Now that we have a basic understanding of the libraries, let's now look at the function.
Pressing DIRECTORY will show something like this screen display:
Here we see the libraries currently on Disk 0.
Libraries are automatically sorted alphabetically from right to left and down. The small
downwards pointing arrow found in the bottom right of the screen indicates that there are
files 'below' screen which you can access by scrolling down using the cursor keys. In this
example, if there were libraries 'above' the current screen display, an upwards pointing
arrow would be shown:
Libraries are selected by moving the cursor using the cursor up/down/left/right keys. When
the cursor is highlighting the library you wish to use, press F6 - OPEN - and you will be
taken to that library where you will see a list of clips contained in the library. I.e.:
In this example, we can see a list of library clips. As indicated by the arrows, there are files
'above' and 'below' the screen which you may scroll to. The top line that shows the Library
Name and Disk number are for reference only - you cannot actually select another library
or disk ID in this page. To open another library, close the current one and select the one
you want from the main DIRECTORY list.
Of course, the above example assumes that you have taken the time to create and
assemble a series of libraries. If you are using the DD1500 for the first time, you will not
have any libraries or clips so let's see how to create a new library and place some clips in
it.
