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. Figure 2.27: Library selection pull-up menu 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 representation 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 corresponding representation of the currently highlighted 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 currentlyselected 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. 30 TASCAM DM-3200 Owner's Manual
