Pressing ENTER will reload the last data which was in the internal memory (the “resume data”), and

pressing a cursor key will load the project, ignoring any changes since the last project save.

About projects and libraries

As mentioned earlier, the DM-3200 uses projects to store settings.

Projects contain system information, automation and routing information associated with a project, mak- ing it easy to return to a previous state when a project has to be conducted over more than one session.

When a new project is created, any of the following data from a previous project may also be associated

with it (it is possible to pick and choose from this list):

•System data

•Snapshot (scene) data library

•EQ setting library

•Compressor/expander setting library

•Gate library

•Either or both of the effect libraries.

•Effect setting libraries

Libraries

Each library in each project also has access

to the appropriate preset bank (RAM).

There are two preset banks for the effects.

Figure 2.21: Project structure

Within each project, five libraries, each divided into four banks, contain the settings for the storable parameters mentioned above.

Each of these banks contains 128 “slots” to hold set- tings (numbered from 000 to 127).

In addition, the preset bank, stored in the DM-3200’s memory, is available for recall of presets to be used as starting points for user settings. The effect library has access to two preset banks.

Individual slots and banks may be copied between projects after the project has been created.

Projects are stored on easily-transportable standard Compact Flash cards, allowing projects to be tracked in a project studio, and mixed and produced in a larger facility, for example.

Projects are date-stamped automatically (the DM- 3200 contains a battery-backed clock) which helps you keep your work organized.
