Default LIbrary
The console comes with one pre-installed Default Library.
This Default Library contains factory presets for a variety of common applications. These factory default
library entries are 'read-only' and cannot be deleted.
A mechanism exists for the default entries in the Default Library to be updated via a special update
procedure. New, modified or additional default entries may be released from the factory from time to time.
The update will be in the form of a web download which can be copied to a USB stick and transferred to
the console. This may be included as part of the routine software updates for the console.
New Entries can be stored in the Default Library, alongside the read-only factory default Entries, or one or
more new Libraries can be created which will then only contain user-stored Entries.
User Libraries
In addition to the Default Library, as many additional new Libraries can be created as required. Either a
new empty Library can be created or the existing Default Library can be duplicated using the Save As
function, creating a new Library that also contains the factory default Entries.
When a new empty Library is created, only the folder structure is created – the Library itself contains no
Entries and needs to be populated by the user.
The only limit to the number of Libraries or entries that can be created is available disk space in the
console, but the file size of each Library entry is very small (typically <100kB for individual single channel
Entries).
It is recommended for easier data management that each user creates their own Library on the console,
populates it with their personal settings and then exports the Library to their own USB stick.
The Library can then be imported to the next console, added to if required and then re-exported (see later
section Exporting and Importing Libraries).
Categories
The list of Categories can be seen in the diagram on the previous page.
Categories in the Library structure are predefined and cannot be changed by the user.
Note that only items that have a Category can be stored to the Library – it is not possible to store every
type of parameter to the Library! For example, there is no Category for the Input stage (gain, PAD etc) or
the Aux send parts of the channel strip, so these parameters cannot be stored to the Library other than as
part of complete channel strips using the InputChannel Category.
The Misc Category
Most Categories correspond directly to the console function of the same name, but the Misc Category
requires further explanation.
This Category is intended for storing combinations of channel or bus parameters.
Currently, only a combination of EQ and Dynamics can be stored in the Misc category, but this may be
extended with a future software update to allow storing of any of the various channel parameters which do
not have their own Category, as well as any combination of these parameters.
