Synchronizing SPX2000 Editor
When SPX2000 Editor starts up for the first time, the parameter settings on the SPX2000 unit and the parameter settings in SPX2000 Editor be different. Therefore, you must first match the parameter settings on the SPX2000 unit
with those in SPX2000 Editor. This operation is called “synchronization.” Follow the steps below to synchronize
SPX2000 Editor.
Getting StartedAppendix
1
Choose [Re-synchronize] from the [Synchronization] menu.
The following window opens.
2
Select whether you want to transfer your settings to SPX2000 Editor, or vice versa.
At this time, the [All Libs] option determines whether or not Library data is synchronized.
[PC -> SPX2000] : Tr ansfers the settings of the current SPX2000 Editor Session to your SPX2000 unit.
[SPX2000 -> PC] : Tr ansfers the settings of your SPX2000 unit to the current SPX2000 Editor Session.
Click [OK].
3
Do not operate the SPX2000 unit while synchronization is in progress.
NOTE
• If you use the “Total Recall” function in Studio Manager, all selected Editors in Studio Manager are
synchronized with the corresponding devices.
• If the operation lock setting is enabled on the SPX2000 unit, parameters that are blocked will not
change on the SPX2000 unit when you operate SPX2000 Editor; this means that the parameter
settings in SPX2000 Editor and in the SPX2000 unit itself may not match.
For details on the settings that are blocked, refer to the SPX2000 owner’s manual.

Offline Edit Function
If you do not want to synchronize your SPX2000 unit with SPX2000 Editor, select [Offline Edit] from the [Synchronization] menu. The Offline Edit function is also activated when you click the [ONLINE]/[OFFLINE] button in the
Effect Editor window.
To apply your off-line edits to your SPX2000 unit, synchronize the SPX2000 unit with SPX2000 Editor.
NOTE
Some parameters in the SPX2000 unit change their displayed values depending on the sampling
frequency. If you switch SPX2000 Editor from OFFLINE to ONLINE, displayed parameter values may
change because SPX2000 Editor loads the sampling frequency from the SPX2000 unit and updates
the display.
Working with Sessions
All of the settings in SPX2000 Editor, including the library data, are collectively called a “Session.” The following table
describes how to handle Sessions.
Creating a new Session
Opening a previously saved Session
Saving the current Session
Saving the current Session with a new name
If you save a Session in the SPX2000 Editor window, only that Editor’s settings are saved in a file with a file extension
of “.SPX”.
If you save a Session in the Studio Manager, all selected Editor settings are saved in a file with a file extension of
“. Y SM”.
Choose [New Session] from the [File] menu.
Choose [Open Session] from the [File] menu.
Choose [Save Session] from the [File] menu.
Choose [Save Session As...] from the [File] menu.
Undo/Redo Function
In SPX2000 Editor, you can cancel the latest operation (Undo) and also cancel the cancellation of the latest operation
(Redo). If you perform an Undo operation twice in a row, you can cancel the two most-recent operations. If you perform an Undo operation three times in a row, you can cancel the three most-recent operations. In this way, you can
cancel multiple recent operations. The following table describes how to use the Undo/Redo function.
NOTE
To cancel (i.e., Undo) the most recently-performed operation in the Library window, click the [Undo]
button in the Library window. You cannot execute [Undo]/[Redo] commands from the [Edit] menu.
For details, refer to page 5.

Library Window
The Library window enables you to manage libraries (parameter settings for each effect). In addition, libraries can be
saved to disk on your computer as Library files.
To open the Library window, choose [Library] from the [Windows] menu.
The Library window consists of two panes. The pane on the left, called the [FILE] section, displays the contents of the
SPX2000 Editor library file. The pane on the right, called the [INTERNAL DATA] section, displays the Effect list of
the SPX2000 unit.
You can copy and sort the items (effects) in the list by dragging them between the panes. Within the same pane, you
can copy an effect by dropping it on top of another effect, and you can sort effects by dropping an effect between two
effects. Effects can be swapped by holding down the <Shift> key while dragging. In all cases, the contents of the destination effect are overwritten. To edit a effect title, click the title, then type. To select multiple effects, click effects
you want to choose while holding down <Shift> key or <Ctrl> key (< >).
