TIP

Use the radio buttons NAME and DATE to sort the avail- able projects by their name (alphabetic order) or the date of creation.

Managing projects

Projects may be deleted, renamed, etc. as well as being copied (this last option allows you to keep dif- ferent versions of the same basic project, with differ- ent EQ settings, library entries, etc.).

TIP

You can also use the software on a computer to read the data stored on the CF card, back it up to the com- puter, and save it to another card. Consult the docu- mentation of the software to find out how to do this.

Use the MANAGE PRJ. screen (press the PROJECT key with the ALT indicator lit until this screen appears) to manage the and card-stored projects:

NOTE

The default internal project when loaded does not allow the storage of automation, or the storage or recall of library entries—its main function is to serve as a blank template for a card-stored library rather than as a working project.

Copying a project This action takes the high- lighted project and creates a new project based on it. When the on-screen COPY button is pressed, the rename popup appears with a name and comments based on the source project. See “Naming library entries” on page 32 for details of how to enter and edit names.

Rename the project with a unique name (duplicate names are not allowed, and a popup message will inform you if you try to use an existing name) and when you are finished, press the on-screen STORE but- ton (CANCEL cancels the copying process).

Deleting a project Move the cursor to the project to be deleted and press the on-screenDELETE button.

A popup appears asking if you are sure you want to delete the project. Press ENTER to delete, or a cursor key to cancel the delete process.

Figure 2.24: The project management page

NOTE

The currently-loaded project is indicated by an inverted C character by its name.

Use the POD 4 encoder to scroll through the list of available projects.

Loading a project Use the POD 4 key as a short- cut key (LOAD) to load the highlighted project, or use the cursor keys to move the cursor to the on-screen LOAD button and press ENTER.

A popup message briefly appears while loading the project, and also when the load process is completed.

Remember that deleting a project also deletes all the custom library entries (snap shot, effect and dynamics processor settings, etc.) associated with the project.

Only delete the project if you are certain that you do not want any of the project data any more.

Renaming a project This is very similar to the copy procedure (see above) where the on-screen RENAME button is pressed to provide a new unique name for the project (as described in “Naming library entries” on page 32).

In addition to these facilities named above, there is an on-screen button that allows a direct jump to the CF card maintenance screen, allowing formatting of a card, etc.
