8 - Library functions
This section introduces the principles of operating
the library functions for the following settings which
can be edited, stored and recalled:
• snapshots
• dynamics processor settings
• equalization settings
• effect processor settings
The way in which these library functions are carried
out are similar for all of these, except for the snap-
shot functions, which are slightly different, and are
explained separately.
Each library has a number of preset memory loca-
tions, and a number of user memories:
The preset memory locations in each library are
“read-only” and cannot be overwritten by user set-
tings. However, they may be recalled, and used as
starting points for user settings, with the edited
parameters being stored in a user location.
Each library is independent of the other libraries;
entries allocated for one library cannot be used by
another library.
Library settings can be stored “offline” using MIDI
System Exclusive data dumps to MIDI data filing
devices or suitably-equipped personal computers.
8.1 Snapshot memories
Snapshot memories may be stored and recalled from
almost any display screen. There are two dedicated
keys for the store and recall of snapshots (
STORE
and
RECALL
) in addition to the
+
and
–
keys which
are used to step through the snapshot memories.
All digital audio parameters are stored as part of a
snapshot library entry. However, I/O setup parame-
ters, including clock source, analog audio settings
(analog trim, phantom power, mic/line switching,
etc.) are not stored as part of a snapshot library entry.
The
SNAPSHOT
key is used to display the snapshot
library screen, allowing renaming, etc. of snapshot
library entries, as explained below.
8.1.1 Snapshot 00
This snapshot is a special case. It resets all settings to
a “neutral” snapshot.
All faders are set to nominal levels, and pan controls
are set to center, etc.
Specifically:
Snapshots (all digital
settings)
1 pre-set “neutral” setting; 60 user
settings
Effector (internal effect
processor)
51 pre-set settings, 77 user settings
EQ (channel equalization
settings)
20 preset settings, 80 user settings
Dynamics (channel
compression and gating)
20 pre-set settings, 80 user settings
