''Bell System - Optional Recording Feature''

The Recording Librarian is a specialized remote control panel for the Record option for the Chime Master carillons and bell controllers. You should be familiar with making recordings using the the keyboard before using this application. The button for the Recording Librarian will not appear in the Management Suite menu unless your carillon has the factory installed record option, and the Management Suite is installed with a Premium license.

If the carillon is not currently performing in an automatic mode then clicking (or tapping) the Record Librarian button on the Management Suite menu will open the librarian screen. You can exit either by closing the window or tapping on the Go to Standby button.

If you have made recordings, there will be a list of selections from 8000 to 9999 listed in the window with columns for each displaying the title, song type, and erased status.

== Title and Categorize Your Recording ==

If you title your selection, it will be available in the title lookup for the Jukebox and Group Nine favorite play list editor. To process the song you have just recorded, select the last selection in the list by clicking on ~~it. If you can’t remember what it was, right click it and select Play (from the pop-up menu, not the button at the top) to audition~~ it.

If you title your selection, it will be available in the title lookup for the Jukebox and Group Nine favorite play list editor. To process the song you have just recorded, select the last selection in the list by clicking on it.

~~Click~~ the ~~Enable Changes check~~-~~box~~ to ~~allow editing~~. Double click 'Untitled' to ~~open~~ the ~~Title Text field~~, and type the title of the selection (up to 20 characters). Double click the item in the Random Play ~~field~~ to ~~select an almanac season to add~~ the selection ~~to (unless~~ you ~~wish to add it to~~ the ~~User Group 9 list)~~. ~~When~~ you ~~have finished titles and categories for all of~~ the ~~selections you wish to change~~, ~~click~~ Save Changes to Device.

=== Audition recordings ===

You may make several recordings before processing the titles. If you can’t remember which recording number belongs to a particular song you can audition the selections. Select the title or selection number, right click over it, and select Play from the pop-up menu to hear it. The Play button below the blue display at the top of the screen always plays the single song in the temporary recording memory (selection 8000).

=== Editing the list ===

Double click 'Untitled' to edit the title text, and type the title of the selection (up to 20 characters). Double click the item in the third ''Random Play'' column to edit the status of the selection.

As you make changes in the editor, the fifth status column ''Changes'' will indicate what changes you have made. The changes do not take place until you click the button above the listing, ''Save Changes to Device''.

Consider backing up your recordings using the Backup feature in the main menu before editing them. Once you save your changes, they are permanent.

=== Random season ===

Double click on the selections status for Random Play. The selections you make here will allow the music to be mixed in with the seasonal music selections from the factory in random groups 1 through 8. If you prefer to customize random group 9 by adding these recordings, you can leave the status, here, as it is, ''Not added to Random List''. Otherwise add it to a seasonal play list by double clicking on the selections status and select one of the following seasons from the pull down menu.

* ''Non-Seasonal'' (the selection will play in ordinary time)

* ''Lent''

* ''Easter''

* ''Patriotic''

* ''Thanksgiving''

* ''Advent''

* ''Christmas''

=== Making a repeatable function ===

If you want to make a special bell ringing sequence that can be repeated on one of your programmable function buttons, select ''Bell Ringing'' from the status pull down menu.

Create your own toll for example, by playing any bell on the keyboard and holding it for as long as you want the repeat rate to be. For five seconds between tolls, hold the key down for exactly five seconds. Then add the selection by number to a function button and set it to repeat the number of times you wish.

If you do not select ''Bell Ringing'' the system will assume it is a musical selection and add a pause between repeats to allow the note to decay before playing anything to follow.

=== Removing from random seasons ===

The memory used to store these selections is read only. Once a selection is made in to the selections seasonal status, it can only be changed in two other ways. One is to remove it from the seasonal play lists, the other is to erase it.

=== Erasing a recording ===

=== ~~Making a repeatable function~~ ===

To erase a recording, double click the ''No'' for the selection in the fourth column ''Erased''. Doing this will color the selection in red to warn you that you are about to make the selection irreversibly unplayable.

=== Saving your edits ===

When you have finished making edits to the listing, double check them for correctness. Once the edits are saved, they are saved to safe, permanent memory in the system. The only way to undo changes is to erase the memory and restore a backup file, if you have made one since making the recordings.

~~If you want~~ to ~~make a special~~ bell ~~ringing sequence that can be repeated on one of~~ your ~~programmable function buttons, select the~~

Click the ''Save Changes to Device'' button to program the memory in the bell system with your changes.
