Project Management

On the project screen you change various settings of the current project, save the current project, rename it (including giving it a random new name) create a new blank project or go to the project browser screen to load an another existing project.

Your current project settings are saved automatically every minute except when the sequencer is running, ie. when the current project is playing. This means that should you restart the picoTracker or accidently power off or a crash occurs, your current project state within the last minute will be restored when you restart the picoTracker.

You can explicitly save the current project by pressing [SAVE] on the project screen. By doing this you can then later on revert to the state that you just saved by reloading the current project using the [Load] button on screen button on the project screen.
