section with the SHIFT key pressed. This refers to the
banks of the current library as selected for this pur-
pose in the
OPTION SETUP screen.
Viewing library entries POD 4 or the wheel
may be used to scroll through and highlight the
library entries in the currently-selected bank. The on-
screen representation changes as the entries are high-
lighted. POD 4’s key can be used as a “soft key” here
to bring up a popup with the properties of the high-
lighted entry.
Pressing the POD 2 switch brings up an edit screen,
allowing the title, etc. of the library entry to be edited
(see “Naming library entries” on page 41).
Recalling library entries When a library entry
is highlighted, using the
RECALL key to the left of
the “fat channel” recalls the entry in the library cur-
rently selected in the
OPTIONS/SETUP screen. Settings
change to that of the entry. The POD 3 switch or the
on-screen
RECALL button may also be used to recall a
library entry from the library currently being used,
regardless of the
OPTIONS setting (navigate to the on-
screen button and press
ENTER).
The
+ and – keys can also be used (without the
SHIFT key) to recall the library entries within the
bank in sequence.
TIP
By using the SHIFT key and the RECALL key, the
recall action can be undone. Pressing the
SHIFT +
RECALL key combination after an undo operation will
redo the recall action.
Storing library entries The current settings can
be stored as a library entry to the currently-selected
library in
OPTIONS/SETUP by using the dedicated
STORE key to the left of the “fat channel”. They will
be stored to the slot in the library highlighted at the
right of the screen. The on-screen
STORE button may
be used to store the currently-shown library settings
to the appropriate library (navigate to it and press
ENTER).
If this action will overwrite an existing library entry,
this is shown as a popup message. Popup messages
are also shown if the settings cannot be stored
(maybe because there is no space on the card) or if
the destination slot contains a read-only preset.
Use the POD 2 switch with the on-screen STORE AS
button. Pressing it brings up the naming panel, and
the renamed entry can then be stored.
TIP
You can copy library entries directly between banks (see
“Library utilities” on page 39), but you also can load a
library entry from one bank, thereby making it the cur-
rent entry, select another bank, and store the current
entry to that bank.
Deleting library entries When a library entry is
highlighted on the right side of the screen, you can
delete it from memory, using the on-screen
DELETE
button.
Navigate to the button, and press
ENTER. A popup
message appears, asking you to confirm that the
library entry is to be deleted. Confirm the deletion
with
ENTER, cancel it with a cursor key.
An error message pops up if you try to delete a read-
only library entry.
Library utilities
These utilities allow batch operations, etc. to manage
library data and the CF cards.
