Processing Library
The processing library is a tool that allows you to save processing blocks, customs blocks or sections of a file with all internal settings in separate catalogs. It also allows sharing and deploying this items in any file speeding up the programing process and eliminating repetitive work.
The processing library
The processing library can be opened by clicking on the processing library icon in the layout bar 
The processing library should open on the left side. Note that the library has two sections, one for catalogs and one for items. A catalog is a container that can hold many items, for instance, you could have a loudspeaker processing catalog with a series of loudspeaker processing custom blocks for all the loudspeakers you normally use.
The icons on the top of the dialog give full control of all the functions of the processing library as shown
Creating and deleting a catalog
Creating a catalog is very easy. Just click the new catalog icon. Once created, you can rename it by selecting it and typing a new name. Catalogs are automatically saved in My Documents\Biamp\tesira\Processing Library.
Clicking the delete icon will erase the catalog from the dialog as well as from the directory location mentioned above
