Having prepared a composition you wish to keep, storing a corresponding

Comp

is simply a matter of clicking

the

COMP

button above the

T-Bar

Comp Bin

, and clicking an empty position. An image grabbed

from output of the module is displayed to represent the

Comp

.

If you later wish to revise a

Comp

, you can do so either by rolling the mouse over it and clicking the ‘snapshot’

icon shown at upper-right (Figure 192) or by right-clicking the icon and selecting

Update

in the context menu

that appears (Figure 193).
