries
When a library entry is
highlighted on the right side of the screen, you can
delete it from memory, using the on-screen
DELETE
button.
Navigate to the button, and press
ENTER
. A popup
message appears, asking you to confirm that the
library entry is to be deleted. Confirm the deletion
with
ENTER
, cancel it with a cursor key.
An error message pops up if you try to delete a read-
only library entry.
Library utilities
These utilities allow batch operations, etc. to manage
library data and the CF cards.
Access this screen with the
UTILITY
option in the pull-
up menu:
This screen allows the bulk copying and management
of library data between libraries and banks, as well as
between projects.
The left side of the screen is used to show and set
details the “target” destination of the copying and
management process, and the right side is used for
the source of the data to be copied. Naturally, when
copying data from one library to another, both librar-
ies must be of the same type—it is not possible to
copy EQ settings to an effect library, for example.
Target parameters
Within the “target” section
of the screen, you can edit the properties (use the on-
screen
EDIT
button) of the library entry highlighted in
the scrolling list, in the selected bank.
Use the on-screen buttons at the bottom of the left
side of the screen to select the bank to be used as a
target.
Use the POD 2 encoder to scroll through the list of
entries in the selected bank.
