7.5 Libraries Screen

The libraries screen allows loading and saving of commonly used setups for the
channel inputs, effects processors, and routing scenarios.
The libraries screen contains the following separate tabs:
1. Channel: This tab allows the user to load and save commonly used
combinations of the channel DSP effects.
2. Effects: This tab allows the user to load and save commonly used effects
processor presets.
3. Routing: This tab allows the user to load and save commonly used signal
routings they have set up.
7.5.1 Libraries Screen: Channel Tab
The library screen's channel tab allows you to load and save commonly used
combinations of the channel DSP effects. For example, once you have dialed in
a combination of equalization and compression that works well for a particular
singer, you can save the channel DSP chain as a preset for later recall.
To adjust the various settings on the channel tab, perform the following steps:
1. Adjust the 1st encoder to navigate among which specific elements of
the input channel can be recalled when loading an input channel preset.
Choices include:
• Head Amp (Microphone Preamplifier)
• Configuration
•
Gate
• Compressor
• Equalizer
• Sends
2. Tap the 1st encoder to turn the currently selected element on/off in the
recall list.
3. Adjust the 2nd encoder to scroll among a list of input channel presets.
4. Tap the 2nd encoder to load the currently highlighted preset and make it
active on the currently selected console channel.
5. Adjust the 3rd encoder to scroll among a list of channel preset slots to save
the current state of the currently selected console channel.
6. Tap the 3rd encoder to save the currently selected channel's state, to the
currently selected preset slot.
• When the 3rd encoder is tapped, a preset naming screen appears.
Adjust and tap encoders 4-6 to apply a custom name to the preset
before saving it, then tap the 6th encoder to complete the save process.
7. Tap the 4th encoder to delete a preset from the currently highlighted
preset slot.
8. Tap the 5th encoder to import a preset from an attached USB drive.
• When the 5th encoder is tapped, an "import preset from USB"
screen appears. Adjust the 1st encoder to navigate among the contents
of the USB drive, and then tap the 1st encoder to select the currently
highlighted preset folder.
• When the preset file has been imported, tap the 2nd encoder to leave
the screen.
9. Tap the 6th encoder to export the currently highlighted preset to an
attached USB drive.
• When the 6th encoder is tapped, an "Export Preset to
USB drive appears".
• Adjust the 1st encoder to scroll among the currently available
presets to export, then tap the first encoder to select the currently
highlighted preset.
• Adjust and tap encoders 4-6 to apply a custom name to the preset as it
is exported.
• Tap the 2nd encoder to cancel out of the export operation.
7.5.2 Libraries Screen: Effects Tab
The library screen's effects tab allows you to load and save presets for the various
onboard effects processors.
To adjust the various settings on the FX tab, perform the following steps:
1. Adjust the 1st encoder to navigate among which of the eight effects slots to
load or save a preset.
• As you navigate among the eight effects slots, the specific effect
processor loaded into each slot will display on the screen as both a name
and icon.
2. To save and load presets, as well as import/export them, follow the same
procedures as detailed in the Libraries Screen: Channel Tab
7.5.3 Libraries Screen: Routing Tab
The library screen's routing tab allows you to load and save presets of the
console's signal routings. This can be useful for repeating specific routing
scenarios that occur over and over on a regular basis, such as when using the
console for a weekly club gig or worship service.
To adjust the various settings on the routing tab, perform the following steps:
1. Adjust the 1st encoder to navigate among which specific console signal paths
will be recalled when loading a routing preset. Choices include:
• Channel Inputs
• Analog Out
• Auxiliary Out
• P16 (Ultranet) Out
• Card Out
• AES50 Out
2. Tap the 1st encoder to turn the currently selected element on/off in the
recall list.
3. To save and load presets, as well as import/export them, follow the same
procedures as detailed in the Libraries Screen: Channel Tab.
