5. Presets and Snapshots Library
After putting in the effort to adjust the routing, channel processing and global
preferences, it is highly recommended that a Snapshot be created to preserve the
console state. This can be done in the Library section. Many options exist to select
both the way that these are saved, as well as how the console state is protected
when loading previously-saved Snapshots.
The left-hand pane of the Snapshot Library will show a list of your Snapshots
that have been saved to the main directory, as well as any folders that you have
created to organize similar Snapshots. If many Snapshots are likely to be saved,
or if multiple engineers will be using the console, then it may be more efficient to
make good use of folders.
Recall Scope
Various elements of the console, including routing, channel processing, and global
configuration can be selected or omitted both when saving and recalling a saved
Snapshot. Channels, buses and FX engines will expand for easier select/deselect.
Adjusting the recall scope prior to saving can act as a reminder to the purpose for
that Snapshot being saved in the first place. When a saved Snapshot is selected
from the library list, the state of the recall scope at the time the Snapshot was
saved will be displayed. This also allows the scope to be further adjusted
before loading.
When the Snapshot is loaded, only the elements highlighted in blue
will be affected.
Global Safes
Touch the GLOBAL SAFES button at the top of the screen to access these options.
Certain elements can be protected from ever being affected by Snapshot recall.
To summarize:
Blue – channel/routing/config will be recalled when a saved Snapshot is loaded.
Grey – Specific element will not be recalled when a saved Snapshot is loaded.
Red – Highlighted element will never be affected by Snapshots because a
Safe is active.
Transferring Libraries to a PC
A Library of Snapshots and Presets is stored in the internal DATA file system of your
WING. This file system can be made available to connected personal computers for
transferring, copying and exchanging data.
Open the SETUP/Global Settings Edit page and enable DATA ACCESS.
Connect a USB cable to the rear panel port and to your computer.
A virtual drive will appear on your computer, similar to connecting a
flash drive or external hard drive. Double click the drive to open.
Any stored Snapshots and Presets will show up and
can be copied to the PC.

6. Firmware Updates

The WING console firmware can be easily updated via USB. Download the
firmware file from the product page on Behringer.com and follow these steps.
Open the Setup/Global Edit page and enable OS ACCESS.
Connect a USB cable to the rear panel port and to your computer.
A virtual drive will appear on your computer, similar to connecting a
flash drive or external hard drive. Double click the drive to open.
Drag the new firmware file into the drive.
Note, although WING will always boot using the most recent firmware
in that drive, it is recommended to delete older firmware files or move them
to a subfolder.
If the console does not boot up normally, you can still update the firmware
using this procedure:
With console powered off, connect a USB cable to the
rear panel port and to your computer.
Press and hold the Select button next to the Main Display,
then power the console on.
An OS and DATA drive will appear on your computer, similar to
connecting a flash drive or external hard drive. Double click a drive
to open.
Drag the new firmware file into the OS drive.
Note, WING will always boot using the most recent firmware
in that drive.
After the file has transferred, eject the virtual drive. The console
should reboot automatically with the new firmware installed. If it
doesn't, power cycle the console manually.
Initialize to Default Settings
You can reset the console to its initial state if you need to ensure that no previous
settings are interfering with what you plan to set up from scratch. There are two
ways to achieve this:
> by opening the Setup/Global Edit page and selecting INIT CONSOLE.
> by pressing and holding the CLEAR SOLO button on the Main Display while
powering the console up.
