8 - Library functions—Other libraries8–5There are no dedicated hardware STORE andRECALL keys, and no dedicated keys for increment-ing and decrementing the current library entry num-ber. Instead, the three library keys: EFFECT, EQ andDYNAMICS are used to bring up the appropriatelibrary management screens.The EQ library management screen shows the equal-ization curve above the list of the currently-high-lighted library entry. The equalization curve for thecurrently-selected module is displayed at the upperleft of the screen.The equalization for the module can be turned on andoff in this screen, using the EQ key to the right of thedisplay screen above the buss assignment keys [18],and the current on/off status is shown at the top rightof the screen.The effect processor library management screenshows the effect details above the list (reverb, delay,flanger, etc.) of the currently-highlighted libraryentry. To the right of the effect names is the abbrevi-ated name of the effect type (see 8.2.1, “Effect typeabbreviations” below).The effect details of the currently-selected effect pro-cessor settings are displayed at the upper left of thescreen. At the top right of the screen, the currentsource and destination of the effect processor areshown (the settings for these are described in 7.1.2,“Processor input mode” and 7.1.4, “Effect processorreturn”.The dynamics processor library management screenshows the dynamic gain response above the list of thecurrently-highlighted library entry. The dynamic gainresponse of the dynamics processor for the currently-selected module is displayed at the upper left of thescreen. At the top right of the screen, a button allowsthe enabling or bypassing of the processor using theDYNAMICS key to the right of the display screen[19].By moving the cursor to the on-screen LINK but-ton, and pressing ENTER, the processor can belinked or unlinked to or from the adjacent processor(see the explanation of the DYNAMICS key [11] foran explanation of processor linking).The main difference between these screens is there-fore that the EQ and dynamics library entries applyto a selected module (or a pair of stereo linked mod-ules), while the effect library entry is applied to thewhole setup.This makes the library functions especially useful forcopying equalization and dynamics processor set-tings, between modules. If, for example, the samecompressor settings are to be applied to a group ofmodules, the settings are first made on one module,stored to a library entry as described below. Theother modules to which the settings are to be appliedare then selected in turn, and the compressor settingsrecalled from the library to each module. Equaliza-tion settings can be applied to a number of modulesin the same way.8.2.1 Effect type abbreviationsThese abbreviations are given at the right of theeffect name in the scrolling list:REV ReverbG.R.
