Library memories

You can name, store and recall parameter settings as User libraries, or recall factory presets from the

Library pane in each processing screen.

Touch the Library button to open up the library view. Select

a Factory, User or USB item and touch Recall to recall its

settings. Touch Store New to store the current settings as a

new User library item. This open the touch keypad to enter a

name.

Libraries can be archived to computer or transferred

between iLive systems using a USB key. Press the

TouchScreen UTILITY / Configuration / Library Manager

key to work with the USB library function. If you plug in a

USB key with libraries available these will be listed in the

related Library screens. You do not need to copy them to the

Surface to work with them. Copy libraries from the iLive to

the USB key to archive or transfer them.

Note: For iLive to see the Libraries on your USB key they

must be placed in an 'allenheath \ libraries’ folder in the

root directory of your key. If libraries have been previously

transferred from an iLive to the key then the folder should

exist already.

Library types:

GEQ

Noise Gate

Compressor

Limiter/De-esser
