kenficara:

The message LOADING appeared in the lower right, and the pedal just said "READY." Nothing else happened.

That's all you see until the load is complete. It takes quite a while.

kenficara:

1. When using FactorLib, should the pedal be in update mode or just powered on

Powered on – update mode is only for updates. In case this confuses others, we'll add a warning to the next version.

kenficara:

2. How do I know the pedal has been successfully recognized?

It will give warnings within about 5 seconds if it has not.

kenficara:

3. When is it safe to disconnect the USB cable from the pedal?

After all loads and other activity are complete.

kenficara:

4. Why not mention in the documentation that all banks need to be available?

They don't need to be – it will only load the currently selected banks – this is deliberate. We can add a note to the UM but it is pretty self evident.

kenficara:

As far as the "EMPTY" message, I've never seen it before

This is a message from the Looper, indicating that it has no recording, i.e. is empty. Presumably the unit was switched off in a state where the looper was loaded, so it came back when you powered up. It was unfortunate that this message could be interpreted as "no presets".
