2 - Basic operational concepts : Library management Library management The following libraries are available within each project on the DM-3200 for storing and recalling commonly-used settings: • Snapshots (scene memories) • EQ settings • Compressor/expander settings • Gate settings • Effect settings (for internal effects 1 and 2) Up to four card-stored banks of each library type are available in each project. These banks are independent of each other and independent of the banks in other projects. It is, of course, possible to copy library entries (or entire banks) between projects, as well as using existing projects as templates, allowing favorite effect settings, for example, to be used throughout a group of projects. There is also an internal bank, containing read-only preset settings, which can be accessed by all projects. In each bank, there may be up to 128 entries. The entries in the internal banks comprise read-only presets, which may be used unchanged, or recalled and used as the basis for original settings. Library entries may be named and are automatically time-stamped, to provide a reference for just when and why a particular effect or setting was created. Management of the library banks and the library entries contained in them is done from within a special utility screen accessed from a pull-up menu. Note that all libraries are very similar in their basic operation, and differ only in details. If there are any specific differences relating to an individual library, they are described in the appropriate section of the manual. To enter the library management screen, insert a formatted CF card (or insert a blank card and format it-see "Formatting a new card" on page 24) and press the LIBRARY key: Figure 2.26: Library management (gate library shown as example) Use the POD 1 key to pull up the menu which allows a jump to the appropriate library.

TASCAM DM-3200 Owner’s Manual
Library management
The following libraries are available within each
project on the DM-3200 for storing and recalling
commonly-used settings:
Snapshots (scene memories)
EQ settings
Compressor/expander settings
Gate settings
Effect settings (for internal effects 1 and 2)
Up to four card-stored banks of each library type are
available in each project. These banks are indepen-
dent of each other and independent of the banks in
other projects.
It is, of course, possible to copy library entries (or
entire banks) between projects, as well as using exist-
ing projects as templates, allowing favorite effect set-
tings, for example, to be used throughout a group of
projects.
There is also an internal bank, containing read-only
preset settings, which can be accessed by all projects.
In each bank, there may be up to 128 entries. The
entries in the internal banks comprise read-only pre-
sets, which may be used unchanged, or recalled and
used as the basis for original settings.
Library entries may be named and are automatically
time-stamped, to provide a reference for just when
and why a particular effect or setting was created.
Management of the library banks and the library
entries contained in them is done from within a spe-
cial utility screen accessed from a pull-up menu.
Note that all libraries are very similar in their basic
operation, and differ only in details. If there are any
specific differences relating to an individual library,
they are described in the appropriate section of the
manual.
To enter the library management screen, insert a for-
matted CF card (or insert a blank card and format
it—see “Formatting a new card” on page 24) and
press the
LIBRARY
key:
Use the POD 1 key to pull up the menu which allows
a jump to the appropriate library.
Use the POD 1 dial to highlight the required option
in the menu, and the POD 1 key or
ENTER
key to
select the highlighted option.
In most library screens, a small graphical representa-
tion of the currently-loaded setting (snapshot, EQ
setting, etc.) occupies the top left of the screen, while
the top right part of the screen is used to show a cor-
responding representation of the currently high-
lighted library entry.
Using library banks
Select the bank within the
current project by using the cursor keys to highlight
the
PRESET
or
CF BANK
to be used, and pressing
ENTER
.
This bank is used to recall a preset or previously
stored setting or to store the current settings.
Current data is always stored on the left side of the
library screen, and the library data in the currently-
selected bank and slot is shown on the right.
Bank selection can also be done by pressing the
+
and
keys to the left of the display in the
LIBRARY
section with the
SHIFT
key pressed, when the current
banks is selected for this purpose in the
OPTION
screen.
