Which sub-menu item did you choose? This is important, as it determines the banks to copy to the library. >Another question >is that while building a library for a particular device SD is >requesting entries again for that particular device while I requested >them a few minutes before. This should not happen. Are you sure SoundDiver really had the patch data (shown in black) - or just the names (which are shown iin grey)? >What's exactly the difference between a >preference file and a library file? A preferences file contains the current state of your devices - a Library is a database of any patches the devices can use. >After closing SD and starting it >again, opening a device, all or some parts of the entries are grayed >out, so I have to request them again did I something wrong? If you want to have the edit buffers also memorized in the prefs file, change setting "Save device entries in Prefs file" from "I+C+R" to "all". -- Beste Gruesse - best regards, Michael Haydn EMAGIC Soft- und Hardware GmbH SoundDiver Group Executive Logic Windows Developer Unitor8 Control Project Manager
