Librarian Overview

As you can see from the screenshot of the Librarian (top of this page), you can save, load, receive or send the complete content to and from either Bank columns.

To transmit the complete content of your Evolution X-Session to the librarian, simply press the “Receive” button on the Librarian software.

This process can only be completed successfully if the USB drivers for your X-Session have been selected correctly, as described in the “Setting Up The Librarian Software” section.

Once you have Received data from the X-Session, the memories are displayed in the column.

Organizing Presets Received From A Device

You can name the memories as you like. To re-name a memory, double-click on the memory. You can then move memories around by dragging them to a new position, or using the copy buttons between the two windows.

These buttons are defined below:

Will copy the selected memory in Bank 2 to Bank 1.

Will copy the selected memory in Bank 1 to Bank 2.

Will copy all memories in Bank 2 to Bank 1.

Will copy all the memories in Bank 1 to Bank 2.

Will undo the last copy you made. Only the last copy is remembered.

It’s a good idea to decide which column is your master column, to avoid confusion and maybe loosing hours of work.

Viewing The Contents Of A Memory

Right-click on a memory to view the contents. Please note that it is not possible to the contents of a memory. The Sys Ex librarian will simply allow you to rearrange the order of memories, or copy memories between one memory dump and another.
