NOTE
2 – Basic operational concepts : About projects and libraries
Remember that deleting a project also deletes all the
custom library entries (snapshot, effect and dynamics
processor settings, etc. and the automation data) associated
with the project. Only delete the project if you are
certain that you do not want any of the project data
any more.
Renaming a project This is very similar to the
copy procedure (see above) where the on-screen
RENAME button is pressed to provide a new unique
name for the project (as described in “Naming
library entries” on page 41).
Saving project data
• From the MANAGE PRJ. screen, move the cursor
to the on-screen STORE button.
Figure 2.33: Storing a project
• Press ENTER to store the current project settings.
Appropriate popup messages appear,
finishing with “Completed” when all save operations
are complete.
In addition to these facilities named above, there is
an on-screen button allowing a direct jump to the CF
card maintenance screen, allowing formatting of a
card, etc.
Protecting a project The on-screen PROTECT button
allows a project to be locked against accidental
writing or deletion.
Highlight a project in the right-hand list, and press
this on-screen button to protect it. A padlock icon
appears beside the project name in the list.
This button is also used to unprotect a protected
project, allowing data to be written to it again, or for
the project to be deleted.
TIP
Get into the habit of doing this at critical points in your
project.
You can also use the STORE AS button to bring up the
naming panel (see “Naming library entries” on
page 41), allowing the current project settings to be
stored under a different name (similar to the Save
As... on many computer programs), allowing different
versions of a project to be available.
