Snapshots, you won’t be able to load that Snapshot into another instance of Band
Delays. This is because the Current bank is unique to the current plug-in instance.
Why are there Global banks and Current banks? The main reason to have two is
because you can automate the loading of Snapshots via MIDI Program Change. This
is a very powerful feature, however if you only had Global Snapshots, and they had
been changed since you last loaded the session, the Snapshot that gets loaded is
likely to sound different. Therefore, we offer you two kinds.
Proper Snapshot Hygiene
Snapshots can be very powerful in use, but knowing how they work will help ensure
that your Eventide Band Delays Snapshots load and sound right every time. So, if you
want to load a Snapshot using Program Change, load it from the Current bank. If
you want to build yourself your favorite 16 and use them everywhere, use the Global
Snapshots. If you want to copy a cool Current Snapshot into the Global bank, simply
load it with the Current button selected first, then command-click on the desired
Snapshot button after selecting the Global button.
Restoring Global Defaults
The Global bank contains the same presets that can be found in the Default
Snapshots folder up in the Pro Tools preset load menu. Load one and store it back
into its numbered location on the Global tab to restore it to its “factory settings.”
