Using libraries and scene

memories

This chapter explains how to use libraries and scene memories.

About the libraries

Memory areas that store settings for sections such as EQ,
dynamics, and effects are called “libraries.” By recalling
(loading) data from a library, you can instantly use the
desired set of settings. Most types of library also let you
store the current settings. The AW16G provides the fol-
lowing libraries.
Input channel library
EQ, dynamics, and internal effect settings can be
loaded from this library into the currently selected
input channel. This library is read-only, and cannot
be used to store your own settings.
EQ library
EQ settings can be loaded from this library into the
currently selected channel.
Dynamics library
Dynamics settings can be loaded from this library
into the currently selected channel.
Effect library
Effect settings can be loaded from this library into
internal effects 1/2.
Mastering library
EQ and dynamics settings can be loaded from this
library into the stereo channel. This library is read-
only, and cannot be used to store your own settings.
Sample library
Sets of samples can be loaded from this library into
the Quick Loop Sampler.
Channel library
Major mix parameters can be loaded from this library
into a channel.

About scene memories

On the AW16G, settings for the mix parameters of all
channels and the effect parameters etc. can be stored in
internal memory as a “scene” with the name you specify.
When you recall one of the various libraries described
above, the library settings you recall will be loaded into
the settings that you are currently using (referred to as the
“current scene”). You can then save the current settings
as a scene memory, which will contain the settings that
you loaded from a library. Libraries and scene memories
are saved on the hard disk as part of the song.
The following diagram shows how libraries, scene, and
the song are related to each other on the AW16G.
