2 – Basic operational concepts : Library management

Viewing library entries POD 4 is used to scroll through and highlight the library entries in the cur- rently-selected bank. The on-screen representation changes as the entries are highlighted. POD 4’s key can be used as a “soft key” here to bring up a popup with the properties of the highlighted entry.

POD 2 brings up an edit screen, allowing the title, etc. of the library entry to be edited (see “Naming library entries” on page 32).

Recalling library entries When a library entry is highlighted, using the RECALL key to the left of the display recalls the entry. Settings change to that of the entry. POD 3 switch or the the on-screen RECALL button may also be used for this purpose (nav- igate to it and press ENTER).

The + and – keys can also be used (without the SHIFT key) to recall the library entries within the bank in sequence.

TIP

By using the SHIFT key and the RECALL key, the recall action can be undone. Pressing the SHIFT + RECALL key combination after an undo operation will redo the recall action.

Storing library entries The current settings can be stored as a library entry by using the dedicated STORE key to the left of the screen. They will be stored to the slot in the library highlighted at the right

of the screen. The on-screen STORE button may also be used for this purpose (navigate to it and press ENTER).

If this action will overwrite an existing library entry, this is shown as a popup message. Popup messages are also shown if the settings cannot be stored (maybe because there is no space on the card) or if the destination slot contains a read-only preset.

Use the POD 2 switch as a STORE AS button. It brings up the naming panel and the renamed entry can then be stored.

TIP

You can copy library entries directly between banks (see “Library utilities” on page 31), but you also can load a library entry from one bank, thereby making it the cur- rent entry, select another bank, and store the current entry to that bank.

Deleting library entries When a library entry is highlighted on the right side of the screen, you can delete it from memory, using the on-screen DELETE button.

Navigate to the button, and press ENTER. A popup message appears, asking you to confirm that the library entry is to be deleted. Confirm the deletion with ENTER, cancel it with a cursor key.

An error message pops up if you try to delete a read- only library entry.

Library utilities

These utilities allow batch operations, etc. to manage library data and the CF cards.

Access this screen with the UTILITY option in the pull- up menu:

Figure 2.28: Library utility screen

This screen allows the bulk copying and management of library data between libraries and banks, as well as between projects.

The left side of the screen is used to show and set details the “target” destination of the copying and management process, and the right side is used for the source of the data to be copied. Naturally, when copying data from one library to another, both librar- ies must be of the same type—it is not possible to copy EQ settings to an effect library, for example.

Target parameters Within the “target” section of the screen, you can edit the properties (use the on- screen EDIT button) of the library entry highlighted in the scrolling list, in the selected bank.

Use the on-screen buttons at the bottom of the left side of the screen to select the bank to be used as a target.

Use the POD 2 encoder to scroll through the list of entries in the selected bank.
