Basic Controls

First, we'll look at a few basic controls common to all screens:
The Setup Screen
Open/Save/Window
The SAVE button allows you to save a snapshot of all the current settings as a fi le on your comput-
er's hard drive. This allows you to save and quickly recall all of your carefully created and delicately
adjusted settings as snapshots. The Save–As dialog box opens and allows you to name the fi le.
The OPEN button allows you to recall a previously saved fi le. The name of the currently opened fi le
appears in the window between the OPEN and SAVE buttons. We supply some neat and exciting ex-
amples, just click on OPEN and select one, view its EQ and other settings, and try it out.
