OPENING A LIBRARY
Once you have created some libraries and copied some clips into them from a project,
you may have something like this screen display:
This shows a typical list of libraries. As you can see, there are libraries relating to certain
categories of sounds you have on disk and these are listed alphabetically. The arrows
alongside the list indicate that there are libraries ‘above’ and ‘below’ the screen which you
may scroll to. Pressing OPEN in the DIRECTORY page will display something like this
screen:
Here we can see a list of clips in the library DEMO LIB 1 on DISK 0. As in the main
DIRECTORY page, the two arrows at the right of the screen indicate that there are clips
‘above’ and ‘below’ the screen which you may scroll to. You cannot select a different
library here - you must close the current library and chose a different one to open from the
main DIRECTORY page.
You may audition a clip at any time by pressing PLAY CLIP. You may wish to rename
these clips to have more meaningful names so the ability to audition clips using the PLAY
CLIP function will be invaluable for you to check the sound prior to renaming.
RENAMING CLIPS
There will be occasions where the name of a clip may be meaningless. This may happen
when recording to a library using the default record name TAKE
n
. After a busy recording
session, you may have a list of takes called TAKE 1 to TAKE 56. This is a perfectly
acceptable practice as it can save a lot of time when recording and it is possible to
rename the clip within the library itself when you maybe have more time.
All you need to do to rename a clip is move the cursor to the clip you want to rename,
press the NAME key and type in a ten character name using the track select keys. Press
EXECUTE to end the name and EXECUTE again to rename the clip. Alternatively, if you
are using a PC keyboard, simply start typing in a suitable name on the clip you want to
rename and press RETURN to finish naming and RETURN again to rename the clip. Press
ESC(ape) to abort the naming process on the computer keyboard (or EXIT on the DL’s
front panel).
