The effect libraryhas access to two preset banks.Individual slots and banks may be copied betweenprojects after the project has been created.Projects are stored on easily-transportable standardCompact Flash cards, allowing projects to be trackedin a project studio, and mixed and produced in alarger facility, for example.Projects are date-stamped automatically (the DM-3200 contains a battery-backed clock) which helpsyou keep your work organized.Figure 2.21: Project structureProjectSnapshot EQ Comp/Exp Gate EffectSlot 1-128Slot 1-128Slot 1-128Slot 1-128(x4)Slot 1-128Slot 1-128Slot 1-128Slot 1-128(x4)Slot 1-128Slot 1-128Slot 1-128Slot 1-128(x4)Slot 1-128Slot 1-128Slot 1-128Slot 1-128(x4)Slot 1-128Slot 1-128Slot 1-128Slot 1-128(x4)CF Banks1-4CF Banks1-4CF Banks1-4CF Banks1-4CF Banks1-4CF Banks1-4CF Banks1-4CF Banks1-4CF Banks1-4CF Banks1-4CF Banks1-4CF Banks1-4CF Banks1-4CF Banks1-4CF Banks1-4CF Banks1-4CF Banks1-4CF Banks1-4CF Banks1-4CF Banks1-4Each library in each project also has accessto the appropriate preset bank (RAM).There are two preset banks for the effects.LibrariesAutomationdataSettingsdata
